Hi,
This is my very first attempt with Kodi services and skins.
I already modified my Titan skin to enable a third row underneath the time and date to display my IP.
My goal, is to display the external IP and location here, and so I also created a service that does exactly that and prints the result in the log file for now.
The code of the service is the following:
and the result printed on the log file is exactly what I expect.
The part of the skin that I edited is the IncludeHeader.xml, and I edited it like this:
the last label is printing Network.IPAddress.
How do I make this print the result of my service?
Again, this is the first time for me, so any type of help would be really really appreciated. Thanks a lot
This is my very first attempt with Kodi services and skins.
I already modified my Titan skin to enable a third row underneath the time and date to display my IP.
My goal, is to display the external IP and location here, and so I also created a service that does exactly that and prints the result in the log file for now.
The code of the service is the following:
Code:
import xbmcaddon
import xbmcgui
import subprocess
import urllib
import requests
import json
import xbmc
import time
addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()
addonname = addon.getAddonInfo('name')
def check_location():
send_url = 'http://freegeoip.net/json'
r = requests.get(send_url)
j = json.loads(r.text)
city = j['city']
return "Currently connected from: " + city;
def check_ip():
public_ip = subprocess.check_output(["ifconfig `ip route get 8.8.8.8 | grep 8.8.8.8 | cut -d' ' -f5` | grep \'inet \' | awk -F'[: ]+' '{ print $4 }'"], shell=True);
result = ("Your IP is : %s " % public_ip);
return result;
if __name__ == '__main__':
monitor = xbmc.Monitor()
while not monitor.abortRequested():
if monitor.waitForAbort(2):
break
test = "Check IP and Location" + check_ip() + check_location();
xbmc.log(test, level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)and the result printed on the log file is exactly what I expect.
The part of the skin that I edited is the IncludeHeader.xml, and I edited it like this:
Code:
<include name="TimeInfoCompact">
<control type="group">
<control type="label">
<right>50</right>
<top>10</top>
<align>right</align>
<width>300</width>
<info>System.Time</info>
<font>Bold30</font>
<textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>
<shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>
</control>
<control type="label">
<right>50</right>
<top>40</top>
<align>right</align>
<width>500</width>

</include>the last label is printing Network.IPAddress.
