Hi,

I would like to browse video addons through the API, from RPC with a custom perl code.

How should I proceed ?
I've seen some infos about browsing into kodi itself through the API, but not about browsing addons.

Could you point me to a link where I could get this informations ?

Thanks

just introspect the json api, or see docs https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v8#Addons

Hi,

Thanks.
So I've got around a bit, and I've managed to send JSON requests, listing me the directory of my plugin, with the help of "Files.GetDirectory" method.
The listing given is a list of files ("filetype":"file").

At this point onto the graphic interface of kodi, the plugin scan for a list of sources for the given file.
How can I handle that task through JSON (getting the list of sources for the given file) ?

I would have figure that the listing should have given me a list of "directories" to browse into the the sources, for the given file.
But as the filetypes are "file" I don't know how to proceed from there...


Thanks in advance

To make it more clear, I want to call the scrapper within the addon, and get its results from the JSON-RPC interface.

Here is example of browsing plugin content from my plugin https://github.com/vlmaksime/plugin.video.united.search
 

python:
    def get_directory( self, directory ):

        request = {'jsonrpc': '2.0',

                   'method': 'Files.GetDirectory',

                   'params': {'properties': ['title', 'genre', 'year', 'rating', 'runtime', 'plot', 'file', 'art', 'sorttitle', 'originaltitle'],

                              'directory': directory,

                              'media': 'files'},

                    'id': 1

                   }

        response = xbmc.executeJSONRPC(json.dumps(request))



        j = json.loads(response)

        result = j.get('result')

        if result:

            for file in result.get('files', []):

                yield file

Where "directory" is path to plugin directory "plugin://plugin.video.tvzavr.ru/action=search&_query=keyword"

You can install this plugin from my repository and test, how it's works on my video plugins

Hi,

Thank you. Yes I went that far.
But the plugin I'm browsing uses a scraper afterward.

So the files listed are not actually files: the plugin launches several scraper.
Onto the GUI interface, if i click onto one of these files, it begins to scrap, then it displays the results.

I'd like to get these scraped results, through JSON-RPC
