I'm very much not a C++ coder, and wanted to add this entirely using python but have found that its not possible. I want this feature so I can use XBMC as a remote for XBMC. I want to do most of the heavy lifting (Zero Conf finding local peers, calling JSON RPC) in python, and return the list of XBMCs to xbmc-proper. When the button is clicked I'd like the URI to be passed down to the script to invoke Remote Play.
I'm thinking:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<contextmenu>
<additionalitemhandler>myscript.py</additionalitemhandler>
<!-- possibly someday also <additionalitemhandler>somebodyelsesscript.py</additionalitemhandler>-->
</contextmenu>
</advancedsettings>
I'd like someone more C literate to pair with me to implement this feature. Or to start a thread of "ooo I'd like that" which might draw attention from the core team to make this a first class citizen (as opposed to an addon) integrated into the GUI settings as a Service etc.
Thoughts very welcome.
Thanks,
Losty
