I tried you method this morning it works too. Thanks.

I just however discovered an issue with the plugin, whether i use your default.py or KenV99: the plugin works only when i go into its settings and validate them before playing a video.
Let me explain better:
- scenario1: i just start xbmc, and then start a video: plugin does not trigger
- scenario2: i start xbmc, go into plugin config page, validate the config without changing it, return to homepage, and then start a video: it works.

I activated XBMC debug to see what happened.

In scenario2 (working case after config), i see that in the logs:

Code:

When i am in scenario1 (default case, not working), i see in the logs:

Code:

10:53:24 T:4824  NOTICE: -----------------------------------------------------------------------

10:55:53 T:3032   DEBUG: XBMC callbacks: player starts

I looked into the default.py code, and it seems to me that in default case the properties are not loaded, so even though the event "player starts" is properly catched it does not trigger the subprocesscall.
For the properties to be read, i have to validate them at each xbmc start.
But, why?
I do not know if it is pertinent, but please note that i use xbmc in portable mode (started with '-p' )

My solution proposal would be to modify the default.py to hardcode within each callback function the value of the variable from settings.xml, so that it works even if the settings are not read.

Any other idea?

Code:

<setting id="player_starts" value=" python /storage/downloads/playerstart.py" />

Moreover, is there a way to find out the title of the movie/episode that is playing?
I tried:

Code:

if xbmc.getInfoLabel('VideoPlayer.Season') != "" and xbmc.getInfoLabel('VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle') != "":
   type = "episode" + xbmc.getInfoLabel('VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle')[/align]

and in my python script I call:

Code:

import sys

if 'movie' in sys.argv[1].lower():
    os.system("milight 0 C 40")
elif 'friends' in sys.argv[1].lower():
    os.system("milight 0 C 220")

But this does not work.

"Are you running from the Program Files directory using 'run as admin' or are you running from a different read/write directory?"

I am running from the program files, yes.
