There's no ETA for RC1 but i suppose it should be out in less than a month

Finally the new theme will be a variation more like this :



But with some subtle changes that'll you only see when it's out

It near last time to give feedback about this.

[warlion]

This month is gonna be a very long wait lol

[Tolriq]

Finally the patch in RC1 have limitations with special characters.

It's a bad news for me but a good for you as I'll go with the old HttpApi so I'll try to update for Sunday.

[warlion]

Lol. To bad for you hurra for us
But if you think that the keyboard is a kick on the butt take your time we can survive without. It will be appreciate but we can survive

[Tolriq]

Well I want a full featured remote working for Eden

[warlion]

That's what I'm talking about it a kickass developer

Tolriq, thanks for explaining and that did clear some things up for me. I saw you mention elsewhere in the thread you are planning on implementing the "send to xbmc" feature, which is great to hear, but I have a question about how that work that went unanswered in the official remote forum.. Is the 'send to' command from yatse to xbmc a specific command to initiate the youtube plugin, or is it more of a general command that xbmc uses to then interpret what must be used to play the url? I ask because I think it would be cool to be able to send image URLs to xbmc and then display it.. But I wasn't sure if this is something that would need to be handled by a plugin within xbmc or just treated differently when sending the link.

It seems like back when this was a xbox only project I could send an image URL (with a firefox plugin) and it would display on xbmc, and now I'm not sure if the feature is missing or if I'm just making things up

[Tolriq]

Well it's the 2

There's a special way to call the youtube plugin for youtube video that the remote must call. And for normal video or music i just send the url to Xbmc.

I've made some test with images and it seems that it does not works.
But i suppose this is a limitation on xbmc side and perhaps a plugin is needed.

Using Player.Open with the "file" property of the "item" parameter works perfectly fine for me when e.g. setting "file" to a URL that points to an image from google search.

[Tolriq]

Well i'm gonna test more with Json, for the moment i use eventserver and execbuiltin PlayMedia.

Does Player.Open works with Url like : plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/search&action=play_video&videoid= to call plugins ?

[Montellese]

I didn't check but in the end it works similar to the builtin PlayMedia command and both go through the same methods in CApplication which determine which player to use etc.

[Tolriq]

Ok so after some tests The Player.Open works OK with plugins and Jpg.

No way to open png or gif images. They goes to DVDPlayer who can't open them.

Should i open a ticket ?

[Montellese]

Hm okay that's kinda stupid. Yeah please create a ticket and CC me. I'll have a look why JPGs go to the slideshow and other image formats don't.

[Tolriq]

Done : http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12688
