Is this not working for you?

hmm I cannot add the screenshot here...
it is the standard-kodi window screen-keyboard but without any letters in the fields and the http-field cannot be accessed...

I'm running Gotham 13.2 on a win 8.1 system with nextpvr doing my recording for me.

I am trying to make viewing videos similar to my REPLAY TV (some people may remember these and my wife is still using one of ours). With Replay TV, when a video ends or you stop it, it gives you 3 options, "Resume playback", "Delete the video", or "Play another Video". By default I have the "Play another video" working as that would be where Kodi would return anyway, and I don't think I will have any problem with the delete. That is ordinary stuff.

I am of course using Python to try to do these things, and while not a Python expert, I am getting better with it. I've already made a couple of handy little tools for Kodi.

But... the resume is another story for me and maybe someone could point me in the right direction as my searches on this forum and elsewhere have not found a solution. When I "START" a video (I'm watching in file mode so I can skip the commercials via COMSKIP), the trigger records all the pertinent info available with the addon (file name, the trigger, etc, etc) and writes that to a file for later use. I then use that file when "STOP" is triggered as the addon does not provide the filename there. But when I execute a xbmc.player.play(), it always starts at the beginning of the video, not in the place it left off. I do have XBMC video settings set to "Resume" and that works fine when playing or resuming a video normally.

I am assuming Kodi has a bookmark someplace saying where the video left off as it knows when you start a video. So I need to know where that is and how to get it so I could use it in my Python script. There does not seem to be a player.resume() function to execute and I'd like to build one for my function. I know the player.play() function has a field indicating where to start. So if I could retrieve that info from "who knows where" I should be able to plug it in and do exactly what I want. I'd also like to find where the "WATCHED" or "UNWATCHED" field is as ideally I'd only like to trigger my delete function when the show is watched.

I'm doing all my development on my desktop PC so Kodi remains stable and usable for my normal needs.

Anyone have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it. It might help me finally get my wife to give up her ReplayTVs.

Thanks in advance for any assistance that may be given.

------- OK, I found a fix
jsonrpc. From there I can send a play "resume".

{"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "Player.Open",
"params": {"item": {"file":my_file},
"options": {"resume": True

I wanted to use the "executejsonrpc" from within the XBMC Python transport. Never could get it to work. After much research, trial and error, and frustration I went to the HTTP jsonrpc transport, and got it to work. Not a lot of examples out on the web to help, but the ones I did find, finally gave me enough help to make it work.

So now when a show stops (set it up to only do my thing if a TV Show) I have the 3 options mentioned above. And when I select "delete" it deletes the show file along with the other edl and txt files created by COMSKIP. If the directory is now empty, it deletes the directory too.

Maybe someone else will be helped by this.

I pushed an update that *should* fix that to git: https://github.com/KenV99/service.xbmc.callbacks2/archive/requests.zip
you only need to replace the default.py file in your current addon installation from the zip

It just occurs on a different line. If you look at the logs starting at about 4am, that is when the show starts. It is 4:40am - 5:00am, then 5:00am-6:00am, and then the last time is 6:00am-7:00am. You will see when I watch the shop and stop it before Comskip completes, it triggers the onPlaybackStop fine. But once Comskip has done it's thing, it breaks on the "onPlaybackStart".
