onPlayBackStarted in service addon - nilzen - 2012-03-27
Can someone please point me in the right direction for listening to player events, onPlayBackStarted etc, in a service addon?
Code:
import xbmc
class PlayerEvents(xbmc.Player) :
def onPlayBackStarted(self):
xbmc.log("play")
player=PlayerEvents()
xbmc.log("init")"init" gets logged but never "play", Python isn't my preferred language so I'm sure if there's a better way to subscribe to player events but I found some example code where they were listening to player event this way using the old autoexec.py

IIRC you need to have a while (!xbmc.abortRequested) or thereabouts there, otherwise your script completes immediately.

Yeah, you have to keep the script running by checking for a condition and then sleeping.

use xbmc.sleep not time.sleep..
