ImportError: No module named xbmc - jose383 - 2017-12-27

I'm trying using the xmbc library to my code on python, exactly y need the method xmbc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia') to know that kodi is treaming a file.I write their imports but when I run the file, this say:
ImportError: No module named xbmc
The code:
python:
import os

import time

import signal

import sys

sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')

import subprocess

import socket

import xbmc

import xbmcgui



while True:

    if xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia'):

        setMovieScene()

        sleep(3)

the source:

If I edit line xbmc for kodi, I get this error:
python:


--import xbmc

--import xbmcgui

++ import kodi
ERROR: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getCondVisibility'
I run this program in autoexec.py in userdata folder

You have a typo: xmbc must be xbmc:
python:
if xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia'):

 It isn`t the problem,
In the original code I write xbmc, the problem is the error when I write: import xbmc
¿How I can use Player.HasMedia in python code for execute via console?

Well, with xbmc it works. But you can't import xbmc module running python script directly from console - it must be run from Kodi.
You can try
bash:
kodi-send -a "RunScript(/storage/.kodi/userdata/autoexec.py)"
Of course you can use other file not autoexec.py. What you need is probably service addon.

 I don´t understant you,  I want that autoexec.py it to run automatically and be able to know that kodi is streaming video

autoexec.py you posted works (I test it). Not sure if loop there is good idea that's why I propose to you service addon which runs in background.

 ok, thanks, I will do service addon:

I understand that it is not possible to do what I want with the autoexec.py, if someone who reads the publication knows how to do it, please write it

You can't access xbmc* modules from outside Kodi. If you need to control Kodi state from an external application, you can use JSON RPC.
