Is there any notification/announcement or other way to tell when a VideoLibrary.Scan has finished. That is, when XBMC has finished scanning and updating the Video Library?
Thanks,

Nope there isn't right now. But you can open a feature request ticket for it.

Sorry for not coming back sooner. As I use live XBMC distro upgraded to preEden, so I don't have any video files locally. I'm not good at linux, can you tell me how can I copy some files to the hdd to be able to check this? Thanks

Is there any way to force the retrieval of video metadata if XBMC hasn't gotten it already? I really need to figure out the duration of video files that are in the user's library but no metadata is there yet.
For what i know xbmc will add the metadata when you do a library scan.
But if the NFO does contain data this data will be used
even is the data is empty.
The solution i choose is Ember with automated scan of only metadata and disable all data plugins. So it's only update the nfo with up2date metadata. Not perfect but quick and easy solution

I don't use linux either so I can't really help you there sorry.

No JSON-RPC does not provide a Refresh method or something like that. Not even sure if the Refresh functionality in XBMC retrieves the metadata.

the response fails eval()
Well that's because in python there is no "null" as they call it "None" but "null" is a valid type/value in JSON (see
http://www.json.org/). There are also other calls which might return "null" as a value for a certain property. You should use a json(-rpc) library to handle the responses in python even though python uses a very similar (but not identical) object representation as JSON does.
In that particular case though it would also make sense to return an empty array (i.e. "[]") instead of null which might make overall parsing simpler.
I am trying to use Player.SetSpeed. When passing a zero or negative value I am getting back the error, positive values work.
If I don't quote the values I get:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.SetSpeed","params":{"playerid":1,"speed":-1},"id":0}
{"error":{"code":-32602,"data":{"method":"Player.SetSpeed","stack":{"message":"Received value does not match any of the union type definitions","name":"speed","type":["string","integer"]}},"message":"Invalid params."},"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
If I quote the values I get:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.SetSpeed","params":{"playerid":1,"speed":"-4"},"id":0}
{"error":{"code":-32602,"data":{"method":"Player.SetSpeed","stack":{"message":"Received value does not match any of the defined enum values","name":"speed","type":["string","integer"]}},"message":"Invalid params."},"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
Running Eden Beta 1.
Am I constructing the command correctly?

No it was broken in XBMC because I introduced union types. I fixed it in
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/fabc...f11af6253c
Thanks for reporting it.
Thanks. FYI, I also posted a bug about the navigation commands not playing the action sounds that got fixed 2 hours after posting. Awesome!
Yeah I saw that one as well but vdrfan was faster than me
