Registering to xbmc events - gkutiel - 2013-03-23
Hi
I'm totally new to xbmc add-on development (and also relativly new to python).
I managed to write an "hello world" add-on and it works fine.
I searched the documentation but couldn't find any reference to a way that my script can register itself to events (player start, libraray updated, play count changed, etc...)
Could anyone give me a reference to such mechanisim ?

p.s.
My add-on is a script that start on xbmc startup.

Thank you for the (extream) fast answer
So this might be a stupid question,
but in case I want to react to changes in the db then I need to extend the Monitor class (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs/xbmc.html#Monitor)
and implement the relevant methods ?

Yes but not sure if it will always trigger that event.
Just try and find out
