Help displaying image with GUI.ShowNotification - teriyaki - 2021-04-23
I'm trying to display a local image file (/test/hdr10.png) and if I've read correctly, using the GUI.ShowNotification method is what to use. The exactly call I'm using is:
Quote:curl -s -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" "http://test:test@localhost:8080/jsonrpc" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "1", "method": "GUI.ShowNotification", "params": { "title":"test title", "message":"test message", "image":"image://test//hdr10.png", "displaytime":5000 } }'It's not working however and the logfile shows:
Code:
ERROR <general>: DoWork - Direct texture file loading failed for test
DEBUG <general>: GetImageHash - unable to stat url testThe image /test/hdr10.png is:
Code:
Format : PNG
Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic
Format_Compression : Deflate
Width : 256 pixels
Height : 256 pixels
Color space : RGBA
Bit depth : 8 bits
Compression mode : Lossless
Stream size : 77.6 KiB (100%)Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Also, where is the image displayed? Does it just replace the little info/warning/error icons on either side of the message?

Yes, it does only replace the icon.
Use the builtin ShowPicture(picture) command.

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't only want to display the image however, I also want a message included and want the whole thing to have a short timelimit. Do you know what I have wrong in the rpc call from my original post?

I have no idea if you can actually just load a local image but if it is supported your path is wrong:
image://test//hdr10.png resolves to test//hdr10.png which is a relative path. What you want would be image:///test/hdr10.png. But again I have no idea if this is supported by the image:// handler.

the field name "image" is mislead - the JSON-RPC API/v10 states the image is actually an enum to show an icon of the following types: info, warning, error
See schema: https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v10#GUI.ShowNotification
