Can we get a page-up and page-down Input commands? Would help in navigating large libraries.

Input.PageUp
Input.PageDown

Also, a toggle for watched would be nice.

Input.Watched

Input.ExecuteAction with "action" set to "pageup" or "pagedown".

Ah, I see. I keep looking in the documentation for this stuff but it's just not there. I tried the following, which didn't work...I'm guessing the syntax is off.

http://192.168.1.70:8082/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","PageUp","id":1}

I think you should first read up on how JSON-RPC works before throwing commands at XBMC and wondering why it doesn't work. You can find the JSON-RPC specification here: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification

As you can see from the examples you can't throw the "PageUp" into the request object, you need to wrap it in the "params" property i.e.

Code:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method", "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "PageUp" }, "id": 1 }

I've spent literally hours pouring over that stuff. This is my fifth time trying to get this to work. Can't tell you how frustrating it is that I had finally gotten it working and now it's broken again!

I suspect the real problem is I'm not comp sci major so I find the specifications confusing and lacking in useful examples. If I were a dev, I'm sure it would be easy...

Code:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method", "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "PageUp" }, "id": 1 }

This code gave me the following error:

{"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error."},"id":null,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

using the specs as an example:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "sum", "params": [1,2,4], "id": "1"},

I tried

Code:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "PageUp" }, "id": 1 }

{"error":{"code":-32602,"data":{"method":"Input.ExecuteAction","stack":{"message":"Received value does not match any of the defined enum values","name":"action","type":"string"}},"message":"Invalid params."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Yup there's a type on my example, the "," after "methods" should be a ":". And the action has to be "pageup" and not "PageUp" (my bad as well).

Case sensitive!!! No!!!!

Code:

http://192.168.1.70:8082/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "pageup" }, "id": 1 }

{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

woot!

Code:

http://192.168.1.70:8082/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "pagedown" }, "id": 1 }

{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

woot!

Code:

http://192.168.1.70:8082/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "togglewatched" }, "id": 1 }

{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

woot!

Now if I can just resolve my iRule issues, I can build one hell of a good remote...

Thanks for your help/patience!

Any idea how to enter these commands in Yatse custom command?  What is put in Method field and what in params field?
