hi,

Is it possible via Json to put video in full screen or window inside template (like "tab" button)??

- Montellese - 2012-02-28 15:57

Currently not but I have already done the necessary coding for a GUI.SetFullscreen() method which will be available after Eden has been released.

thxfor quick reply Wink

Determining if library is being scanned - tack - 2012-02-28 17:38

In Dharma, I was able to detect if XBMC was scanning the library by using the System.GetInfoBooleans method with params ["library.isscanning"]. I see that in Eden the method is now XBMC.GetInfoBooleans, but it's not accepting library.isscanning. It comes back with an "invalid type string received" error:

Code:
{"params": ["library.isscanning"], "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "XBMC.GetInfoBooleans", "id": 1}
{"error":{"code":-32602,"data":{"method":"XBMC.GetInfoBooleans","stack":{"message":"Invalid type string received","name":"booleans","type":"array"}},"message":"Invalid params."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

It's not clear to me what the proper parameters should be now. Can someone point me in the right direction? Or perhaps with Eden there is a better way to determine if it's currently scanning the library?

Thanks!

Please take a look at the documentation in the wiki or at the output of JSONRPC.Introspect. It's very clearly written that the "params" object/array needs to contain an array of strings (named "booleans" in case you use parameters-by-name): http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/v4#XBMC.GetInfoBooleans

So you're request needs to be
Code:
{"params": { "booleans": ["library.isscanning"] }, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "XBMC.GetInfoBooleans", "id": 1}

Thanks Montellese. I should have expanded the JSON schema description where this is very clear. I didn't pay proper attention to the description of the interface changes.

In any case, the "JSON RPC: Important changes" thread says that XBMC.GetInfoBooleans is considered deprecated. Is there a non-deprecated way at this time to determine if the library is currently being scanned?

Thanks again.

- Montellese - 2012-02-28 21:11

No there isn't.

- tack - 2012-02-28 21:29

All right. While I have you, in case it's not already on your to-do list, I thought I'd mention that there are two things that keep me using the deprecated HTTP API which (from what I can tell) the JSON-RPC doesn't support yet:

1. XBMC.Notification via ExecBuiltIn
2. XBMC.updatelibrary via ExecBuiltIn -- I understand there is VideoLibrary.Scan, but I need the ability to specify a sub-path, whereas VideoLibrary.Scan does a full library scan.

Not urgent while the HTTP API exists, but I'd certainly not want the HTTP API to vanish before the JSON API exposes at least this functionality. Smile

I have already implemented both methods/changes, they are just waiting for Eden to get out of the door Wink

Hi,

Little bug for Json PVR. Can't use it when some OSD is present. Working very well when i'm in full screen (not when i m in PVR screen ,EPG, or when tv video is in miniature when you are in home page...)

Thx
