Prior to upgrading to XBMCv10, I used to use a webget of the above and parse the response to find out if XBMC was playing anything currently. This was in an idle-shutdown script on the box.

This no longer works with XBMCv10.

Can some helpful soul recommend a new way of acheiving this?

Looking at this, this might be unsupported in the latest version. However, the replacement looks trickier to do by shell script.

Thank you, even though this is deprecated it works with 10.1.

Will take that easy route for now until there are some simple examples of using the json method!

Brilliant - I used use those from the browser bar of the netbook - great to know I still can (for now).

Thanks for the info!
