Hi,
I've written a basic script to create video playlist files based on external IMDB movie lists and to create a Stand-up genre based on Wikipedia scrapes. Frodo introduces the possibility to tag video files but I can only find JSON RPC API details. This means I can tag the video files and let people make their own playlists, instead of breaking out into the file system - making the script much more reliable and portable. How do we set this new tag using our builtin python functions?

by using JSON RPC from python.

Simple enough - thanks Martijn.

For those on the same path this link appears to be a good way to get going using JSON RPC from python:

If you are accessing JSON RPC internally(from a script to XBMC) you just need to import the xbmc module and use xbmc.executeJSONRPC( query )
