Can I play a video from terminal on xbmc?
#1
Hi tehere!

I need to play a video on the raspberry pi, but this must be slave or another device, that send a message to the GPIO of the raspberry pi. I need to play a determinated video when the raspberry pi receive the message on its GPIO. I tryed whit raspbian pnly, but the quality is very poor, and i need an HD, so I started to use XBMC (running on raspbmc and xbian) that offer a high quality. I have not could to play the video from the console (SSH) neither found any information about this.

Can anyone help me?
is there any way of play a video with a script that reads the GPIO?

Regards

PD:Excuse my english Blush

I have not looked at it, it's great. I control XBMC trough http, but it is to har to implement an http client on an arduino (this must be the controller), so, where can I find information about phyton transport, maybe this one is simpler that http transport. Or what any other way to control the play of a video on xbmc with an arduino.

I used an arduino, because it is an dmx512 slave device, then it receive the frame trough dmx, and it must be play a video on xbmc (implement on raspberry pi).

Tahnk you for your help.

Well, I already could control xbmc from an arduino, using the ethernet library of this one and analyzing the frames that my pc sent to xbmc with wireShark, one last question, where can i find information about the xbmc json-rpc server methods, I want to know which method i can used and its syntax.
