Can someone point me to how to read a kodi setting from a python script? (From "guisettings.xml")
All the advice I've found is about getting/setting an addon's own settings, not the global settings.

I want to get the value of "Preferred subtitle language" from Kodi's Settings ('locale.subtitlelanguage' in guisettings.xml)

Thanks.

You can use Kodi's JSONRPC

python:
import xbmc

import json



json_string = {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'method': 'Settings.GetSettingValue', 'params': {'setting': 'locale.subtitlelanguage'}}

json_call = json.dumps(json_string)

result = xbmc.executeJSONRPC(json_call)

result = json.loads(result)

result = result['result']

result = result.get('value')

Thanks!!!
It works.

All the time I was trying "GUI.GetProperties".

By the way, can I also change a setting in this way or only read data?

Yes.  See JSON RPC page.  Change to SetSettingValue and add value of the setting.


Thanks,
