Getting movie or episode information about currently playing video

Question 
Hey,

Edit: [Solved] See next post

I had implemented some logic in trakt utilities (the plugin) that made use of the movieid and episodeid information provided in the jsonrpc announcements (specifically the 'NewPlayCount' announcement) but in the latest nightly this information was removed, now I can understand that the previous location was probably not the tight place for this information but where should I get the details or id of the video being played? I can accross xbmc.Player().getVideoInfoTag() but it doesn't seem to be working yet, is there another method I should be using?

old code at: https://github.com/othrayte/script.Trakt...service.py

Thanks,
Adrian (Othrayte)

Ok, so just to follow up, the nightly editions of eden (post 20110427) contain the required changes to the JSONRPC 'VideoPlaylist.GetItems' which now return the id and type of the item, very handy and the right thing to use.
