pimatic-kodi state

---

Hi Folks,

since some time my kodi rules doesnt work

“kodi-zboIFx is playing and $kodi-zbox.type != “song” and lightmode-switch is turned on”

i can see the playing state in the variables but the rule doesnt act.

Any ideas?

no one with the same problem?

Yes me too. But use the variables instead of the plugin rules.

Like if $kodi.state = "stop"

@sweebee it’s the same problem with variables?

We need some improvement

for me variables work fine.

@sweebee THX i will try this.

Maybe someone can tag this topic as bug?

Sorry. Now, I have activated the issues queue on that project. https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-kodi/issues

Maybe the problem is due to recent changes of the state handling which had been introduced with a new version of the base library. @Chris-van-Marle fixed that for the device implementation, but most likely additional fixture is required for the action and predicate handlers. I am trying to look into into this asap.

@mwittig big thx I love this feature!

Amy news for this bug?

Any news? Still not working

only “not playing” is triggered by roule

@administrators why no news about this? i cant use the plugin for a looong time

@mwittig marcus, do you have some spare time to have a look what’s wrong here?
would be very nice

@sweebee Does the plugin still work fine for with work-around you have described earlier?

@mwittig I have tryed the workaround but not working for me

Yea everything works fine for me.

@sweebee hey is it possible to make a little remote session to debug my issue?

I have just retested the stuff with Kodi 17.3 and it worked for me right away with the following condition:

WHEN state of kodi is "play" THEN ...

I used this to let a LED light flash which worked flawlessly.

The predicate “is playing” provided by pimatic-kodi does not work however. There are several issues with that code and I think it needs a rewrite.
