I see some people have trouble with On Playback Started with Kodi 18, but it's working fine for me. On Playback Paused, is not working though. Does anyone know how I can get it working?

[muntos]

I need a way to send commands on play/pause/stop events, Callbacks seems to not be anymore a solution on Kodi 19, is there any other alternative ?

I have been using callbacks for many years successfully until I went to 19.3.  I miss it. Don't expect anything real soon, but I have been working on a fix for several weeks now and am close to having it working.  I only use onPlayStarted, onPlayResumed, and onPlayStopped, so I am only trying to get those working.  Also I am executing a Python script when one of these events is triggered. And to add one more thing, I use "import and run".
So keep checking here and I may have a fix real soon. I already think I have the callback code fixed.  The problem (for me) seems to be in the "taskPython.py" script.  So now making some fixes in my code.
Stay tuned.

Have you heard about this fix? I’ve been trying to do that, but I can’t find an app on my Shield, that would allow me to edit that file.

I forked the plugin on Github and began to port it to Python 3. When there's no configuration existing it starts without errors, but it does not work at the moment. Could you please install it, create a configuration and give me some feedback: what did you do and which error occurred in the kodi.log.
I'll try to fix the issues, but I've only limited time and no experience with Kodi plugin development, so please be patient.

You can download it under https://github.com/pikim/script.service.kodi.callbacks -> Code -> Download ZIP. Unzip the content into the Kodi addon directory and remove the trailing '-master' from the directory name.

I don’t see the zip file under “Code”. Am I missing something?

[ReplayHarry]

Yes, I saw that and included that in my "fixed" code, but there were other things wrong too. Just need a bit more time and then I think I will have a fix that is useable.

That fix worked for me on Kodi 18.9

Tried installing the addons on Kodi 19 which is now using Python 3.x only. The error I got trying to install callback, "The dependency on xbmc.python version 2.20.0 could not be satisfied".
I am assuming the code for this addon needs to be updated to use the Python 3.x library. Any chance will this be updated?

NVM, did some digging and found an updated github, for those have the same question, here is the updated github repo. https://github.com/pikim/script.service.kodi.callbacks

I was looking for an add-on who allows me to execute at the Kodi 'onStartup' and 'onShutdown' events some command, exactly a windows power management cmd like this:

cpp:
powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac 120

I found the Callbacks add-on but nothing else AND I found that is no longer 100 % working at Kodi v19 due to its Python 2 source code. What a pity! It would be great if some of the many forks (I saw 23) would be successful. 
Anyhow I will try now the fork of pikim and I will see how far I will come.

There is a green button with name 'Code', click it. Now you see some new stuff and at the end the item 'Download ZIP'.

Unfortunately not that far, i.e. the add-on was not allowing me to select any event in the 'Events' tab sheet. Kodi.log excerpt:

I've no experience with Kodi on Windows. Could you try

python:
pip install requests

in a command window? Maybe you'll have to go to

python:
C:\Program Files\Kodi\system\python

first. But I've no idea whether pip works on your setup.

[_Michael_]

I do not know what "pip" is or means for the error I posted before. Anyhow you wrote "I've no experience with Kodi on Windows." which makes it difficult if not impossible to continue ...
In the meanwhile I solved my problem outside of Kodi, see here (link). I whish your work on the callbacks add-on all the best but I'm out.
Happy easter!

Hi,

I want to execute a python file only when an audio file starts, an another if a movie starts for example.
Is that possible with this addon ?
I saw the %mt argument, but I don't know how to use it ...

Thanks.
