Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[Phil]

If I try to add the JSONRPC Action I get this

11:22:53 XBMC2: Error opening: jsonrpc.dat
11:22:53 Traceback (most recent call last) (1722):

which presumably I need to be able to configure to update?

Damn, there seems to be something different in OpenELEC how JSONRPC works as it don't seem to support some basic methods like what version it is using. I'll have to wait with diagnosing this until I make a bigger change in the plugin.

What does work for you? Is the problem only notifications and JSONRPC?

I'll concentrate on detecting/connecting on Android for now, as your problem seem very different and I need to focus on one problem at the time.

All I'm trying to do at the moment is get that something is playing/ paused/ stopped to adjust the lighting accordingly. As far as I can tell I can send commands to openelec but its not something I really use so couldnt be 100% sure.


It's not worked reliably for the few previous versions of openelec so waiting some more is not a big issue! It just seems really weird that it works if eventghost is restarted for a few times then gives up.

It might be good to start a new thread for a big upgade of the plugin, this one is a nightmare for trying to find if others have had the same problems!

So it used to work when you used older OpenELEC versions?

It just seems really weird that it works if eventghost is restarted for a few times then gives up.

So it works sometimes, could you try to add the JSONRPC action when its working?

It might be good to start a new thread for a big upgade of the plugin, this one is a nightmare for trying to find if others have had the same problems!

If I do a bigger release I'll think about it, I have thought how to improve the thread but haven't been able to decide whats best.

So here┬┤s the new log:

13:22:45 XBMC2: Disconnected from XBMC, not receiving JSON-RPC notifications. (appears after killing kodi)
13:22:46 JSON-RPC connect error:
13:22:46 Traceback (most recent call last):

thanks.

Its a shame that child boards aren't used on this forum for the 'bigger' plugins.
But thats off topic for here (further junkng up the thread sorry!)

[jonib]

So here┬┤s the new log:

Thanks, I have done some testing on my android and I'm going to rebuild the notification and SSDP/UPnP (Kodi detection) code as its horrible. That hopefully makes it work better or at worst should make it easier to debug problems.

So it will most likely take a couple of days before I post a new test build, Thanks for the help in debugging.

Hi,
for when you get around to it, ive had chance for a bit more of a play and found this happens when the profile logs off

14:05:01 XBMC2: connection error:
14:05:01 Traceback (most recent call last):

The SSDP never detects anything it seems.
Hope this helps.

When you are not logged in Kodi many of the network stuff gets disabled, as I don't switch profiles I haven't looked at that. But I'll keep that in mind with the new version.

The SSDP never detects anything it seems.

That error is normal in debugging mode as it can't connect to Kodi, it starts the SSDP detection, of course the idea is to detect Kodi when available again.
While working on the new code I think the SSDP detection was working (mostly) fine but there is something funky when trying to connect to Kodi after it finds it, as in Kodi refuses the connection, don't know why yet, but my idea at the moment is I need to reset the network code somehow as restarting EventGhost fixes it but not just the plugin.

[tjabas]

really looking forward to the new verison

[jonib]

really looking forward to the new verison

Well here it is.

So this is a test version with new SSDP detection code, so that EventGhost can detect when Kodi/XBMC starts and connect to it and get events.

So it appears that when XBMC was renamed to Kodi, about the same time the SSDP/UPnP code got changed and my code stopped working fully.

For the last week I have been trying to make the detection code stable and work always, but it just seems to work sometimes, so I basically would like to know if this new code is better, then I can work more on it, but now I've had enough.

So anybody using events from Kodi/XBMC or wants it detected over the network please test and report back, and if there are problems activate the debug option and post the EventGhost log.

Cant wait for the working Day to end, Im really looking Forward to test it later today.

Thank alot

[Phil]

Excellent work!
It appear to be much more reliable with the system is back on after a log off, reboot etc

I did initially get some josn errors when I first activated it, but once Kodi was running these have stopped (unfortunately they are no longer on my log or I would let you see).

I'll see how it goes over the next week or so but it certainly looks better on initial texting.

thanks for your hard work.

Hi. I am getting an error. Using you latest change:

14:56:26 XBMC2: Error opening: actions.dat

What does it mean?

[tjabas]

sorry to say, but eventghost cant detect any events from kodi, here┬┤s the log:

i get an connection notification in kodi when i start the plugin in eventghost, but that┬┤s all.
