Although there are solutions available for this problem - none of them suit me and so I'm going to roll my own.
I am writing a console app that will run as a daemon. It's purpose is to detect when a DVD or Blu-ray is inserted an automatically rip it to my NAS using MakeMKV and Handbrake. All I want to be able to do is provide an onscreen notification in XBMC to tell the user what's happening. For instance, something like: "Ripping in progress" and then ""Rip complete". I'd like the notifications to be skin-compliant (i.e. look like the notifications you usually get in the top right-hand corner when scraping, etc).
I am running the stable (Eden) version of XBMC on Ubuntu 12.10.
Is there an API function that will achieve this that I can call from my daemon?
Many thanks,
