So first are you using the actions from
XBMC2\Buttons\Remote? as those have different actions based on where you are in XBMC and can be changed in the
Keymaps\remote.xml.
sunny25a wrote:Well, this is not really a specific one. I just use different actions with one key. Let give you two examples:
- I have a key exit on my remote. During media playback it just stops the video. Only in HomeScreen XBMC closes. With the help of the keymap.xml I could easily do that.
You could use any button in
XBMC2\Buttons\Remote\ that you don't use and modify Keymaps\remote.xml for that button to do the same.
- I have an Info key on my remote. During media Playback the menu appears, on the home Screen the System Info appears, using it on a selected media, file the info for this appears.
A bit depending on the skin you use
XBMC2\Buttons\Remote\Info should work similar or again you can modify Keymaps\remote.xml to make it work exactly like you want.

Hoping someone could help... I would like eventghost to receive a trigger when a xbmc addon starts and stops...
I had it setup to receive broadcasts events and modified my addons to send start and stop triggers...
but this method isn't working in frodo... anyone know of an easy alternative?

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1562&start=570#p24845 has the links that work for me with Frodo RC2. I'll try RC3 soon, but I doubt there's much change.

I appreciate the links... Didn't really find any useful information. I'm currently already running the latest code for EG... and all httpapi support in xbmc was dropped.

As far as I have read the broadcast events are still available in Frodo it just can't be controlled right now, don't know what the plan is.
but this method isn't working in frodo... anyone know of an easy alternative?
You should be able to create events using the JSON notification:
JSONRPC.NotifyAll.

I just installed the latest XBMC: Frodo RC3 and using the latest plugin by jonib, I get all the proper events in the EventGhost. I think it uses JSON rather than HTTP now, but however it works, it works.

I understand it works, lol that's not what i'm asking...
Json isn't the same as Http, your receiving events because of the script jonb wrote
I'm looking for an easy way to use python to generate a event in EG... the old httpapi was easy to do... not sure about jsonrcp...
I was hoping someone knows of an easy way, otherwise I will have to look into it... I want to add eg events when a xbmc addons starts and stops... in the past I modified the xbmc addons to use httpapi event... but this isn't working for json...

Ah ok, sorry.

Ah, I see. What do you use those for?

Try the below code in a Python script in EventGhost to create a custom event from XBMC.
There's a bit more code than necessary, it's from my test program.
You might need to change the url to match your setup, then change the
"sender",
"message" and
"data" for the actual event. syntax for
JSONRPC.NotifyAll here
Code: Select all
import urllib2
import json
url = 'http://localhost:8080'
jsonrpcurl = url + '/jsonrpc'
postdata = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.NotifyAll", "params": {"sender":"Test", "message":"Testing", "data":"Any data"}, "id": "1"}'
request = urllib2.Request(jsonrpcurl, postdata)
request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
responce = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(request).read())
print responce
seems to be instructions how to send JSON from XBMC plugins

I had to reloaded my XBMC PC due to a Crucial m4 failure. I am not understanding what I am doing wrong. I installed EG 0.4.1r1610, then configuration, add plugin, XBMC2.
Then I loaded my backup XML file (gq3.xml) and I get unknown plugin XBMC2. I attached a screen cap and my XML file.

I resolved the problem, the GUID changed. Why does app need this since it has a name 'XBMC2'?

I guess it was added so two plugins that happen to have the same name wouldn't conflict as long as they have unique GUIDs.
