wich user uses this script?, i got a problem now : i stoped using the "kaku" script because it worked terrible, i went to pilight now and made a script wich can be activated with

Terminal

sudo python /home/xbian/lights.py arg

arg can be replaced with "play" "pause" and "stop"
but pilight needs root... so i though maybe i can give wich user uses this script nopwd premission for pilight (i'm not even shure how to do that so i'm going to ask curlymo if doesn't already responses on this thread

luke

-edit-
i made it possible without root using direct path

---

okay... next problem, even tough it logs the items it doesn't seem to execute the script, any ideas?

[CurlyMo]

A XBMC protocol has been added in latest pilight version. That protocol can read the play / pause / stop actions and the media type song / movie / episode.

[lukeg01]

Cool, could you give me a link to the page that shows how to configure it

[CurlyMo]

Not yet done.

[lukeg01]

Than could you tell me how to?

[CurlyMo]

No, not yet, because then i would essentially tell the same thing as i would say in the wiki page.

[lukeg01]

O, okay

[lukeg01]

Still I like to get it functioning this way... What's wrong with the script?

[CurlyMo]

Done, check the pilight wiki.

[lukeg01]

I don't really understand it, where to specify wich units you want to switch

[CurlyMo]

Just adapt one of these clients:

[lukeg01]

Sorry but still Chinese for me :-D is there also a way you can execute a script with pilight's xbmc plugin?
