Calling a script after playback of video file - AndreMiller - 2010-09-26

Hi there,

I'm the author of a python based media management application called MediaNav ( http://code.google.com/p/medianav/ ) and I'm looking to see if I can use XBMC as an alternative frontend.

Using a custom scraper I can get all the meta-data from MediaNav, but I would also like to send a message to MediaNav when a video file is finished playing so it can update the 'watched' status in it's database.

Is there a way to trigger running a script, or opening a URL after playback of a video file is completed in XBMC?

Or, if that is not possible, some other way I get the 'watched' status of videofiles out of XBMC?
