Is it possible to use a script to change a specific addon setting,

I would like to map a key to enable disable an addon setting (on/off) the addon would be a service.

Thank's

Yep.

Code:

import xbmc
ADDONID = 'your addon id goes here'
query = xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.GetAddonDetails","id":1,"params":{"addonid":"%s", "properties": ["enabled"]}' % ADDONID)
if '"enabled":true' in query:
    xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.SetAddonEnabled","id":1,"params":{"addonid":"%s","enabled":false}}' % ADDONID)
else:
    xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.SetAddonEnabled","id":1,"params":{"addonid":"%s", "enabled":true}}' % ADDONID)

Thank's

I was going for setting of the addon, like username, password, server etc ...

I building a service that downloads and plays video from a company internal server, the service is built so that if, for any reason, no video is available a fallback video is played.

I need a way to pause the service (for maintenance, so that i can access xbmc gui) i was thinking of checking a setting like "service_paused" , during the service loop this setting would be checked and if true video player would stop.

Also the service manages client queues, i am using the tv remote to increase / decrease current client number, using a simple script mapped to the remote buttons but i would like to save current client number in case a reboot is needed .

I was look at xbmcaddon.Addon ('script.foo.bar')

Sorry for my English.

Again any help is much appreciated

Thanks for the info Karnagious.

Are the only areas that need to be amended in the code:

Code:

ADDONID = 'your addon id goes here'

&

Code:

"id":1

If so, I assume the id relates to the 'setting ID' in settings.xml, but can't seem to get the script to enable/disable as hoped.

no, the suggested code is to enable/disable an addon in its entirety.

while you in principle can do

Code:

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon('service.foo')
addon.setSetting('foo', 'bar')

this will only update the xml file, but it won't signal a running service.

I use a loop in my service script that check for a change in the settings

PHP Code:

import xbmc, xbmcgui, xbmcaddon;
addon = xbmcaddon.Addon("script.service.wedoiptv")

if addon.getSetting('servico_ativo') =="true"
    do stuff 


you can use this in other scripts called by your addon

If you have a service running you can create a Monitor which will announce when the settings change through the onSettingsChanged() method.

Code:

class LazyMonitor(xbmc.Monitor):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        xbmc.Monitor.__init__(self)


    def onSettingsChanged(self):
        <><>THIS is where you can run the code that updates the settings<><>
