JSON-RPC (JSON Remote Procedure Call) interface protocol in development for XBMC

I see there are some PRs which look good. I didn't see anything about playlists. Is that still on your radar?

The other thing (which I'll make a feature request for if you think it's doable) is getting the library in small chunks (5, 10 etc. items). As I've mentioned before people with low(er) powered PCs with large libraries can take a long (I'm guessing 15 seconds +) time to retrieve. I guess the DB query is the thing that takes the time so the only way to grab small chunks would be without sorting. Without sorting though it does limit how useful it would be.

I'm wondering if you think it's even possible atm?

Hi all,
there a remote procedure call to obtain what user has chosen for the "Ignore article when sorting"?

Settings>Appearance>File Lists>Ignore article when sorting (e.g. "the") : ON/OFF

Hi there,
is it by design that VideoLibrary.getEpisodes prepends season and episode number in the label?
For example, GoTs awesome first episode of season two is labeled "The North Remembers", but using JSON i get "label": "2x01. The North Remembers".
Which looks pretty odd in listings because my application does its own numbering.
I've check my databse: This isn't a scraper issue. Episode names in the database are clear.

Nearly forgot:

Yes, that's by design. Use the title field if you don't want it. The label field is an aggregate field that XBMC sets to a sensible default.

Montellese, are you planning on including thumbnail/fanart params to your FooLibrary.Set pull request? If so, are you also planning on making the remote images stored in the database available thru jsonrpc?

Also, while on the subject. I have been unable to change a movie set. I can only append, is there a way to replace or remove? Its quite possible im just doing something wrong, im fairly new to coding.

Hi All,

I'm using Playlist.GetItems to pull down the currently queued songs. This is working fine. I just tried doing a similar thing to get a list of queued movies. This also works, but I don't seem to be able to include the "movieid" value in the list. Is there a way to obtain a list of queued movies and their corresponding Library id?

Thanks,
Matt.

Hi,
As well as MusicLibrary.GetAlbums where you can filter by artistid or genreid, there is a way to filter by genreid or actorid (castid?) when calling VideoLibrary.GetMovies or VideoLibrary.GetTVShows? Thank you for any answer.

thanks for the link, so we just have patience

Yep. I was going to try and do it manually for movies but I did other things instead
