Hi,

for users with a AVM Fritz Box or SpeedPort W500V Router and XBMC on Windows I'm currently putting together a small Tool wich automaticaly displays the Incoming CallerID / Name as Notice in your XBMC and pauses the current running Movie.

My new HTPC is a Windows based machine so I can`t use the old Linux tools anymore this was the reason why I started this Project. Mainly for myself but maybe somebody is interested in this tool too.

Currently there is only a Alpha Version which is basically my dev testing programm. If there is anybody interested in testing a pre Version to give me some feedback please leave me a note.

I put some first Screenshots (remember it'a a Alpha ver.) on my page. The Blog Post is in German but it basically have the same content as this Forum Post.

To the Pictures


Any feedback is appreciated.

I made the first version available for download and put together some information:

Version 2010-04-24

Too bad this doesn't run on XBMCLive. It would be a good feature.

this kind of script was available long ago.
(and on xbmc.de it is still available, i think)
nice to see, that there is someone who is interested in this kind of stuff, too.

the "old" script blocked the system when you tried to shutdown.
to get rid of that problem, i've modified my fritzbox with the callmonitor-script.
this is the content of my "listeners"

Code:

in:request ^ ^ wget "http://192.168.1.20:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Pause"
in:request ^ ^ xboxmessage 192.168.1.20:8080
out:request ^ ^032 wget "http://192.168.1.20:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayNext"
out:request ^ ^031 wget "http://192.168.1.20:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Pause"

it does 4 things:
- when someones calling, the player gets "paused".
- a popup appears on screen, which makes use of the xbmc-message function.
it shows the number and caller
- if you type "032" on the phone, you can skip the actual musik-track
- if you type "031" the system pauses or un-pauses the actual playing media

it is kind of a remote-controll which reaches 300 meters

i'll try your script.

Nice tool. However, did you think about making it an add on instead of an external tool. So it would be nicely integrated into xbmc and you dont have to load it seperately.

That would be so nice
