Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[ntk1]

i'm using onkyo iscp and select command, this is the commands

I can't test as I don't have your amp, but this should work.

Put a "Python command" action in the macro, then put the below code in it.

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.OnkyoISCP.SendCommand(u'MVL'+str(eg.event.payload["volume"]))

It should send a MVL+volume to your amp.

jonib

thanks! this is working

but i have a problem, because my amp goes up to MVL57 (volume 87 max) and from volume 32 down it goes MVL1F / MVL1d / MVL1e

and XBMC goes from 1-100 so this is working but i want to do it manually, so i need to do 100 command

MVL57-XBMC 100
MVL56-XBMC 99
MVL55-XBMC 98...

how can i do that, i tried few combination but did not work, example

eg.plugins.OnkyoISCP.SendCommand(u'MV57' str(eg.event.payload["volume: 100'"]))

Apparently, you need to transcode XBMC Vol level to your amp vol level.

When looking at your amp commands, I see that the vol level is hex encoded.

So what you need to do it transcode 0-100 to 0-87, then convert the result to hex, then send the hex value to your amp.

Assuming the vol levels are linear, it should be easy.

Something like :

Code: Select all

xbmc = int(eg.event.payload['volume'])
amp = int(xbmc*0.87)
ampHex = hex(amp)[2:].upper()
ampCommand = "MVL" + ampHex
eg.plugins.OnkyoISCP.SendCommand(ampCommand)

Of course, you will have to put this in a python script rather than a python command. Or just for fun, you can put this in a python command :

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.OnkyoISCP.SendCommand("MVL" + hex(int(int(eg.event.payload['volume'])*0.87))[2:].upper())

this is working great but from 1-16 the commands are

MVL00
MVL02
MVL03
MVL04
MVL05
MVL07
MVL09
MVL0A
MVL0B
MVL0C
MVL0D
MVL0E
MVL0F

and its not working ( there are also a 5-6 commands with letters between 17-87 that is not working ) there is a way to make all commands with letters also work? or i can just do the letters manually one by one but i don't know how

thanks for the help!

[jonib]

this is working great but from 1-16 the commands are

Try this:

Code: Select all

hex(int(int(eg.event.payload['volume'])*0.87))[2:].zfill(2).upper()

and its not working ( there are also a 5-6 commands with letters between 17-87 that is not working ) there is a way to make all commands with letters also work?

What commands are not working?

this is the list of all the volume commands, all the commands with the letters after the numbers are not working

also i wanted to know if there is a way to bypass the volume lock in XBMC when its in passthrough mode, because the volume bar is locked i cant change the volume in the amp when watching a movie

I'm sorry for being daft but "not working" is not that helpful to figure out what is not working.

also i wanted to know if there is a way to bypass the volume lock in XBMC when its in passthrough mode, because the volume bar is locked i cant change the volume in the amp when watching a movie

If I understand it correctly XBMC can't influence the volume in the passthrough mode (as the audio data goes directly to the decoder), so the volume control is disabled in XBMC.

Just a question why don't you control the amps volume directly? I never use the XBMCs volume as I control my speakers directly.

im sorry i will try to explain

all the commands with the letters in the end he will skip, so for example if mvl19 is 19 on the amp, mvl1A 1B... it will skip and continue when the commands are again only numbers, but MVL20 is already 30 in the amp not 20 ( so he skip on 20 21 22...and jump to 30 ) this is very stupid, don't know why this is not just 1-100 and have to be so complicated with all the letters

OnkyoISCP.MVL '19'
OnkyoISCP.MVL19
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1A'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1A
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1A'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1A
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1B'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1B
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1B'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1B
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1C'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1C
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1C'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1C
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1D'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1D
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1E'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1E
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1E'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1E
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1F'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1F
OnkyoISCP.MVL '1F'
OnkyoISCP.MVL1F
OnkyoISCP.MVL '20'


because im using YATSE (android remote) and i want to control the amp vol from within YATSE, maybe the only solution is CEC adapter, i also made shortcuts on the home screen for up \ down vol instead using onkyo app, it take time to load every time you switch from YATSE, but still prefer to have the option to control the amp directly from YATSE, for now im using this great XBMC plugin for eventghost to control my smart home, turn the light when start watching a movie, led strip activated by sound turn on with the music and etc

