Hmm... It returns also Invalid Parameter for directories which contain valid images (used to create a slideshow with pictures).
Could it be that a few months back the Playlist.Add has been working in a recursive mode? I feel so certain that this has been working when I implemented the Files stuff in my client...
Thanks

The only place where you get recursive behaviour in JSON-RPC is if you provide the "recursive" parameter in Player.Open for slideshows.
Hm the picture/slideshow handling in the Playlist namespace is a bit of a hack because XBMC handles slideshows completely different than video or audio playlists. Furthermore there's no picture database as there is for audio and video so it might be that JSON-RPC behaves a little different when it comes to pictures/images in the Playlist namespace.

I think I may have uncovered a JSON bug
if I want to play a video file named XYZ.JPG i send the command
Code:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.Add","params": {"playlistid": 1, "item": {"file" : "smb://homestorage/XYZ.JPG"}}, "id": 1}But if I try to play the following Top Gear episode that contains a "ü" in the filename it fails.
Code:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.Add","params": {"playlistid": 1, "item": {"file" : "smb://homestorage/Array2/Movies/RSS/Top Gear/Season 06/Top Gear - 6x07 - Ford Transit at Nürburgring.avi"}}, "id": 1}tried this next to see if I could escape the "ü"
Code:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.Add","params": {"playlistid": 1, "item": {"file" : "smb://homestorage/Array2/Movies/RSS/Top Gear/Season 06/Top Gear - 6x07 - Ford Transit at N\ürburgring.avi"}}, "id": 1}also doesn't work, however renaming the file to remove the "ü" and it works.
I have also recreated this on a few other files containing similar characters.
"Top Gear - 7x04 - £10.mpg"
"¡Rob! - 1x01 - Pilot.mpg"
Thoughts?

I think you should unicode your filename :
Code:
filename = unicode("smb://homestorage/Array2/Movies/RSS/Top Gear/Season 06/Top Gear - 6x07 - Ford Transit at Nürburgring.avi", 'utf-8', errors='ignore')RE: JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call) interface protocol in development for XBMC - Montellese - 2012-03-20 09:40
As mikebzh44 JSON-RPC is completely UTF-8 based so that's what you should send.
RE: JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call) interface protocol in development for XBMC - mzanetti - 2012-03-21 00:08
While it is true that escaping/encoding the filenames properly leads mostly to success, I also have noticed some strange behavior if the files are located on a mounted share which uses a different encoding that then the machine xbmc runs on. For example I had issues that local files (on the xbmc host) with special characters have been working but remote ones (on a mounted share) not. After UTF-8 encoding my commands I only could open the remote ones, but not the local ones any more.
I have also reported a bug for this back then: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11634
@grifter: It might help if you add your findings there so we might can see a pattern which makes it easier to find the issue.

Thanks to Mzanetti, Montellese and Mikebzh44, UTF-8 did the trick!
@mzanetti, I have re-tested the 3 files I have, loading them off of a Windows UNC path from an Apple TV running XBMC and they all work fine. I will try moving small files with the same filenames local to the Apple TV and test again. I also have a few windows XBMC machines kicking around the house I can test. If I find any problems I will post them to http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11634
Thanks again to all that replied.

Hello. First, sorry for my poor english.
I´m thinking to make a app for iPhone/iPad, where you navigate for internet with a embebbed browser... when the app detect a video´s link in current web page, let to the user to send the url to XBMC (I don´t want airplay).
Besides the url I want to send the session (cookie header) too for autenthication sites (XBMC should be in the same intranet), it´s possible to do it with current api? or maybe I need to make a plugin first?
Thanks

You can send any URL to XBMC through Player.Open using the "file" property of the "item" parameter
Code:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method:" Player.Open", "params": { "item": { "file": "http://www.xyz.com/foo?bar" } }, "id": 1 }RE: JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call) interface protocol in development for XBMC - Juan_Garcia - 2012-03-22 16:50
I see thank you.
Do you think this will be supported in the future?
