Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[kricker]

If it has a "window" you can look at adding action\window\close. First you'll have to find the window you want to close. Best to start a new thread for this.

His post tells you how to close an app... it does not technically "kill processes" as you asked - it makes a request to the OS to close the app. There is a difference - I took your request literally this is why I posted.

Hi,

First of all Great plugin. Solved most of my problems to get my remote to work.

I modified the __init__.py file a little. (Added the red,green,yellow and blue buttons).

My question is: How do i get EventGhost to load the changes I made?

(When I add a new plugin, I see the modifications are there, but is there a way to refresh the plugin, so i do not have to add all the events again after a madification of the __init__.py file?)

Mind showing what you modified? maybe it can be added to my plugin.

Unfortunately I don't know any other way than to delete all actions belonging to the plugin and then deleting the plugin, and then to add the plugin again. Of course you would need to assign all remote buttons again.
But if you only added 4 new buttons, it can't be that hard to add them manually with Add Macro/Action? that's what I do.

These are the things i added...

Code: Select all

REMOTE_BUTTONS = (
(eg.ActionGroup, "Remote", "Remote", None, (
...
    ("RemoteRed", "Red", "", "Red"),
    ("RemoteGreen", "Green", "", "Green"),
    ("RemoteYellow", "Yellow", "", "Yellow"),
    ("RemoteBlue", "Blue", "", "Blue"),
    ("RemoteLanguage", "Language", "", "Language"),
)),
)

I'll try to add them manually the next time i add something, I didn't know this could be done...
Thanx...

Thanks for testing. Did you test the GetCurrentlyPlayingFilename command?, and on what XBMC version?

I'm finishing a new test version that should allow to run any JSON-RPC and HTTP API commands that XBMC supports, just some boring stuff left, hopefully within the week.

I'm on beta2

I have not tried to grab any info from it yet. I'd like to so that I can trigger Macros based on what XBMC is doing.

OK finally I'm finished with the next experimental/test version of XBMCRepeat, this time the new actions are a bit more useful then the last test version.I have added 3 new actions in an Experimental action group.

JSONRPC get more info here.

Just put any relevant parameters for a command in the parameter textbox. if you want to use results from a previous command, the standard {eg.result} wont work so you need to use this instead {{eg.result}} (double curly braces).
What a method returns varies, so the log option shows any results in EventGhosts log.
The first time adding the JSONRPC action you need to press the update button while XBMC is running to get the list of current methods the XBMC supports.

HTTPAPI get more info here.

The first time adding the HTTPAPI action you need to press the update button to download(from the internets) the list of current commands the current XBMC supports.

SendMessage the last new action will send a notification to XBMC with a custom title and message.

As these are experimental actions I might need to change them in later versions, to fix bugs or I need to change them to work better.

If you dare to test this please report any problems or suggestions. And I absolutely forbid anybody to look at the code(as it's ugly and might scar you for life )

The new actions don't affect the old actions so you could just overwrite the old version, you can backup the old one first if you like.
