read out XBMC play, pause stop status

[mk01]

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:

JUST ONE CORRECTION INDEED:

case $UPSTART_EVENT in => case $UPSTART_EVENTS in

eventS, not event. everywhere else is correct.
