Command to get current playing filename (not title) - Flash3d - 2021-12-12
Hi, I'm looking for a command to get the current playing filename (so not just the currently playing movie title).
Example: moviename 1080p DTSHD.mkv
Is there a (curl?) command I can use? Preferable a command with username and password in the example.
Something I could use in Home Assistant? Would love to run a script from HA to get the current playing filename from Kodi.
There is a Kodi integration in HA but that shows the movie title and not the filename.
Tia.

python:
jsonRequest = xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": {"properties": ["file"], "playerid": 1}}')
filePath = json.loads(jsonRequest.encode("utf-8"))["result"]["item"]["file"]
fileName = os.path.basename(filePath)
http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": {"properties": ["file"], "playerid": 1}}

Thank you very much!! that works.
Now the next step is getting the "file" data into Home Assistant, will post a question on the HA forum.

How would one do this in BASH from an RPi4 running Raspbian ?
Thanks
