Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[jonib]

I get a similar error with Frodo, along with a file not found error.

I haven't tested it in Frodo yet but the "File not found" is probably because Frodo don't support the HTTPAPI anymore.

The latest test version here, would give a better error message and also supports some of the new JSON event types. But it might have a new (old) infinite loop bug.

Cheers, it now gives a 'JSON unrecogniced event type:' error message, and it continues to listen for json events.

I'm using frodo & eden concurrently. You can install them to different directories and keep the same sources and settings. So far the former seems quite good.

I was wondering if you can play XBMC "Smart Playlist" with one button/click? let say i have AmericanDad.xsp, how can i Play this playlist with a trigger from eventghost.
Apologies if this question is silly or have been answered before but i cant seem to figure it out.

Try this:
XBMC2\Experimental\JSONRPC action with Namespace: Player, Method: Open then add this: {"item":{"file":"special://profile/playlists/video/Penguins.xsp"}} (change name of the playlist).

If you are using Frodo (XBMC12) then you will need to use one of the last test versions of the plugin.

As far as I know there are no events for window changes and I have not seen any plans to add them.

Oh no, this is not so good for me. I wanted to control my home server dependent on where I am in xbmc. I've set this up for mediaportal and it is working quite well.

If you want new events I guess the best is to ask in the XBMC JSON forum thread here.

Will xbmc report back the window when you call it via
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JS ... vateWindow
?

Don't look like it, it just sends an "OK".

I already use a remote key to toggle xbmc fullscreen and i can do that with my keyboard too, but how can i do that with my mouse, for instance by long press on a bouton or something like that ?

Thanks

This isn't really a XBMC specific question. I haven't done anything mouse related with XBMC or EventGhost but I assume you'll need to use this MouseEvent plugin.

Hi,

I think it is what i'm searching.
I did only searched on defaut plugins.

Thanks

Can anyone provide some help? Installed latest XBMC (Frodo RC1) and XBMC2 plugin (with JSON fix). But XBMC refuses to react on any command from Cyberlink remote. Keyboard emulation mode works, but XBMC2 seems way better...at least, in theory. All needed options in XBMC are enabled, of course. Firewall checked also. I attached screenshot.

Anything wrong with my setup?

I found easier :
Create a xml file in userdata\keymap with this :

<keymap>
<global>
<mouse>
<doubleclick>ToggleFullScreen</doubleclick>
</mouse>
</global>
</keymap>

So i can doubleclick with my mouse to toggle xbmc full screen.

It works fine for me with RC1 and latest EventGhost, so it has to be your setup (I think )

You need to check that the IP matches between the XBMC2 plugin (Rightclick and choose configure Item in the Autostart folder) and XBMC (Settings\Network\Remote control) needs "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC"

I checked everything. But no luck at all. Will wait till next XBMC2 release.

Hmm, I moved my XBMC settings dir, so XBMC created a new config and I didn't have to do anything in XBMC for it to work. So only thing needed should be to have the correct IP in XBMC2, and if you run both XBMC and EventGhost on the same computer the default IP should work.

Only things I can think of:
Did you check this (Settings\Services\Remote control) needs "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC" to be checked, you didn't mention it.
Try putting your actual IP in the XBMC2 config.

Other then that maybe something is conflicting with the port 9777 that XBMC2 is using to send the commands (The port setting in XBMC2s config is for HTTPAPI only)

I don't think the next release is going to help, as I'm not planning any changes in how the actions are sent to XBMC, as they seem to work correctly. But I'll see if I can improve detecting connection problems.

Hello.
Thanks for a great work with the plugin.

What iam looking for is a way for eventghost to get a signal when openelec (xbmc 12rc1) play / pause / stop
I tryed your plugin and i could send signals to xbmc from the plugin but it does not seems that i could receive any information from xbmc.
and jsonrpc gives me only connection error but for example sendNotification works.

So what do i have to configure to make the plugin listen to what xbmc does?
