I'm probably posting in the wrong area, and my prior experience on these forums was rough (trolls love ripping on anyone who knows less than they do), but here goes. I'm trying to integrate xbmc into a control system. I have a driver that takes care of all the hard work, but I was hoping to be able to send an HTTP command to get xbmc to play a specific file. Found old http commands that don't seem to work in frodo, or maybe even eden. I just want to be able to tell xbmc, "play this file, located here". If anyone can simplify this I'd be grateful.

I don't know that I can simplify it necessarily, but I can at least get you pointed in the right direction.

1- There is a sub forum here for Python add-on development. While that isn't quite what you're doing, there are folks who could help you with...

2- JSON. That's the "replacement" for the old http commands. Not every http call has been duplicated, but many of them have. If you haven't use JSON before, it takes awhile to get used to the syntax. Here's the XBMC wiki page on JSON in Frodo.

Hope that helps.

P.S. You might see if you can get the moderators to move this to the forum I mentioned. Please don't repost your question there. We get cranky when folks post the same question in multiple forums.

Thread moved to Python Add-on Development, as suggested.

Hmm... you only posted one other time previously on these forums and you received three replies and none of them were from trolls ripping on you. Indeed, you never followed up with a response to the suggestions offered you there.

Svendale,

Can you provide a bit more detail about what you're trying to do.

At the moment, this post is within the Python Add-On forum but, on reading your post, it looks like you're trying to control XBMC from a separate program/computer. If that's the case then it's still very much achievable, but it would be useful to understand how you're hoping to implement it e.g. is this via a web page or some other script.

The more information you can provide (what you're trying to do, what you've done so far etc), the more easily we can help. Posting any code you've tried is also good.

There are some fantastically helpful people on the forum so I'd hope we can get you sorted quickly!
