http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Codegeneration states that the python api is generated automatically from the c++ sources.

Does an online version of the generated python api source code exist (thankful for any pointers)?

Background: I'm trying to avoid compiling xbmc just to have a look at the generated python api code.

Thanks forr the reply. But I am looking for the generated python code, not the documentation under http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs/12.2-frodo/. Or did I miss something obvious?

Thanks for your reply. But I am looking for the generated python code, not the c++ code. Do you know where I can find this?

The generated code is useless outside xbmc.
The only way it has any use is if you are running xbmc itself

I understand this. But the PythonDoc only has this on

Player-onPlayBackEnded

Quote:onPlayBackEnded(...)
onPlayBackEnded() -- onPlayBackEnded method.

I would like to know how this 'callback'/'event' is implemented in python, since I've read that python doesn't actually have 'events' like for example c# has.

Can you point me to some example code which uses f.ex. 'onPlayBackEnd' (or other xbmc.Player().on* 'callback' methods) in a sensible manner?

I'm afraid, nowhere. These are the files you've asked for. XBMC Python modules are written in C++ and exposed to Python via C>Python API (SWIG).

Thanks for the example usage code! I will have a look at this.

Ah, thanks for pointing this out! I was not aware from the docs or the wiki that there is yet another abstraction layer between c and python (swig). I will have to look at swig then. Is this a good starting point: http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Python.html ?

Maybe if you explain what you want to accomplish, we could provide some pointers about if and how it can (or cannot) be done, without digging into C++ code.

Here is the original problem description: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=173639

Short version: Resume playback in audio files (similar to video files) does not seem to be supported.

Intended workflow for implementation:

-> create a new AudioBookPlayer, derived from the default xbmc Player
-> when AudioBookPlayer is stopped, paused, aborted, etc
---> save (1) the timestamp within the audio file and (2) the 'audio file id' (propably to a separate DB, since I couldn't find a suitable table/column in the default xbmc DB)
-> when AudioBookPlayer is started AND a file is selected from the "recently played" list
---> jump the the correct position in the audio file (similar to the video player behaviour)

Since I'm a c# and java developer, I figured the python api would be the preferred language for trying to implement this.
