Yes but I wont do to that on the interface like move the focus up and down etc...
sorry I didnt ask the question right.

For the moment httpapi or eventserver (would recommand the second one

Audio.Playlist and VideoPlaylist.GetItems only return a label, file and thumbnail no matter what fields you pass. Is it possible for these to return all info? I.e For each item in the Audio.Playlist it would return the songid, artist, album etc.
Edit: I take that back it is parsing all fields except songid which would be useful if it could return that.

Hi,
I'm coding a library for manage the music library on a Windev application.
You plan to add support of fanart on the json library ?
Thanks

Please provide an example of this not work, it works fine for me.

Sorry, catch all and continue exception handling kind of hides things :p
songid is being parsed and returned but XBMC.Play(songid) is returning invalid params.
Code:
7/30/2010 2:00:18 PM - Invoke: {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "XBMC.Play",
"params": {
"songid": 231
},
"id": 898
}
7/30/2010 2:00:18 PM - Response: Invalid ParamsI'll get the latest SVN build as Topfs2 mentions on the last page he fixed this perhaps my build is outdated.
Edit: Yeah dammit sorry my build was too old. Hard to keep up with the nightlies lol.

Is there a way to show a single picture? I was hoping that if I provided XBMC.Play or XBMC.StartSlideshow with the filename of a picture, that the picture would be shown.
Also, is there a way to check whether a filename is part of the library and thus get the data associated with it? I ask because if I start playing a file using it's filename, I can only see the filename when using Audio/VideoPlaylist.GetItems. It would be awesome if there was a way to see all the additional details of the file if it is already in the library.
- topfs2 - 2010-08-01
StartSlideshow with file as parameter should only start with the one file IIRC.
Regarding files filling metadata, this is intended but I haven't decided were this should be done. i.e. if XBMC core should fill out on start of playback if no metadata exist or if jsonrpc should go out of its way querying the data from the database, IMO it should be cores job.
At any rate, I suggest to use database as much as possible, i.e. start playback with movieid, songid, artistid so on and so forth, that way you will get metadata available.
- marksoccer - 2010-08-02
I can't get StartSlideshow to work by providing one file.
VideoLibrary sorting dosn't work - noem - 2010-08-02
Does the sortmethod and sortorder methods work because I can't get it to work it always ignores those fields
Code:
HTTP request: {
id = 0;
jsonrpc = "2.0";
method = "VideoLibrary.GetSeasons";
params = {
fields = (
season
);
sortmethod = season;
sortorder = ascending;
tvshowid = 12;
};
}Code:
JSON result: {
id = 0;
jsonrpc = "2.0";
result = {
end = 10;
seasons = (
{
label = "Season 1";
season = 1;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/9/9bb2a0cd.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 10";
season = 10;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/6/68c4506f.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 2";
season = 2;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/9/96f18614.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 3";
season = 3;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/9/92309ba3.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 4";
season = 4;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/8/8c77cba6.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 5";
season = 5;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/8/88b6d611.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 6";
season = 6;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/8/85f5f0c8.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 7";
season = 7;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/8/8134ed7f.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 8";
season = 8;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/b/b97b50c2.tbn";
},
{
label = "Season 9";
season = 9;
thumbnail = "special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/b/bdba4d75.tbn";
}
);
start = 0;
total = 10;
};

Well none of those are proper JSON so hard to tell ...
Both method and order needs to be strings, and it should be "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "season" }. Please read the jsonrpc poc webinterface, IIRC it uses sorting

Sorry if I've missed any updated link on the thread, i've just read the 29 odd pages but didn't see anything..
Is this up to date?

no
You need to install xbmc and connect to the web page and the go to dev part
- Ishiro - 2010-08-10
Hello,
I'd like to make a simple remote controller for XBMC optimized for iPhone, with a nice UI.
I tought it will quite easy to do something with some HTML, CSS and JS using JSON-RPC, but I can't find a good way to send keyboard events... Unless with HTTP API (ie. http://machine:port/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SendKey(code)) which seems to be deprecated.
So, any advice ? Will XBMC implement a similar function in the future (through JSON-RPC) ?
Secondly, is there a nice way to start XBMC with a remote based on http ? (I think no, because the web server is not started, but perhaps a helper exists...).
Thanks !
A preview of the UI :
Edit:
I'm trying HTTP-API, and finally SendAction() method is more useful than SendKey, actually.
