Hey, I've cleaned your script up a little.

I've removed the redundant config checking code mostly. Both classes now wrap an Xbmc object, which serves as a universal class to build the configuration and check whether the XBMC instance can be reached.
I've refactored the config processing as well, and should be easier now.
I now also throws custom exceptions.

GitHub's GISTs don't show diffs by defaults, but there are userscripts to do this for you. Alternatively you can just use a decent diff program or get the GIST's git repository.

Oh... and I should note that this is completely untested, it may even have syntax errors Smile

Thanks.

It does have some errors, I haven't had time to correct them yet, I'm hoping to do that tomorrow.

I think I've figured out Subversion, too!

Cheers,

Kai.

Update - kaigoh - 2011-01-03

After a tip from alshain, I've decided to move the project to GitHub.

https://github.com/kaigoh/XBMC-PHP

I have also repaired a bug that will cause a JSON-RPC error, so please grab the new code from GitHub.

Cheers,

Kai.

Updated - kaigoh - 2011-01-03

Code updated.

Cheers,

Hi neus,

If you look at the code here:

PHP Code:
foreach($moviesRaw->movies as $movie) {
    //Removes "The" from the movies title, for sorting reasons.
    $title = str_replace("The ", "", $movie->label);
    $movies[$title]['id'] = $movie->movieid;
    $movies[$title]['title'] = $movie->label;
    $movies[$title]['filename'] = $movie->file;
    /*
    We need to check certain properties exist before referencing them,
    otherwise a notice will be generated by PHP due to a JSON-RPC error.
    */
    if(property_exists($movie, 'thumbnail'))
        $movies[$title]['thumbnail'] = $movie->thumbnail;
    if(property_exists($movie, 'fanart'))
        $movies[$title]['fanart'] = $movie->fanart;
} 

You can see we have a variable $moviesRaw->movies that contains all of the movies in your library. To reference a particular movie, you would call $movieRaw->movies[x] (where x is the array key), i.e. $movieRaw->movies[0] would show the first movie in your collection.

HTH,

Kai.

I wrote a simple wrapper for CodeIgniter aswell, if someone is interested. Just let me know here (it's on another computer).
