Hi all,

I need to read values of two XBMC/Kodi options controlled by the user via the Settings / Video / Subtitles GUI:

- Custom subtitle download destination toggle status (as opposed to simply saving it next to the video file)
- Custom subtitle download destination path in case the above option is active.

from the Python code of a subltitles service add-on.

Question is: Is there any Python API that allows me to do that?

My (Google, Wiki) searchs didn't find anything useful.

I only need to read, not modify these settings values.

TIA for any pointer.

dude no one helps people here soz hope someone does but i never got any

you can using JSON-RPC

Thanks Martijn.

Went with somethiong like this:

Code:
from json import loads

import xbmc

def _subtitles_setting(name):

    """

    Uses XBMC/Kodi JSON-RPC API to retrieve subtitles location settings values.

    """

    command = '''{

    "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "id": 1,

    "method": "Settings.GetSettingValue",

    "params": {

        "setting": "subtitles.%s"

    }

}'''

    result = xbmc.executeJSONRPC(command % name)

    py = loads(result)

    if 'result' in py and 'value' in py['result']:

        return py['result']['value']

    else:

        raise ValueError

Is there any documentation for this? The Wiki docs regarding Kodi JSON-RPC seem outdated.

yes, it needs to be updated. But it's always a good idea to use the introspect function which gives the the most recent documentation: http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v3#JS...Introspect