I can't understand your problem.

don't know why this is not just 1-100 and have to be so complicated with all the letters

Do you understand that :
"A" is the hexadecimal represention of 10 (decimal representation)
"10" is the hexadecimal represention of 16 (decimal representation)

[jonib]

This sounds like you should ask in the OnkyoISCP plugin thread.

Hi

I recently updated my xbmc eden to frodo.

I was using "open playlist" command with HTTP API (see my post viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1562&hilit=JSON+pla ... 435#p21960) but with frodo this API doens't exist anymore.

So i tried to do the same thing with JSON but i don't know how..

I tried to add command Player.Open but when i open JSONRPC action, commands are empty, and if i try to do "update", i have this error message:

Code: Select all

Error opening: jsonrpc.dat
Traceback (most recent call last) (1610):
  File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\XBMCRepeat\__init__.py", line 914, in OnUpdate

I'm using xbmc frodo on windows xp SP3.

Thanks for your help.

I tried to add command Player.Open but when i open JSONRPC action, commands are empty, and if i try to do "update", i have this error message:

Are you using the test release posted here, as that is needed for Frodo support. I'll try to release a Frodo supporting proper release (I'll probably update the version that is in EventGhost without the new event stuff, as they are not ready )

Hi,

I"m using EG 0.4.1.r1610 and xbmc2 provided within.(Is ther a file where i can read your plugin version without running EG?)

So i will try with with the frodo version from the link you gave me.

I'll probably update the version that is in EventGhost without the new event stuff

By "new event stuff" you mean "new EG version" ?

If it works, can you tell me the way to play a playlist with JSON ?

Thanks

[jonib]

I"m using EG 0.4.1.r1610 and xbmc2 provided within.(Is ther a file where i can read your plugin version without running EG?)

You can look in the plugin file "(EventGhost install dir)\plugins\XBMCRepeat\__init__.py", but you can't check the test versions as they have the same version number.

By "new event stuff" you mean "new EG version" ?

No the new JSON-RPC notifications and broadcast events, I have been working on them for a while, and only released test versions as I'm not finished yet.

If it works, can you tell me the way to play a playlist with JSON ?

I haven't found a way to open a playlist directly with JSON only to open files and put files in XBMCs internal playlist. I think you need to ask in the XBMC forum for a way, and I'll add it to the plugin if there's a way.

Ok, i found it, thanks.

So i installed 0.6..3e and now it seems to work better but i have this error message at EG start :

JSON-RPC event settings reset, please check.

This is the complete log:

Code: Select all

I'm surprised to see "HTTP API connected", i thought it was no longer available with frodo ? isn't it ?

, i often used

Code: Select all

PlayFile(filename;[playlist])

with http api.
Is ther another way to do the same thing without json ?

I posted on xbmc forum as you recommanded to me,
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?ti ... pid1356622

and someone reply to me:

Player.Open using the "file" property in the "item" parameter.

So i try it but i had an error message:

I had to change how the settings are stored when I added the events support, you just have to open the configuration for XBMC2 plugin check that the settings are right then save, then the error should be gone.

I'm surprised to see "HTTP API connected", i thought it was no longer available with frodo ? isn't it ?

The plugin just initializes the HTTPAPI support, it doesn't actually connect anywhere, so it doesn't know that it's not supported. I'm going to change that message.

Looks like JSONRPC.Player.Open can play a .xsp playlist, I tried other types and XBMC always tried to show the items in the list as pictures, so it seemed not to work.

Put this code in the JSONRPC.Player.Open action, changing the "Path\\Movies.xsp" to your file of course, the slashes need to be doubled or it wont work.

Code: Select all

[{"file":"Path\\Movies.xsp"}]
