hi

i was wondering if it's possible to send a dialog notification to all 3 of my xbmc machines at once.

From my linux server i can send via terminal.
wget -q "http://xbmc:[email protected]:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(Notification(Test,1234,30000))"

Which works great, just like to know if there's a way to send it to every machine at the same time.

Thanks

You can run commands via ssh.

Perhaps a script to login in each and repeat same command via ssh would work?

python is one of your option.

PHP Code:

from urllib import urlopen

# User preferences
title = 'Test'
message = '12345'
time = 30000

username = ''
password = ''

machines = ['192.168.2.5:8080',
            'localhost:8080',
            '192.168.1.125:8080']

# Code
query = 'xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(Notification(%s, %s, %d))' % (title, message, time)

for machine in machines:
  if username and password != '':
    url = 'http://%s:%s@%s/%s' % (username, password, machine, query)
  else:
    url = 'http://%s/%s' % (machine, query)
  urlopen(url)

Thanks for the replies

I think for the mo i'm gonna go with a bash script.

coding python is something i've still got to get my head round.

Is this now depreciated?
It seems as though the Notification part of HTTPAPI may still be in Eden Beta 3.

Entering -
http://XBMCIP:PORT/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?com...nformation!)

Still gets an " * OK " response from XBMC, although nothing seems to display on the screen.

Will it be dropped completely when Eden's released and will there be an alternative solution?

The HTTP API is still in Eden.

I don't know if there is a firm date for dropping it. My preference is to keep the HTTP API indefinitely as I find it very useful.
