Popup Window with video stream

wphj1 · 2012-01-05 14:50

Hi there!

The guys from the windows forum "sent" me over with my problem
( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=118714 )

I have a doorcamera, which delievers a rtsp stream.
I have managed to play it on xbmc via a *.strm file.

Target:
Push a button on my ps3 remote -> popup with camera stream appears
Push the button again -> popup goes away

Can someone help a noob with the right lines of code (and an idiotproof howto where to put it).

thanx in advance!

Create an addon with a default.py an insert the following code:

Code:

import xbmc

url = 'Hier kommt der Link zu deinem Stream'

xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER).play(url)

Then you can map a button to your remote that launches the addon...
Pressing Stop will stop the stream...

cheers,

Ok, i´ve created a new folder in my addon collection

http://www.phj.at/xbmc/folder.jpg

Then i made a new default file with the editor

Since i want the letter "N" (which i assigned to the "Playstation" Button) to start the stream i have edited the keymap in the main install directory

But NOTHING happens.

Do i have to activate the new addon somewhere?
(its not listed in the "addon" section of the system settings)

Because you did not create an Addon...
You simply copied the py file in there...
There is no Addon.xml...

Now i created an addon.xml in the folder (adapted from another addon)

Still nothing happens

If i push the playstation button theres an error message in the right bottom corner.
Then i realised i wrote "C:\\Users" instead of "c:\\benutzer", but when i change it, nothing happens.

I tried to change it to "RunAddon" with the path to the addon.xml -> nothing happens (not even the error message)
