Little bit of dev help - Bronston - 2013-12-17
I'm trying to code an add-on that will output the aspect ratio of a video over udp as soon as the user starts a video, possibly with a slight delay before the video starts. Can someone point me in the right direction please? It will be talking to an ardunio from there.
Thanks
Bronston

I guess it doesn't have to be UDP, it could output just about any way and I can take it from there.

Download a similar addon to get started - basically you need a listener that listens for play events, grab the appropriate info you need (e.g. via xbmc's json interface) - then send it out to your arduino however you like.
This is a relatively simply service addon that should prove a decent template:
