I seem to be getting a Player.OnPlay notification before anything is actually playing occasionally after issuing a Player.Open request. I am using XBMC 12.3 on Windows. I saw a somewhat similar issue here, so I added some error handling code, but that doesn't help. I suspect the notification is sent prematurely, but the debug logs show the player is running at the time my requests come in.

Receive OnPlay, so far so good:

Code:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.OnPlay","params":{"data":{"item":{"id":45,"type":"movie"},"player":{"playerid":1,"speed":1}},"sender":"xbmc"}}

In response to this notification, my application issues a Player.GetItem:

Code:

{ "id" : "Ctrl.GetItem", "jsonrpc" : "2.0", "method" : "Player.GetItem", "params" : { "playerid" : 1, "properties" : [ "title", "duration", "fanart", "thumbnail", "plot" ] } }

Here is where things go south. Sometimes this works, but other times I get an error:

Code:

{"error":{"code":-32100,"message":"Failed to execute method."},"id":"Ctrl.GetItem","jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Ok, so I go into error handling mode and try to get the active player:

Code:

{ "id" : "Ctrl.Init", "jsonrpc" : "2.0", "method" : "Player.GetActivePlayers", "params" : {  } }

And this indicates there are no active players.

Code:

{"id":"Ctrl.Init","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[]}

Is there something I am missing? Thanks!
