sphere Wrote:is there any way to get the xbmc internal GlobalIdleTime over jsonrpc?No there isn't (AFAIK). IIRC there already is a pull request for this but as it is a very XBMC specific feature we haven't decided yet how to make it available through JSONRPC.
I already tried to get this value via "System.GetProperties", "Application.GetProperties" or "XBMC.GetInfoLabels" but without success. Do I miss something?

I'm trying to switch back and forth between a video play list and a slideshow.

khargy Wrote:Is there something I'm doing wrong?The calls to jsonrpc look correct. I can't test the exact same procedure because I don't have any video playlist files but starting a video using Player.Open and then starting a slideshow using Player.Open doesn't work for me either anymore. The video stops but the slideshow isn't started. Can you please create a bug ticket for this and cc me. Thanks.
khargy Wrote:Also it doesn't seem like the video playlist is random, which seems to be the default, what is the syntax to add the random property?Yeah Player.Open doesn't provide the possibility to specify a "random" parameter for the videos or music, only for slideshows. And by default random is disabled for videos because I normally prefer to watch my tv episodes in the right order and not in a random order But you can call "Player.Shuffle" after you started the video playlist to randomize the playlist.
