OK, that's great to hear. Of course validation is always nice to have, so it's probably a good way to go. As long as the "future" comes before the final HTTP API removal, I'm all happy then Smile

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Guys,

New to this but I have XBMC on my laptop (windows XP) and have been testing JSON RPC commands using a TPC connection to port 9090 with Hercules. I have had success with most commands I have tested but can't get any of the "Input" commands to work.

Command e.g.
Code:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id": 3,"method":"Input.Home"}

Response
Code:
{
   "error" : {
      "code" : -32601,
      "message" : "Method not found."
   },
   "id" : 3,
   "jsonrpc" : "2.0"
}


Am I doing something wrong?


Cheers
Jason

What version of XBMC are you using? Looks like you are either using the latest stable Dharma release or a very old pre-eden nightly build. The Input methods have been added a few weeks ago and are therefore only available in latest pre-eden nightly builds.

Thanks for replying.

I am using 10.1 Dharma found here.

I'll try the latest build.


Cheers

Is there a way to get all possible elements of VideoLibrary.Fields.TVShow? They are not in the wiki.

Yes they are defined in the response from JSONRPC.Introspect. You can even try
Code:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.Introspect", "params": { "filter": { "id": "VideoLibrary.Fields.TVShow", "type": "type" } }, "id": 1 }
and you should get the schema specification for VideoLibrary.Fields.TVShow only.

- Romep - 2011-07-17 16:12

Oh, i didn't see them. Several remotes offer a banner list of all tv shows. Thumbnail and fanart are too large for a banner. Do i have to get them manually or were they just not downloaded by my scraper?

Can someone please give me an example of the parameters needed for "AudioLibrary.GetAlbumDetails" and "AudioLibrary.GetAlbums
"?

How do you know what the "Library.Id" is?

I have looked at the Introspect but I am struggling with it. Any help would great.

"Library.Id" is a custom type that is defined in the json schema returned by JSONRPC.Introspect as well. What you can do is execute
Code:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.Introspect", "params": { "filter": { "id": "Library.Id", "type": "type" } }, "id": 1 }
and you will only get the definition of "Library.Id". Basically "Library.Id" is a positive integer.

AudioLibrary.GetAlbums does not require any parameters but it can take the ID of an artist (retrieved through AudioLibrary.GetArtists) to only list the albums of a specific artist. AudioLibrary.GetAlbumDetails requires the ID of a specific album as a parameter.
