Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[MANswers]

Thanks for your reply. Finally someone is looking at my threads.. i thought i am an invisible banned member.
just kidding.
Yes i am using the correct test file per my version. Currently i am on this window. (please see attachment)

Using an example of one of the Playlist.. does the below syntax look good.. with all the double quotes, braces and cornered brackets and double slashes?
[{"file":"C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\playlists\\video\\Hollywood.xsp"}]

[MANswers]

Looks like my syntax is wrong...
I already got this error when i tried with the above commands... that i posted in this thread earlier.

Error:
{
"code": -32602,
"message": "Invalid params."
}

Almost on the edge, i guess i am very close.. please help.

So I used this:

Code: Select all

[{"file":"C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\playlists\\video\\Hollywood.xsp"}]

only changing the username, and I placed a file in that path (I keep my XBMC files on my D: drive). And it works.

I did get the same error you did before I changed the username, as I forgot to change it.

Howly cow, i hit a barrage of error messages when i hit test button.

Attached log file.. cannot paste here.. dont want to spam this thread with error msgs.

Ok, just an update here, It does take me to the playlist, but it also starts playing some random movie. I tried different playlists, and each time it took me to the corresponding playlist i added.. but instead of listing the movies, it starts playing something from that playlist.

I want the command to take me to the playlist page.. displaying all the movies thumnails

[MANswers]

Do you think the GetPlayList under Playlist is the right action for the playlist to be displayed, instead of playing the movies?

When i try that.. i get this.

XBMC2: JSONRPC: Playlist.GetPlaylists
Error:
{
"code": -32602,
"data": {
"message": "Too many parameters",
"method": "Playlist.GetPlaylists"
},
"message": "Invalid params."
}

I figured just before your post that you probably wanted to show the list and not play them all.

No I don't think so, I'm not sure but GUI.ActivateWindow seems like the best bet. but it's too late for me, so I have to give up for today(tomorrow?).

No Problems sure. Tomorrow be fine.

I got someone to reply at XBMC forum, and they mentioned something like this...

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method": "GUI.ActivateWindow", "params": { "window": "video", "parameters": [ "special://profile/playlists/video/FrenchMovies.xsp" ] }, "id": 1 }

I think this will need modification to be added to our plugin.. right?

Good call.

Just copy the "params" part and put it in:

Code: Select all

{ "window": "video", "parameters": [ "special://profile/playlists/video/FrenchMovies.xsp" ] }

I just tried and works great. (of course I changed to a playlist I have)

jonib, you are a genius bro!! This worked perfectly fine.
I can open all my 7 movie genre playlists through irule (remote application on ipad).

Quick question.. early morning when i googled to find the correct commands to inculcate with the GUI action.. i found this link..
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1465

Why hasnt the author mentioned to add the link location as you mentioned.. special://profile/playlists/video
I am trying to understand these command languages per the author.
I might have a few other questions as i configure more activities on the irule with various macros.. but let me try these on my own first.

You have a pm.

Great.

I guess it just accesses some function internal to XBMC that supports it, but it makes it hard to figure out the syntax for some of the JSON-RPC commands.

Sure.

Hey guys, i'm glad that i found this plug in. i've searched, so if i've missed the answer, please forgive me. i'm setting up the xbmc2 plug in and most of the actions work with the exception of the most important one for me...xbmc:start.

I'm sure that there must be an easy fix, any ideas? when i manually test the action, it shows up in the log, but nothing happens.

plug in version 0.6.9
eg 0.4.1.r1638
xbmc frodo

Do you mean "Buttons\Remote\Start"? If you are expecting it to start XBMC it wont do that (Don't remember what XBMC has it mapped to), to start XBMC from EventGhost you need to use the generic "Start Application" action.
