RE: [HOW-TO] Easily switch audio outputs, settings, etc. - graysky - 2021-05-21
I figured out what is wrong. In short, the syntax changed. For me, I had to append a literal "ALSA:" prefix to the targets. See details in this thread.

Yep, I have a "ASLA:" at the start of my settings string too.

Just as an FYI for others switching to v20 from v19,
xbmc.translatePath has been depreciated in Kodi's Python API v19. It has been replaced by xbmcvfs.translatePath. Adjust your scripts accordingly.Example:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import xbmc
+import xbmcvfs
import os
-tempdir = xbmc.translatePath('special://temp/')
+tempdir = xbmcvfs.translatePath('special://temp/')
tempfile0 = os.path.join(tempdir, 'audiooutput0')RE: [HOW-TO] Easily switch audio outputs, settings, etc. - ashlar - 2023-05-18
How can one get an updated list of settings, similar to the one linked in the OP? Lots of stuff has been added to Kodi since 2014.

issuing getsettings should return all available i believe - https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v13#Settings.GetSettings
or something else youre looking for?

I will experiment. Thanks for your help.
(What I'm trying to say is that, apart from using it through EventGhost, I've never issued JSON commands through my Windows PC; don't know if it's something I can do through the command line... there's the need to study and experiment; thanks again)

put the url in your browser
http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Settings.GetSettings"}
format with something like https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com
save as a .json file
open with a nice editor -
https://kate-editor.org
https://notepad-plus-plus.org
look for id and value pairs
