Montellese Wrote:Hm I tried playing a view movies and executed your jsonrpc request and the returned fanart path was always correct. Does this problem occur with every video you play?

jasonvp Wrote:This is for TV Shows. I only have one Show in XBMC at the moment just to make it easier to test things.

When I use "VideoLibrary.GetTVShows", "VideoLibrary.GetTVShowDetails" and "VideoLibrary.GetSeasons" for Fanart I get "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/307790e7.tbn" for all of them which is correct but when use "Playlist.GetItems" and "Player.GetItem" I get "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/9e82215b.tbn" which does not exist. "Thumbnails/Video/9/auto-9e82215b.tbn" does exist but this is the Thumbnail.

I also deleted the .tbn files and downloaded them again but the same thing happens.

mad-max Wrote:Hey guys,

im struggling with the JSON stuff...basically I wanted an addon that queues the selected audio file and then make a skip to the next track...
I found the appropriate commands in the wiki, but have no clue how to structure my addon...

here is the original thread in the python section:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112742

would be great if somebody could take a look and give me a hint how to do syntax and stuff...

Montellese Wrote:As I don't have any clue about python coding I'm not sure what you are after. I can only provide help when it comes down to what you can do with jsonrpc and how you can do it best/easiest. Btw beware, the current documentation on the wiki is outdated and many methods have been moved/renamed. I'll try to update it ASAP.

mad-max Wrote:Thanks for taking time montelesse...yes, maybe you can help me interpreting the error message i'm getting while using the JSON-RPC...

My Code:

Code:

import xbmc

AddToPlaylist = xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioPlaylist.Add", "id": 1, "params": {"item": {"songid": 7}}}')

if AddToPlaylist["result"] == "OK":
  xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioPlaylist.SkipNext", "id": 1}')

And the error:

Code:

21:04:09 T:2504  NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--
21:04:09 T:2504   ERROR: Error Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>

thanks for your help...

Montellese Wrote:Like I said the jsonrpc documentation on the xbmc wiki is heavily outdated. What version of XBMC are you using? In the latest nightly builds there is no "AudioPlaylist" anymore. But as soon as I know what version (Dharma 10.0/10.1 or pre-eden (ideally with the git commit hash) of XBMC you are using I can provide more detailed information.

Best way to get a full documentation is to call JSONRPC.Introspect. That will return a list of all available methods, their parameters and what they return.

Montellese Wrote:Ah that stupid fanart at episode level problem again. This is a more or less known problem. The reason why it happens is that there is no fanart at episode level but only at tv show level so if someone requests fanart for an episode we have to do some extra work to retrieve it. It didn't work at the beginning, then it was partly fixed but it still doesn't work 100%. Best way to get the fanart for an episode is to retrieve the "tvshowid" property and then query VideoLibrary.GetTVShowDetails() with that "tvshowid" to retrieve the fanart.

jimk72 Wrote:Im implementing json control im my touchscreen remote program I am building and I have no means of returning json at this moment am only implementing sending commands using tcp port 9090. Is there any where in my install that I may find a list of current commands for the build I am using(oct 20). Or is there a post I can put into IE that will return the list?
Or is there any return from tcp/udp transfers on a certain port I can look for or is the returns http only at this time?

I have been so frustrated trying to implement this and then I realised I had 5 diff builds on my various pcs and mediaplayers. All up to date at this point

Mizaki Wrote:Player.Open returns "ok" even if a file fails to play. I not sure if and where this should have failed.

Mizaki Wrote:I moved an album. It's still in my library (not cleaned yet). I can add it to a playlist (same as in the GUI) but if I try to play it in the GUI I get an error.

So, should I be able to add it to the playlist and should player.open return an okay result?

carmenm Wrote:Hi,
I have updated my xbmc to the latest build and now a request like that
{"method":"Player.GetActivePlayers","id":"1","jsonrpc":"2.0","params":[]}
give me back a json object with an empty result.

What i am doing wrong?

Montellese Wrote:Do you have a player running? Since the Player rewrite I made a few weeks ago Player.GetActivePlayers returns an array of active players and as long as you don't have any active players that array is obviously empty. Please check the method definition in JSONRPC.Introspect to see how it works now.
