Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

Iplaycount': 1

When you export your library to separate files, an .nfo file is created with the playcount, or perhaps http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL might be of use?

Kodi Krypton

Use the stable release of 'Jarvis' instead?

Hi jonib,

I am getting errors on using json currently. Unfortunately I don't for how long. But I do know that nothing has changed for a very long time on my system regarding eg and kodi and that it worked nicely before.
This is the error I get:

As soon as I try to open the action in question eg will just stall and I will have to kill and restart it.
This is one of the macros out of the config:

Code: Select all

XBMC2.JSONRPC(u'Settings.GetSettingValue', u'{"setting": "audiooutput.passthrough"}', False, True)

It does happen for all other actions with SetSettingValue as well.

While checking the plugin I hit the update button and got this:

Maybe it's related?
The test button worked fine though.

This is the error I get:

That's the error for updating actions not related to JSON-RPC, I have unfortunately not fixed that. It will be fixed in the next release, but I have no idea when.

As soon as I try to open the action in question eg will just stall and I will have to kill and restart it.

Are you using the last version 0.6.33? as that sounds like a problem I fixed a while ago.

XBMC2.VideoLibrary.OnUpdate.episode {u'item': {u'id': 88408}, u'playcount': 1}

Does anybody know how to associate the episode id in this event with filenames for the watched media?

You need to use JSON-RPC method "VideoLibrary.GetEpisodeDetails" some examples here and here

If you need more ask again.

Thank you! I actually got it to work using SQL, but I was concerned about not being able to identify the correct .db file and appdata folder. The json is far easier and more reliable than what I was doing.

I'll post the script when I get it working.

[egbaud]

With the following parameter to VideoLibrary.GetEpisode

{ "filter": {"field": "playcount", "operator": "greaterthan", "value": "0"}}

I'm able to get a list of dicts containing the episodeid of all watched episodes. Now I'm trying to understand how to take that list of episodeids and trigger a VideoLibrary.GetEpisodeDetails for each one.

I know how to parse the json in that list in Python to get each episodeid, but I can't figure out how to pass that episodeid to a jsonrpc call to VideoLibrary.GetEpisodeDetails in Python.

UPDATE

Never mind. Looking at eg.plugins.XBMC2.jsonRPC calls now, as you pointed out in your original post.

Hi jonib,

You're right! I redownloaded that version and installed it again. It is working as it should now as before. Don't know exactly what happened. I had installed the eg 5 beta quite some time ago and might have forgotten to bring back xbmc2 plugin back to the latest version when going back to stable eg version. So, sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for your help!

Good.

So, sorry for the confusion!

Don't worry about it, It's mostly my fault as I haven't updated the version in EventGhost, as it's quite old now.

Hi!

Would it be possible to add a section for PVR Live Tv in XBMC2 plugin?
The latest versions of Kodi incorporate it yet in keyboard.xml.

For example it may be useful to separate actions between "ordinary" Fullscreen and FullscreenLiveTV.

Thanks!!

Would it be possible to add a section for PVR Live Tv in XBMC2 plugin?

Update to the latest ver 0.6.34 that fixed the "Update actions" button in the plugin config.
That will add any missing actions to "XBMC2\Actions\Manually Updated", is there anything else missing for PVR Live Tv?

Hello all. Anyone using xbmc2 plugin? I wonder how to enable subtitle search with a single key press. Any suggestions?

[eirik226]

I believe the easiest way is to let Kodi or XBMC do this, it should be able to automatically search for subtitles. Then you don't have to press anything at all

[jang430]

By doing that, I believe you don't have control whether it gets the right subtitle or not.

Hi All. I'm sure a lot are using Kodi. I'm using the XBMC2 plugin. I'm also using my Sharp remote, which is perfect. Someone on this forum showed me how to do it.

The problem is, I wanted to use the D-pad of the remote to control directions, up, down, left, right in Kodi. At the same time, I want to use the same D-pad to jump forward on the scene, while in fullscreen video, or backward.

I have the same button mapped in 2 actions in Kodi, one on up, down, left, right, another on jump forward, backward, small forward, small backward.

When playback in fullscreen, I pulled up the menu, to access buttons such as bookmark, download subtitle, play, pause (OSD), while selecting between icons of play, pause, stop, bookmark, using the same D-pad, it obviously also jumps forward, or backward, at the same time, performing the moving of pointer from left icon, to the right icon. I hope I make sense and you readers understand.

So I want to be able to use the D-pad in different situations and give different output results. When in fullscreen playback, I want it to jump forward, backward. With OSD Menu pulled up, I want to be able to move the selection cursor left, right, etc. How do I accomplish this in Kodi?

BTW, I think this is what you call CONTEXT SENSITIVE.

By doing that, I believe you don't have control whether it gets the right subtitle or not.

It should always try to get a subtitle in sync - so it should work. If not I imagine you have to bind the shortcut buttons kodi have to something in eventghost. EG: If you press right arrow on keyboard while on kodi it skips some seconds right? I imagine there would be a shortcut for subtitles as well, just bind that to something and do the same with up and down, then you can browse the subtitles.

If not there are a lot of automated downloaders for subtitles that does not depend on kodi or eventghost.
