read out XBMC play, pause stop status - lukeg01 - 25th Jan, 2014 07:56 PM

hello,
i'm working on comining home automitation and media, i found this little script

#!/bin/bash
xbmcurl="http://pc-tv/jsonrpc"

previousvideoplaying=0
while [ 1 ]
do

wget -q -O- --header='Content-Type: application/json' --post-data='{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetActivePlayers", "id": 1}' $xbmcurl | grep -v '"video"' > /dev/null
video=$?
wget -q -O- --header='Content-Type: application/json' --post-data='{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetProperties", "params": { "playerid": 1, "properties": ["speed"] }, "id": 1}' $xbmcurl | grep '"speed":0' > /dev/null
playing=$?
#echo "video=$video playing=$playing"

if [ $video == 1 ] && [ $playing = 1 ]; then
# echo "Video Playing!"
if [ $previousvideoplaying == 1 ]; then
echo "Video Playing, dimming ligths!"
kaku 123 1 dim 4
fi
previousvideoplaying=1
else
if [ $previousvideoplaying == 1 ]; then
echo "Video Stopped, brighting ligths!"
kaku 123 1 dim 8;

previousvideoplaying=0
fi

done

it only keeps saying "video playing, dimming lights" and dimm my light, i'm running
433Mhzdeamon in no hup ( https://github.com/jeroensteenhuis/433mhzforrpi )

am i missing anything?

luke,

XBian has in core system whole workflow already based on XBMC events.

check /var/log/upstart-xbmc-bridge.log file and you will see generated upstart events.
line like this

Code:

23/01/2014 20:53:08 Send event: ['initctl', 'emit', '-n', 'player', 'ACTION=STOP', 'TYPE=episode']

means there was generated event "player" with action "stop" and the played item was "episode" (tv show).

check

Code:

/usr/local/sbin/upstart-xbmc-bridge.py

for short howto

okay, i'm terrible noob, if you can please make me a verry basic script, i can fill it with thing i learned from xbmc-bridge but i dont think i can do it alone...

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - mk01 - 26th Jan, 2014 03:26 AM

then start with something like this

create /etc/init/xbmc-events.conf

Code:

start on screensaver or player or library

task

script

    case $UPSTART_EVENTS in

         screensaver)

                 ;;

         player)

                 if [ $ACTION = START ]; then

                     echo "Video Playing, dimming ligths!"

                      kaku 123 1 dim 4

                 else

                      echo "Video Stopped, brighting ligths!"

                      kaku 123 1 dim 8;

                 fi

                 ;;

         library)

                 ;;

         *)

               ;;

     esac

end script

okay, how to start it? sudo ./ says commands not found
when i took a look at the event file i saw you could specify the type playing (tv show movie audio)
then i can set that playing movie won't kill the lights, and if i want to set another value like pause , would it be

if [ $ACTION = START ]; then
echo "Video Playing, dimming ligths!"
kaku 123 1 dim 4
elseif [$ACTION = PAUSE]; then
echo "video paused, brighting lights!"
kaku 123 1 dim 7
else
echo "Video Stopped, brighting ligths!"
kaku 123 1 dim 8;
fi

i know that in this case it doesn't matter much but its more for understanding what i write...

Thanks a lot

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - mk01 - 26th Jan, 2014 05:17 AM

yes. you got the point.

it is more than likely that there are even more types XBMC is sending, …

you can put before the "case" statement like:

Code:

echo "$(date) $UPSTART_EVENTS $ACTION $TYPE >> /tmp/events.log

and you will see all what you received

Hmm how to start te script?

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - mk01 - 26th Jan, 2014 05:23 AM

there is nothing to start. it will be started when needed.

XBMC send event -> xbmc-bridge-upstart.py receives -> xbmc-bridge-upstart.py transforms and created UPSTART event -> upstart knows from the .conf file that that one is interested in events screensaver, player, library and will run the script. the
script will immediately finish and wait for next event

Hmmm il try again tomorrow didnt't work, maybe a typo in the command...
And how to specify play type (audio movie tv show)

Edit: shouldn't there be a ";" after the first time dim 4 ?

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - lukeg01 - 26th Jan, 2014 05:46 PM

Olay, i edited the script with the given log code ( i only changed it to log to my home dir)
It's added with this post, did I do it wrong , it doesn't make a log after watching a movie?

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - mk01 - 26th Jan, 2014 11:10 PM

we forgot to make the variables available to script:

Code:

env UPSTART_EVENTS

env ACTION 

env TYPE

put it anywhere outside the "script ….. end script" definition

(i updated the original post for reference)

It still doesn't work?
Where to put the log rule, then i can see if it at least recieve the status change

RE: read out XBMC play, pause stop status - mk01 - 3rd Feb, 2014 06:32 AM

check /run/upstart-ev.log

in that file you will see EACH job and its state changes when triggered. that means, you should at least see that it is being called. I just copied the script from my post #5, saved under the name as shown there and started a video. immediately I have events generated.

Code:

86 4753.61 started xbmc-events                      0.23 0.55 0.81 4/197 4929

JUST ONE CORRECTION INDEED:

case $UPSTART_EVENT in => case $UPSTART_EVENTS in

eventS, not event. everywhere else is correct.
