Hi All,
I've recently begun playing around with XBMC and have been very impressed with how quickly I was able to get it running on a RaspberryPi. I have been focusing on JSON-RPC interactions with XBMC to allow me to control certain aspects through my home control system and I was able to get the the Input.Right,Left,etc... working with my home controller using a node.js application I wrote to act as a bridge between json-rpc commands and the simple serial commands my home controller is capable of issuing over TCP sockets. I'm now trying to bring the Weather menu to the screen with a json-rpc command and am having some difficulty. To my knowledge (and forgive me if I'm off the mark here) the default Weather app is essentially an Add-on and so my thinking is that I should be able to run it using the Addons.ExecuteAddon command. I'm issuing the following json-rpc command to my XBMC:
The response I receive is:
But XBMC remains on the main system menu and doesn't load the weather app for me. I'm not sure if there are some parameters I should be passing to the weather.wunderground add-on, I've searched but haven't been able to find any info on what parameters I should be passing it. Maybe I'm off the mark and I'm misusing the Addons.ExecuteAddon command? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
