Juanflaco Wrote:I'm having a heck of a time getting local trailers to play, and wondering if I'm just missing something simple. When streaming trailers via AMT lite, everything looks good but I'd like to pick three specific trailers for a kids' movie day tomorrow, and when I select the local source the script bypasses trailers entirely and moves straight to my feature presentation intro.

Trailers are named "Rango_5-trailer.mov" or similar, no .nfo files associated but I'm not trying to do any genre or rating matching. Do I need anything other than the trailers in the specified local directory?

Thanks in advance!

giftie: do you have any idea what has changed in xbmc code recently that could prevent local scraper from working? can it be related to move to external python or JSONRPC changes?

rflores2323 Wrote:where is there information on how to set the home automation? read the past couple of pages and nothing on the front page. HOw is this set up and what can it be used for?

I was wondernig if I could get my lights to turn on/off when I hit play. I am using a URC light switch that is RF compatible with my URC-810 remote.. however would be nice to do it inside xbmc. I have no idea where to start however.

ijourneaux Wrote:If I understood Giftie correctly, I don't beleive the home automation work is complete. It will require some customization beyond the configuration page(s) in HCE.

If the HCE script would be capable of generating events at the various positions in the script, it would be relatively easy to configure EventGhost or HomeSeer to react to the events and dim the light, shut blinds, etc. The nice thing with this approach is that HCE takes a passive role and just generates the events. The user could use any application that works for his platform or equipment to do the home automation.

Looking forward to the Home Automation functionality.

giftie Wrote:I just finished building the latest version of XBMC, though I have more problems(there is an error in the slides now....)

But I think I did come across the JSONRPC call that is in question...

I think you might feel confident enough to change a line of code to test to see if this fixes your problem...

in the file 'folder.py' (script.cinema.experience/resources/lib/folder.py)

replace the following line:

Code:

json_query = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Files.GetDirectory", "params": {"directory": "%s", "media": "%s", "recursive": "%s"}, "id": 1}' % ( escapeDirJSON( dir_name ), media_type, recursive )

with this

Code:

json_query = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Files.GetDirectory", "params": {"directory": "%s", "media": "%s"}, "id": 1}' % ( escapeDirJSON( dir_name ), media_type )

When I first tried the script, it failed to play any videos until I changed this.. I will make this change anyways since it does not break the script for Dharma users(the 'recursive' was never working anyways..)

giftie Wrote:I didn't realize you were using a bleeding edge version of XBMC(git version) There has been some changes that have broken the script, at least for me it did today. It's mostly fixed for the next release, but I need to test against Dharma(10.1) I hope I can keep it stable for both camps...
