Well since you asked, any idea if show names can be used with this. ie "ncis" "O reilly factor" etc. and if the show name can take priority that would be the frosting on the cake!

next thing I'll tackle is the mi light, still waiting on the hardware

[fuqit2]

just noticed this the original script was eg.result = eg.plugins.XBMC2.JSONRPC(u'Player.GetItem', u"["+str(PlayerID)+",['title']]", False) this gives me the show title and channel. your script [item][title] doesn't give show title. what's the difference between the two?

[kgschlosser]

need you to copy and paste the event for me so that way i can read the whole payload to see if there is a key in there for the program title

the title is there you specified a specific want for the channel name and not the program title

so if the program title was in the event is is in the payload and i did preserve all that information with the new event that is triggered

so i just need that copy to identify the key

[kgschlosser]

and would you like a separate event to be triggered for specific show titles like the one for the channels?

or do you just want the event for the channel to have the show title in it?

[fuqit2]

here's what I get when I print eg.result
{u'item': {u'title': u'The Five', u'type': u'channel', u'id': 20, u'label': u'FNCHD/820'}}

separate events and I can tweak from that. THanks!!!

i will work from that but an eg.result could be different than the payload

all ya have to do is right lick on the originating event and copy it.


that will copy the prefix suffix and payload all together

[kgschlosser]

ok we have a slight mixup here

we are dealing with different events


in one picture you posted you show an event and it is for the channel and it's payload has in the key 'lable' and that is the channel name

another picture or example has an event and in the payload is 'title' for the name of the channel

and i am not running Kodi so i am not familiar with the data layout.

so what i need from you is.....

because it looks like you have an event for channel change and then another that is for when the actual show starts playing

the first only contains the channel data in the payload

the second has the channel data and the show data

but i do not know how these things are fired off

[fuqit2]

the one when show plays, I found that from the xbmc2 thread. That thread is really hard to follow as it jumps all over the place. Your script picks up on the channel change. All are working and although it probably won't be the most efficient way of doing it, I can use both of these to get what I'm after.

I have limited knowledge with python and learn more each day and am very grateful for your help.

[kgschlosser]

the one that i am using is specifically using the channel change and there for doesn't have the title of the show located in that event

i will do a wildcard for the onplay and we can see how that works

[kgschlosser]

will have to be in a little while tho i have to finish up this computer case i am building.

i need to get these computers back up and running
