Hello all,

I thought that i would share a little script that i made that will allow you to send emails from XBMC using python.

It's only a small script but it works perfectly for me!

Here is the python script that will send the emails :

PHP Code:
import smtplib
 
to = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(EmailTo)]' )
gmail_user = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyEmail)]' )
gmail_pwd = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyPassword)]' )
msg = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyMessage)]' )
sub = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MySubject)]' )
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo
smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
header = 'To:' + to + '\n' + 'From: ' + gmail_user + '\n' + 'Subject:' + sub + '\n'
print header
msg = header + '\n' + msg + '\n\n'
smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg)
print 'done!'
smtpserver.close() 

And here is how you set your email address that you will send it from :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(MyEmail) 

And your password :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(MyPassword) 

When sending an email you can input the email address by using :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(EmailTo) 

For the email's subject you can use

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(MySubject) 

And as for the actual message you can just use :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(MyMessage) 

Feel free to change anything around and integrate this in to any of your plugins/skins or whatever Smile

I have recently changed around some of the things in there so that it will now work with any email address.

Here is the script for anyone that is interested :

PHP Code:
import smtplib
 
to = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(EmailTo)]' )
gmail_user = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyEmail)]' )
gmail_pwd = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyPassword)]' )
msg = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MyMessage)]' )
sub = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(MySubject)]' )
server = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(EmailServer)]' )
port = xbmc.getInfoLabel( '$INFO[Skin.string(ServerPort)]' )
smtpserver = smtplib.SMTP(server,port)
smtpserver.ehlo()
smtpserver.starttls()
smtpserver.ehlo
smtpserver.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)
header = 'To:' + to + '\n' + 'From: ' + gmail_user + '\n' + 'Subject:' + sub + '\n'
print header
msg = header + '\n' + msg + '\n\n'
smtpserver.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg)
print 'done!'
smtpserver.close() 

And to set the email type and port just use :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(ServerPort, PORT)
Skin.SetString(EmailServer, SERVER) 

But change around the PORT and SERVER to what you want.

For example to use Hotmail you could use :

PHP Code:
Skin.SetString(ServerPort, 25)
Skin.SetString(EmailServer, smtp.live.com)

Can this script also be used as standalone?
For example I use msmtp to send mail. On openelec there is no 'mail sender' included so it can not be used.

My script does the html and then uses msmtp to send mail. How would it be possible to use your script to replace msmtp?

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Send mail when download finished

FROMNAME="Linksys E3000 Router"

torrent_name="$TR_TORRENT_NAME"

torrent_version="$TR_APP_VERSION"



echo MIME-Version: 1.0 >/tmp/tmail.html

echo Content-Type: text/html >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "Subject: "$TR_TORRENT_NAME" Downloaded" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "From: \\"$FROMNAME\\"<$FROM>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "Date: `date -R`" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<html>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<head><title></title>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "</head>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<p>Transmission v"$torrent_version" finished downloading:</p>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<p><b>"$TR_TORRENT_NAME"<b></p>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<p>on `date +\%d/\%m/\%Y` at `date +\%T`</p>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<p>From Linksys E3000 Router.</p>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "<a href="http://bite-in.com/siol/transmission_icon.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://bite-in.com/siol/transmission_icon.png" border="0" alt="Image hosted by Bite-in.com"></a>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "</body>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

echo "</html>" >>/tmp/tmail.html

cat /tmp/tmail.html | msmtp -a default [email protected]

rm /tmp/tmail.html

Would be ideal,if you could provide somewhat more information on how and where to apply these settings in XBMC
