I have a Python addon where I am using the following JSON RPC call to play a URL. 

xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"Player.Open",  "params":{"item":{"file":%s }},"id":1}' % (itemurl))  

It works fine but I'd like to add a poster / icon to the player and maybe substitute a different name other than the URL, like playing a ListItem.  Can the poster and name be set via an RPC call ?  I haven't been able to find an example or anything in the documentation.  If so, is it set before or after calling the player ?


Thanks,

Jeff

Looking back through this topic I see that this question has been asked multiple times here without an answer.  I decided to abandon the JSON RPC approach for now and just use the traditional listitem approach with xbmc.Player().play(itemurl, listitem) and listitem.setArt  .  It works perfectly.
