Hi, I'm trying to add a plugin:// validator to my program.

I want to check if the plugin is installed, then check if the provided "shortcut" to the plugin is valid...

So far I have:

Code:

def plugin_ok(self, plugin):
        self.PluginFound = False
        self.PluginVaild = False
        stream = plugin
        self.log("plugin stream = " + stream)
        id = plugin.split("/?")[0]
        id = id.split('//', 1)[-1]
        self.log("plugin id = " + id)
        try:
            xbmcaddon.Addon(id)
            self.PluginFound = True
        except Exception:
            self.PluginFound = False
        
        self.log("PluginFound = " + str(self.PluginFound))
        
        if self.PluginFound == True:
            try:
                json_query = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Files.GetDirectory", "params": {"directory": "%s", "media": "files"}, "id": "1"}' % ( self.escapeDirJSON(stream),)
                json_folder_detail = self.sendJSON(json_query)
               #####################
                self.PluginVaild = True        
            except Exception:
                self.PluginVaild = False

plugin = "plugin://plugin.video.jtv.archives/?url=&mode=2&name=military_history" <<arbitrary test link

I basically want to return a bool if this link is found...
everything works up till the json request, btw there is missing arguments for "sendJSON".
the command goes out but I'm stuck after that...
I'm not seeing a return from json to grab... i'm expecting to see "null" if found and error if not...

can someone help?
thanks...

70 Views... nothing

Is it my json command?

What would be the correct command query if a folder or link exists within a plugins folder?

The JSON-RPC request looks correct but I can't comment on the python code.
