Hey Buddy,

Sorry for the late post.... I too have TWC... you need a USB modem that is capable of Caller ID... this gets plugged to a Win computer where you have YAC software running. Then the YAC software sends the notices to each XBMC machine that activates the add-on...

This thread has additional info on how to get it all working.... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=133167

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).

If you try to use one of the lines above, change the quotation marks back to regular plain ones, rather than the enhanced ones that are shown in this post, otherwise they won't work.

Note that the extension ****1122 refers to a technique the author used to make this work in FreePBX as explained in the original article - in basic Asterisk you'd just use the extension number. Also, the phone icon mentioned is this:



See the original article for more information, but keep in mind that it was aimed at FreePBX users so if you are using basic Asterisk, there are probably instructions there that don't apply to you.

(Edited to include change made by blog's author after I pointed out an error, and additional changes for Frodo)

I'm using it with both windows based and openelec xbmc, and have all the settings correct, but I'm not getting any ncid popups on either.
I have lots of other ncid services running on different devices, and the xbmc plugins are the only ones that are giving me trouble.
Is there any way to debug it? I see the option, but don't know what that does
Thanks!
