XBMC Notifier - sbrandsborg - 2008-06-25 Hello all you guys, First I would like to say thanks to all the developers working on XBMC, it’s without doubt the best media center I have come across. For some time I have thought about how cool it could be if XBMC did notify me every time I get an e-mail (that passes my spam filter of cause) and like when a download is finished (I use Ninan to grab files from Usenet) So I started programming a little very simple application that could send a notification command to XBMC with some information about that event just happened. For example ---------------------------------------- | Information! | New e-mail has arrived ---------------------------------------- Or ---------------------------------------- | Download completed! | XBMC for Windows ---------------------------------------- Are any of you guys interested in an application like that? Here are some screenshots of my application so far: - Rand Al Thor - 2008-06-25 Wow! That is very cool I am interested. I'm sure there will be lots of other people who are interested as well. Cheers. - Nick8888 - 2008-06-25 Cool. Have you thought about incorporating plugins so others can add support for other programs, functions etc. - sbrandsborg - 2008-06-25 I know that one can get the same features from installing a bunch on plug-ins into XBMC, but i wanted to create a application that is XBMC plug-in free, all it needs is the build in webserver. XBMC Notifier is looking in a defined folder on the computer’s hard drive, for *.msg files at an interval defined by the user, so it’s very dynamic, you can create simple bat files or complicated scripts that create those *.msg files, that it will pickup. The following example is a bat file that my server runs everytime a download starts in my usenet download manager “ninan” An example for at bat file: Code: @echo off So you see a notification can be created from a lot of difference applications and scripts. - Cimlite - 2008-06-25 sbrandsborg, cool idea. Could be very useful. Not to speak for Nick8888 but I think he meant plugins for your application, not XBMC. That would make it a lot more powerful, if you could just drop a plugin into it and have all IMs etc. show up on XBMC. You can do a lot via batch files but it really brings down the ease of use. - sbrandsborg - 2008-06-25 Yeah i have been thinking about that, it coud be very cool with some plug-ins for this application, but this first version will only contain the scripted version Im still thinking about what kind of notification i want when im watching a movie on XBMC, so i dont get spammed with notifications all the time Any suggestions? - Gamester17 - 2008-06-25 CallerID (automaticlly pause video playback and pop-up message on who is calling), modem hardware on computer required of course. http://forum.xbmc.org/search.php?searchid=1324210 Would it be possible to do this as an EventClient for XBMC's EventServer or python script so that it work be as a plugin in XBMC? http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=EventServer PS! If you checkout XBMC's EventServer then also checkout EventGhost which is a very similar concept. http://www.eventghost.org/wiki/EventGhost:About http://www.eventghost.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=894 |
