New Plugin for Kodi/XBMC

p4co86

Hey Fjux,
is it possible to add something like this?

If it is 20:15
Then turn on Kodi and switch to TVchannel 5 and record for 120 minutes

Could someone please explain, how i can start the xsquezze plugin on kodi with a button? Our how are the steps to try it to get it working.
Thanks in advance.

@p4co86

your first question:

i did not yet integrate PVR. but i just checked.
Channel switching should be easy. (it’s a simple open command)

but for the record: the commands that are possible with the JSON RPC is a toggle.

So then you need to toggle the record on/off yourself.
i will look into it for the future.

for the xsquezze plugin: i do not know this plugin.
but i really depends on the plugin if you can use it like this.

plugin must support parameters when starting. (like soundcloud)

then use a custom open command like this: “plugin://plugin.program.xsqueezechooser”

that will open the plugin, but i did a quick check of their source, and it doesn’t look like it supports parameters…
but i do not fully understand what it does

XSqueeze is for multiroom audio. you can install squeezebox on your nas and stream the musik fully synchrone to each xsqueeze client. i want to start the plugin script by rule. the command “plugin://plugin.program.xsqueezechooser” does not work i dont want start the chooser, i will start xsqueeze. the is no plugin.xsquezze folder, just a script.xsqueeze.

can you give me an example for the opencommand to switch to a channel number
THANKS

you can try to use:

plugin://script.xsqueeze

but you need to try some different things.
Or try to open the info menu on the addon it self. it might show the “url” path in there.

For the switch channels, that is not yet possible, but i will put it in my next release!

i found this:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=134968

the last post, but i cant get it working, have you an idea how to get it working? it looks like that it not needs any start parameters.

i have tried the following;

plugin://script.xsqueeze
script://script.xsqueeze

how can I get the station id if I use openelec? There is no info button as far as I see.

Hi there

First of all: Thank you for this plugin!!
BUT: i have a Problem configure a rule like:

if icmp-lxdjb01 is absent for 1 Minute then stop kodi-lb

I can`t save the rule i just receive:

error [pimatic]: Next action of “stop kodi-lb” is ambiguous.

What i am doing wrong?

Flop2006

Same probleme here on a dummy-shutter device!
https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/issues/692

Fjux

the ambiguous error could have something to do with the recent update in pimatic to also include the same Actions as the Kodi device.
i suspect they might be interfering with each other.

As for the open github pull request, i will look at them soon. It has been very busy.

@sweetpi could you look into this?

sweetpi

Yes the ambiguos errors arise, because the ActionProvider now get register twice (in pimatic core and kodi plugin) till the pull request gets tested and merged. (https://github.com/Fjuxx/pimatic-kodi/pull/6). @Fjux please merge as asap, but don’t hurry

Fjux

Ah Sorry,

Didn’t know it bricked the plugin atm. i will look at it tonight or else this weekend.

p4co86

Any news about that? I get always the error with ambiguous.

Flop2006

Here the same! Any news?

georg90

have you tried https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-kodi ?

@georg90 Meanwhile, @sweetpi has updated the pimatic-kodi npm package.

georg90

I was refering to the npm package^^ Just posted the github link cause sweetpi took over the plugin and fixed it
Will test it myself tonight.
Good work everyone, thank you!

mwittig

@georg90 OK, but your earlier post was a bit misleading as you simply referenced sweetpi’s github fork.

p4co86

the bug is fixed! thx

You’re right! sorry

I have an issue with the plugin where I can’t connect to kodi (even though it’s working with the remote…) also while installing the plugin I get some warnings:

8:09:59.127 [pimatic, npm] info: WARN unmet dependency /home/kodi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic/node_modules/convict requires cjson@'0.3.0' but will load

I guess there are only because we have hardcoded versions in the package.json?
