I will take a look at it in the next few days and let you know what I find. It sounds like the connection to KODI is no succeeding.

ok thankx

I started up Kodi 17.5 and lcd smartie and am having no issues connecting to Kodi and receiving events. Perhaps you can turn on logging in the config file and see what it shows. What does your config file look like?

Hello.
I really, really like this plugin and it works very good with just 1 annoying bug..hope it could be fixed...

I'm from Germany and got the "ä, ö, ü" letters. If i write some text directly in lcd-smartie the letters works as they should but it seems that kodi or the plugin doesn't.
Look my screenshot:


both should be correctly called "Bluträcher" instead of the chinese thing.
Same happens if i'm at the mainmenu which is called "Hauptmenü" -> the "ü" is again replaced by this chinese character

my code:

Code:

$dll(if,1,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Title)#,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,System.CurrentWindow)#$dll(if,1,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,MusicPlayer.Artist)#,#$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,MusicPlayer.Artist) - )$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Title)$dll(if,1,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,MusicPlayer.Album)#,# [$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,MusicPlayer.Album)])                    )

$dll(if,1,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Title)#,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,System.CurrentControl)#$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Time(h:mm:ss))$dll(if,1,$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Duration)#,#/$dll(kodi4smartie,7,XBMC.GetInfoLabels,Player.Duration(h:mm:ss)))

$dll(Kodi4smartie,2,,)

$dll(Kodi4smartie,1,,)            $CustomChar(1,0,14,21,23,17,14,0,0)$Chr(176)$Time(hh:nn)

You probably need to enable something in the config file. Try the following section. You might need to turn on logging, reproduce your issue and see what is shown in the log file in order to display the correct character. I only can display what is given to me.

//character replacements.
//regex=ø,oe
//regex=å,aa
//regex=æ,ae

 For some reason I did not get an update in my email for your response. The problem is that kodi is not passing the title to me. It used to. It got broken somewhere in an early 17.x release. I was trying to write up a bug but didnt have the time  to figure out how to do it. Once day once I get sometime I will write up a bug to see if it can get fixed.

I see that the CodePlex site is now read only, and the source code has been moved to GitHub.  Just wondering if there is somewhere I can download the latest compiled .DLL?  I see that a "timeout" value has been added to the config file, but it must be after version 2.0.2a2.  Thanks.

Anyone found a fix for special characters?

Im using spanish and every á, é, í, ó, ú show a weird graphic.

Also, there is a proper command or configurarion to see the folder you are navigating? I can see the main categories, movies, music, but as soon as you enter a sub menu inside music, nothing show on screen. Text appears again when you are navigating music files, but when still navigating through subfolders, nothing show till you get inside the folder with music.

Thanks

Jakester34, please provide us with an update... I hope this project hasn't been abandoned?
