Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[Livin]

BUT when I'm trying to create custom Actions it seems that the "Update" button is throwing an error...

Did you do the fix from here? Or else it can't work as Frodo is more strict when sending commands to XBMC.[/quote]

yup I added the code before trying the 'Update' button.

Hmm, maybe something else is new in Frodo, I'll look into it later, I need to update to the latest alpha. Hopefully it's something easy.

Finally had a chance to work on the plugin.(Why does time fly when I'm not getting anything done? ) I used the code from here to connect to Frodo alpha6, and it seems to work, at least the JSON update button gets all commands now.

If it still don't work post your EventGhost config.

Hopefully I get some real work done tomorrow.

Hi,

I don't know if you can help me: i'm searching a way to link the xbmc volume osd with the windows volume.Actually, it is linked to independant xbmc volume.

Thanks

I haven't seen anything like that, so don't think it's possible. Ask in the XBMC forum, they should know if possible.
If you want to show the Windows volume in XBMC you could try XBMC2\Experimental\SendNotification.

First, thank you for a great plugin. I have been using it for along time and has made my XBMC life that much more enjoyable.

Now, the problem .

I originally used the XBMCRepeat version of this addon and upgraded successfully many months ago to XBMC2 without having to change the folder name from XBMCRepeat.

I just recently upgraded to EventGhost r1582 from r1544 and upon loading, I get and error in the log stating the Error loading Plugin - Unknown Plugin XBMC2.

I have searched this forum and I haven;t come across this issue and if it does it exist, I sincerely apologize for missing it.

I am using Windows 7 64bit.

I have tried adding the plugin back and that works, but going that route, it would appear i would have to redo all my work as it wants to create another folder with all the commands.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Aww, why do problems have to ruin the moment.

OK, this should be an easy fix, read this and if you don't get it working post again.

First of all ... thank you very much for this usefull plugin and for still supporting it !

here comes my problem with the JSONRPCEvent "Handler" (Latest Frodo Nightly build):

when i play a video (or any other "play" action basically) i get the following error:

Code: Select all

23:31:45   Raw event: {u'params': {u'data': {u'playlistid': 1}, u'sender': u'xbmc'}, u'jsonrpc': u'2.0', u'method': u'Playlist.OnClear'}
23:31:45   Error: JSON-RPC event (<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, KeyError('item',), <traceback object at 0x049696E8>)
23:31:45   Not listening for XBMC JSON-RPC events

other events from xbmc seem to be fine. But i'm interested in knowing if something is playing in XBMC... and the above error disconnects EG from XBMC everytime this error happens.

if i comment the following part:

Code: Select all

				#except:
				#	import sys
				#	eg.PrintError('Error: JSON-RPC event ' + str(sys.exc_info()))
				#	#eg.PrintError('Error: JSON-RPC event')
				#	break

i get the following error:

Code: Select all

23:37:26   Raw event: {u'params': {u'data': {u'playlistid': 1}, u'sender': u'xbmc'}, u'jsonrpc': u'2.0', u'method': u'Playlist.OnClear'}
23:37:26   message :Playlist.OnClear
23:37:26   Exception in thread Thread-7:

23:37:26     File "C:\_Applications\EventGhost\plugins\XBMCRepeat\__init__.py", line 1293, in JSONRPCEvents
23:37:26       event += '.' + payload['item']['type']
23:37:26   KeyError: 'item'

if i uncomment the payload handling like:

Code: Select all

					#payload = message['params']['data']
								
					#if payload:
					#	event += '.' + payload['item']['type']
					#	del payload['item']['type']
					#	if not payload['item']:
					#		del payload['item']

i DO NOT get any errors anymore for movies (but obviously loosing the payload stuff in events )

But i DO GET the following error by opening a playlist file:

Code: Select all

23:42:07   Exception in thread Thread-7:
23:42:07   Traceback (most recent call last):
23:42:07     File "threading.pyc", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner

23:42:07       message = json.loads(message)
23:42:07     File "json\__init__.pyc", line 307, in loads
23:42:07     File "json\decoder.pyc", line 322, in decode
23:42:07   ValueError: Extra data: line 15 column 1 - line 29 column 1 (char 182 - 364)

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I'm using the latest Version of the Plugin: 0.6.3e

Eventghost Version: 0.4.1.r1540

when i play a video (or any other "play" action basically) i get the following error:

There was posted a similar problem here. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to fix it yet, but now I have attached a new Test version that hopefully fixes this problem or at least gives a better error message and won't stop other events from XBMC. You shouldn't need the "Show Raw events" option anymore as it's included in the errors now.

and the above error disconnects EG from XBMC everytime this error happens

I make it stop the events when there was an unsupported event so people testing would be forced to report it I assumed I would have a finished version without that problem by now so bad idea.

if i comment the following part: Buncha commented code

Sorry you had to try and fix it yourself.

Cool.

I however still get an error... but this is just for your reference... in case it might help.

The big "Raw event" looks like it combines several events in one and I have read that that was possible. That's something I haven't seen before and there is no support for it in the plugin. Hopefully I can look into it soon and it's not too hard to add support for it.

So thanks for reporting it, any problems reported has a much higher chance to get fixed even if it's been reported before, as it might not get fixed the first time unfortunately.

There's something else... and i'm not quite sure if it has to do with the recent Change/fix:

When i stop (and maybe start) XBMC... i get tons auf Messages about XBMC2.player.stop or XBMC2.onquit (or similar). Causing a very high CPU load for quite a few seconds.

I didn't had the Chance to investigate further... but will... as soon as time Permits.
