onPlayBackStarted in service addon

nilzen · 2012-03-27 21:14

Can someone please point me in the right direction for listening to player events, onPlayBackStarted etc, in a service addon?

Code:

import xbmc

class PlayerEvents(xbmc.Player) :

    def onPlayBackStarted(self):

        xbmc.log("play")

player=PlayerEvents()

xbmc.log("init")

"init" gets logged but never "play", Python isn't my preferred language so I'm sure if there's a better way to subscribe to player events but I found some example code where they were listening to player event this way using the old autoexec.py

IIRC you need to have a while (!xbmc.abortRequested) or thereabouts there, otherwise your script completes immediately.

Yeah, you have to keep the script running by checking for a condition and then sleeping.
