I implemented System.GetInfoLabels function.
Do you want me to send a patch?

If anyone's interested, i'm currently rewriting the library to work entirely asynchronous. Hope to get it done in a couple of days.

Many heartfelt thanks guys.. With all the time and effort you put into these developments, I can't say thank you enough.

Cheers!

Keep up the good work, i'm using it in some of my home automation projects Wink

Btw there is a bug in the GetRecentlyAddedEpisodes method:

Code:

if (query["movies"] != null)

{ 

       foreach (JObject item in (JArray)query["movies"])

       {

Change to

Code:

if (query["episodes"] != null)

{ 

       foreach (JObject item in (JArray)query["episodes"])

       {

Can I make a suggestion?

How about making every object that can be added to a playlist (i.e. Song, Movie, MusicVideo etc.) inherit a common interface/implement a common abstract class? I think at the least that Label is a common field among them all (maybe even a common ID field). That would allow you to do the following :

Code:

CommonPlayListItem pi;

            switch (currentDisplayMode)

            {

               case DisplayMode.AudioPlaying:

                  pi = mainConn.AudioPlaylist.GetCurrentItem();

                  break;

               case DisplayMode.PicturesPlaying:

                  pi = mainConn.PicturePlayer.GetCurrentItem();

                  break;

               case DisplayMode.VideoPlaying:

                  pi = mainConn.VideoPlaylist.GetCurrentItem();

                  break;

            }

            WriteToLCD(pi.Label);

Also... How about adding property changed notifiers? Then your library can also be used in MVVM Silverlight or WPF applications.

PM me so I can contribute.

EDIT: Don't think Mono supports INotifyPropertyChanged, so if you're aim is compatibility, ignore.

Also... How about adding a XbmcEventListener class, that opens a TCP port to the XBMC server's port 9090 to listen for notifications generated by XBMC?

If you don't need the .NET Micro Framework support you can check out my C# library which provides events derived from notifications: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcjsonsharp/

Cheers for the suggestion, just added abstract XbmcMediaItem class which all other media items inherit from, it contains Id and Label.

Have also started adding Event Listener class. I'm purely working on the async fork as this type of thing just isn't well suited to synchronous I/O. Will commit async fork soon, if you'd like to use the changes in the current sync project you'll have to copy them over sorry.

Have just committed the async lib @ http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-json/ under trunk/xbmc-json-async

It also has code in there for virtual remote and the event listener (Have only added 3 events so far but adding more is super simple).

There's also a little test client included in the project that shows the basics of using everything asynchronously.
