Hey guys
As Soundgraph has released a first API to access their LCDs and VFDs from 3rd party applications I started writing a tool (with C#) which uses the JSON-RPC service XBMC provides with Dharma to display information about currently playing items on the LCD/VFD. I found the xbmc-json library developped by dstruktiv and think it's quite useful. But I am lacking the possibility of receiving announcements (I absolutely don't want to poll the status of the players every second or so).
Could someone please provide me some detailed information on how to catch those announcements? As far as I found out these are broadcasted over TCP on port 9090. Is that correct and is that port fixed or do I need to configure it somewhere?
