[ALL] WebServer, getcurrentlyplaying and New structure? - realjobe - 2011-02-22

Hi there. Using Dharma 10.0 on Win7_x64 with Zbox ID40. Great Set!

Currenty Xbmc's WebServer's query "getcurrentlyplaying" returns not so structured output like:
Code:
<li> epidsode: 1
<li> Show title: The pasific.
....
This is neat for visual side, but It's hard work to parse and extract spesific data.

Suggestion:
Can the output be like adding div tags like:

Code:
<div id="episode">1</div>
<div id="Show Title">The Pasific</div>
..

Then the data extracting would be MUCH easier for own purposes.
PHP extract with http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/
Code:
$article->find('div[id=hello]', 0)->plaintext;
thank you.

err, totally ignorant comment here I am sure, but shouldn't it be returning XML rather than html??

so

<episode>My Title</episode>
...etc?

Assuming you are talking about the http-api (not clear as the webserver features a webinterface, http-api and json rpc api) that interface is deprecated (as stated many times) and will not be altered/fixed/extended anymore. It should be completely replaced by the new json rpc api in the near future.
