• Support for different CallerID clients/servers
  
• Set Volume / Mute Volume / Pause Playback on incoming calls
  
• Fully configurable through XBMC Gui
  
• Reverse Search for telephone numbers (WIP)
  

• Fritzbox Fon
  This is what I use personally. Fritzboxes offer a
  "Callmonitor" Tcp Server on Port 1012.
  This feature needs to be enabled on your Fritzbox by dialing #96*5* with an
  analoge Phone connected to the Fritzbox directly.
  
  
• Ncid (Network Caller ID)
  Ncid seems to be the standard for unix based CallerID.
  It supports wide range of configurations.
  
  
• YAC-Server
  This is the original Windows application used by doug in his addon.
  

Quote:If you have XBMC running on a system on your local network, you could use a line such as this to send notifications to it:

In Eden and other Pre-Frodo versions:

exten => ****1122,1,TrySystem(wget -b -O /dev/null -o /dev/null “http://192.168.0.234:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.Notification(Call%20from%20%22${URIENCODE(${CALLERID(name)})}%22%2C${CALLERID(number)}%20calling%20extension%2C15000%2C%2Fhome%2Fusername%2Fphone.png)”)

In Frodo and later versions:

exten => ****1122,n,TrySystem(wget -b -O /dev/null -o /dev/null “http://192.168.0.234:8080/jsonrpc?request={%22jsonrpc%22:%222.0%22,%22method%22:%22GUI.ShowNotification%22,%22params%22:{%22title%22:%22Call%20from%20${URIENCODE(${CALLERID(name)})}%22,%22message%22:%22${CALLERID(number)}%20calling%20extension%22,%22displaytime%22:15000,%22image%22:%22%2Fhome%2Fusername%2Fphone.png%22},%22id%22:1}”)

Note that each of the above is a single long line, and to see either line in its entirety you will need to copy and paste it to a text editor. The above examples assume that XBMC is configured to allow control via a Web interface, at a fixed IP address and port (192.168.0.234 port 8080 in this example). If you happen to still have a Linux version of Boxee, the Eden version line might also work with it, perhaps with a bit of tweaking. I have no idea if it would work (with appropriate modification) with any other standalone home theater PC equipment. You will likely need to replace username with the user’s name, extension with the called extension’s number, and change the icon path to wherever you put the phone.png file (which is an icon you need to supply, such as the one at the right). Note that the icon path requires %2F in place of forward slashes (therefore %2Fhome%2Fusername%2Fphone.png really means /home/username/phone.png) and this refers to the icon directory and filename — if you choose not to use an icon then leave that part out, along with the %2C that comes just before it (or in the Frodo version, leave out this part:
,%22image%22:%22%2Fhome%2Fusername%2Fphone.png%22
Note the comma at the start; it must be included in the deleted section).

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

The jpg file will be named the phone number of the person calling. So the script puts the persons icon when it matches the incoming phone number....

It should work with Gotham and Frodo. What XBMC version are you running? Dougs Addon is not needed anymore. You may delete the folder, to be sure it does not conlict on ports.

Can you send a debug log to pastie, with the installing part in it?


Cheers Nordish a.k.a mablae
