[lukeg01]

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
