An idea would be to use this behaviour but to add an additional parameter to the notifications letting clients know whether the input is a virtual keyboard dialog (in which case the user of the client will most likely want to see the keyboard on the client as well) or not (in which case the user might not want to see the keyboard on the client as he may just be navigating around and had to go through an edit control).

Another approach might be to not send an OnInputRequested/OnInputFinished notification when going from an edit control to the virtual keyboard dialog. That way the client will be able to show the virtual keyboard from the moment the edit control is focused, throughout the time where the virtual keyboard dialog is opened and closed until the user leaves the edit control. The problem with this approach is, is that the "done" parameter of Input.SendText becomes a bit unintuitive as focus will still be on the edit control.

I'm getting the following error back:
{"error":{"code":-32602,"data":{"method":"GUI.ActivateWindow","stack":{"message":"array element at index 0 does not match","name":"parameters","property":{"message":"Invalid type integer received","type":"string"},"type":"array"}},"message":"Invalid params."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Which is king of suggesting the array elements aren't OK. Am I close here, or is this really unsupported and I'm going to have to wait till post frodo?

But only a flag is not enough, you also want to know the current text in the control if a control or virtual keyboard is currently present. Otherwise you'll bluntly override any text that's already there, which is not very user friendly.

Actually Tolriq has a good point; when I think about it, what if you have opened a virtual keyboard with a simple remote, say a normal remote cotrol, or you're Apple remote, whatever one that doesn't have a keyboard. Then you grab your remote app which does have a keyboard, to edit the text in the virtual keyboard you just opened. So you connect to XBMC, and try to edit the text and all the text in there will be erased at the first call of SendText, because you didn't get an OnInputRequested because the virtual keyboard was already open. Or do you?

I found the problem. When i use VideoLibrary.SetMovieDetails for playcount = 0 this take at least 7 seconds for each movie, if i make any call before this time i get a error in the streamdetails.
So, this is normal ? Take 7 or 12 seconds to set the playcount for each movie ? I am using the Frodo Beta 1.
Thanks
