Hello

First of all:
I do not use the internal python engine!
I can't use this for some reason.

Well, most of my script works, but now I want to add a detection for active recordings and timeshift.
I don't know if the timeshift detection is possible (I hope, anyone who knows that?) but I found the "PVR.GetProperties" command which should return me if it's recording or not (at least I have understand the manual that way).

But I can't get it working. I always get parser error response if I send the command / url.

Code:

# Retrives the playback details from XBNC for video
    def __GetRecordingState(self, BaseUrl):

        try:
            RawRsp = urllib2.urlopen(BaseUrl + '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"PVR.GetProperties","params":{"properties":["recording"]}')
            Response = json.load(RawRsp)
            print(Response)
            self.Recording = Response['result']['recording']
        except:
            print("Unexpected error: ", sys.exc_info()[0])
            pass    # Some serious error happened, ignore.
        #end try

    #end def

There must be something wrong with my query I think. Sad but true I haven't found any example for this method

Thanks in advance
