Oh... yes, I meant the PVR, but I was not aware that it will not be in 'Eden'... what a pitty.

I can't seem to figure out what arguments VideoPlayer.SeekTime() should have. According to the docs it should just require a integer argument, but that doesn't seem to work. I keep getting:


Any ideas?

It's just a wild guess on my part, but did you try something like mms ?

e.g: 12:15

I realize that's not what is in the specs but maybe worth a try...

SeekTime() should take a single integer. Can you please post the JSON request you send?

Nope doesn't work either.

This is the request I'm sending (using jsonrpclib):

Unfortunately XBMCs JSON RPC API is not yet fully compliant with the SJON RPC 2.0 specification. This means that all the methods which only take a single method do this by expecting the json value directly and not within an array or object. So currently the "valid" call would be

But this is a known problem and I'm currently discussing with topfs2 how this would be solved best and I'm willing to fix this as soon as it is decided how (check Trac #10095 for more details).

Hm I see. But unfortunately, passing the parameter like that doesn't work either:

Actually it works but "Failed to execute method" in this context means that you called videoplayer.seektime() although the videoplayer is currently not playing any video.

All the *Player methods only do something if the actual player within XBMC is currently playing something.

Oh yes of course, sorry my bad

EDIT: And when now I see remove and insert is commited to svn http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/34390 will check if its backportable

Is this Insert/Remove extension on schedule? Or how else I can remove item from the AudioPlaylist?
Command:
returns:
while somewhere in this thread suggested replacement:

Or the pure old xbmcHttp?command=RemoveFromPlaylist is the only way to do it?

Hi topfs2, I was wondering if this has or will get implemented? I have tried a few combos and keep on getting all the songs in the library.

I can’t seem to make “MusicLibrary.GetSongs” do the same thing, is it possible? I am currently grabbing all songs at page load and looping through each item when searched - which I don’t think will scale well.

Great idea! I'll add some form of filter parameters to all the FooLibrary.GetBar calls.

Does
Code:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "MusicLibrary.GetSongs", "params": { "filter": { "artist": "FOO", "album": "BAR" } } , "id": 1 }

Sounds like a plan?

It would be oh-so-handy being able to filter that GetSongs method (that can obviously get very large when you have a few songs - ~2.5Mb for 6000 songs).

One other thing, is it possible to give the AudioPlaylist.Add an array of song id's eg.

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioPlaylist.Add", "params": { "songids": [34,56,167] } , "id": 1 }

This is proving to be a bit of a bottleneck in my application.

Thanks in advance and loving working with jsonrpc over the old httpapi!

Hello Montellese,

my answer comes a little delayed, because I first needed to get some basic foundation programming done. (I decided to write my Client in Qt - and this is my first Qt project...) So thanks for your answer some weeks ago..

I can't find the functions you told me. I'm using the XBMC Darma Release from Dec, 17. JSONRPC.Introspect only shows me "System.GetInfoLabels" which returns an empty value.

So what am I missing?

Could someone point me t where I can find a list of what calls/procedures have been implemented under JSON?

Am I correct in my understanding that the simple "SendKeys" functionality of the HTTP api has not yet been implemented? Is there an alternative call in JSON with similar functionality?

....

Another wishful thinking is adding the directory subtree, eg.
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioPlaylist.Add", "params": { "directory": "myshares/jazz/flac/Christmas", "mode":"subtree","filter":"music"} , "id": 1 }

You are missing to correct parameters to the System.GetInfoLabels method. You need to provide an array containing the labels you would like to retrieve
would be what you are after (it's not tested so maybe I made a mistake while typing it out of my head).

Calling the JSONRPC.Introspect method provides you with a list of all available methods. Otherwise you can check the source code here: JSONRPC.cpp. Simply scroll down a little and you will see a list of all methods and sometimes even a description.

You are right, there is no equivalent method in the JSON RPC api so far.
