Is it possible control dreambox plugin (tuxbox) with JSON

jimk72 Wrote:Im starting to work on the playlist part of my program and noticed the result does not give you a limits like most other results. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this. Just trying to figure out how many playlists there are. Or do I have to call a diff method that will tell me how many playlists there are.

Thanks in advanced!

After messing with this I realized that it always returns only those three playlist ids. I am trying to access the playlists created by the user and the name of said playlist.

After researching I found the playlist only access the current players que. I see no JSON in the rpc that will access these. am I right to gather these are not accessable?

othrayte Wrote:I have been using the JSONRPC.NotifyAll method recently, and it has been working fine but I've just tried to use it to pass data and the only thing that it is passing is a string representation of the basic types; ie a string is passed as a string, a number is passed as a string but more complex types like dictionaries, list and tuples are passed as empty strings. In the .json file it specifies that 'data' can be of type 'any'. Should I be able to pass the more complex types and why are the numbers converted to strings?

The example I'm trying is:

Code:

{"params": {"message": "TraktUtilities.View", "data": {"window": "watchlistMovies"}, "sender": "TraktUtilities"}, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.NotifyAll", "id": 1}

I've got a small question about Player.Open.
What is the real way to use it ?

For the moment for audio albums for example i build playlist then I send a simple :


But in XBMC logs it generates lots of warning :


Do i really need to pass all those args ? What value should i use for them then ?

Reading more the logs during writing it seems perhaps the warning are generated by :


But the question remain

Bug?
When i use Playlist.Swap and the position of the currently playing item changes, Player.getProperties doesn't reflect the changes afterwards.

Example:
Currently playing item 2 of playlist 0.
Now i swap item 1 and 2.
The item formerly known as item 2 continues to play, but is now on position 1.
But Player.getProperties will still return position 2.
This goes as far that even the music playlist on XBMCs screen reflects the swap, but highlights the wrong track.

jasonvp Wrote:I'm trying to use "Playlist.Swap" (in a similar way to "Move item" in the Context Menu) to move the currently playing song to another position. The problem is if say the currently playing song is at "position:6" and is moved to "position:0" the song moves correctly but the Playlist Position stays the same i.e. "position:6" instead of "position:0" (this is true in the GUI and "Player.GetProperties" results) so the next song to play is "position:7" instead of "position:1".

The reason I use this is because when a Playlist is active and I use "Player.Shuffle" I want the currently playing song to go to "position":0 like it should.

Is this a bug or should there be a "Playlist.MoveItem" method added as well?

replenish Wrote:Hi All,

Currently running an XBMC nightly build (specifically xbmc-20111110-26cc297-master-i386) to try and build a webinterface plugin using the new JSON-RPC API.

I appear to be having an issue with the VideoLibrary.GetSeasons method call.

In the result set I expect an array of seasons which contains properties specified for Video.Details.Season in the API but I only ever seem to get an array of seasons containing the seasons labels and no other properties.

Is the JSON-RPC API fully implemented in the nightly builds yet or am I missing something?

Cheers.

Yes you are right, these are not accessible yet because you wouldn't be able to do anything with them. The Playlist namespace is responsible for loaded playlists only and user-generated playlists like Smartplaylists aren't loaded by default. In the future there will be VideoLibrary.GetPlaylists and AudioLibrary.GetPlaylists and a method in the Playlist namespace to load these playlists but currently that's not possible.

RedsGT Wrote:I'm currently trying to replace some HTTP API code with JSON-RPC. Right now the code uses 'QueryVideoDatabase' to get the directory(s) of a tv show based on it's title and then used 'XBMC.updatelibrary(video, <directory>)' to initiate a library update based solely on that directory(s).

1. I've been trying to replicate this using ' VideoLibrary.GetTVShows', the problem being there is no way currently to filter the shows based on the various 'Video.Fields.TVShow' fields. Is asking for filter capability on this method a worthwhile feature request, or is there a better way to go about doing this (like just filtering client side)?

2. With 'XBMC.updatelibrary' from the HTTP API, I could update a single shows directory(s). Would it be a worthwhile feature request to ask for this functionality to be built into 'VideoLibrary.Scan'?
