Hi.

I've been looking around the forum these last days and have found this question asked several times, but never answered...

I am managing to invoke python executables through json-rpc calls, using the Addons.ExecuteAddon command. 

However, when such calls are successful, I get a success message like "{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}"

Is there some way the addon can return a different message, with some extra content, eg, some json expression with a list of songs?

Bye and thanks, Luís

not 100% sure, but perhaps this method will work:

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I suppose your suggestion does not fully comply with what I wanted, since that would be, somehow, an asynchronous response, and it would be broadcast to everyone connected, and not simply to whoever made the json-rpc call.

In spite of that, for the purpose I have, that might be an option, and I will investigate...

I would welcome other suggestions, though...

Bye and thanks, Luís

I was indeed trying to investigate the NotifyAll option. From the linked documentation, I can read that this will "Notify all other connected clients". The problem is that I don't know how to connect clients, and which types of clients could possibly connect...

Any hints on this?

Bye and thanks, Luís

Your question is perplexing... The response you are receiving "result":"ok" is hardcoded to Kodi and meant as a confirmation of query; There are no json-rpc backends in existence (ANYWHERE) that allow third-party's to change this response.

As @ronie explained; use Kodis json-rpc to generate a custom notification.

 Use below for individual endpoints.

python:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"Hello","message":"World"},"id":1}

Thanks.

I am indeed trying to follow ronie's suggestions, but I'm needing more info on this, since I am new to the whole thing...

I've managed to subscribe to notifies using websockets, in case someone else is interested.
