XBMC - as media center

[Lauri 6]

I thought that it would be nice to share and add and communicate around the XBMC possibilities with HC2.

There is new XBMC Frodo launched and I found some of the commands to send via HC2.

Note - You should change TCP port under virtual device from 8080 to 9090

These are commands that works for me (with beta currently):

Quit jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Application.Quit","id":1}

Home jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Home","id":1}

Update Vid jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Scan","id":1}

Clean Vid jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.Clean","id":1}

Hibernate jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"System.Hibernate","id":1}

Reboot jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"System.Reboot","id":1}

30Sec Forward jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Seek","params":{"playerid":1,"value":"smallforward"}}

30Sec Back jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Seek","params":{"playerid":1,"value":"smallbackward"}}

10Min Forward jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Seek","params":{"playerid":1,"value":"bigforward"}}

10Min Back jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Seek","params":{"playerid":1,"value":"bigbackward"}}

Play/Pause jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.PlayPause","params":{"playerid":1}}

Stop jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Stop","params":{"playerid":1}}

FF jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.SetSpeed","params":{"playerid":1,"speed":"increment"}}

Rew jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.SetSpeed","params":{"playerid":1,"speed":"decrement"}}

Enter jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Select","id":1}

Up jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Up","id":1}

Down jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Down","id":1}

Left jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Left","id":1}

Right jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Right","id":1}

Back jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Back","id":1}

Subtitle Off jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.SetSubtitle","params":{"playerid":1,"subtitle":"off"}}

Subtitle On jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.SetSubtitle","params":{"playerid":1,"subtitle":"on"}}

Select jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Select","id":1}

Suspend jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"System.Suspend","id":1}

Menu jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ContextMenu","id":1}

Info jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Info","id":1}

Show OSD jsonrpc?{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ShowOSD","id":1}

If someone has skills to create such scenes/buttons - play certain playlist(music) or start playing internet radio It would be great!

I'd like to make an wake up scene where light goes on smoothly(sunrise scene) and music starts playing quietly and increases it's volume step by step.

Hi Lauri,

I think you will find that the spadework is already done for you in the Sonos thread by Mark to make use of these.

The patterns he has used should work with small tweaks to JSON for most media players.

There is the issue of no callbacks so using Fibaro as a proper interface will take an external helper library pushing in or polling your player for status. I am not going to work on this myself just now for XBMC or squeezebox or any other media player.

Waiting for some more features.

[Lauri 6]

Hmm.. I tried but didn't get any of them working at the moment.. I'll keep trying.

[robmac 173]

I will try to find time later this month. I have a razb p so it will be a good exercise

[Lauri 6]

Thinking of buying rasperry pi aswell, to use it as media center with xbmc... currently testing things with pc.

[robmac 173]

Yes Razp P looks great.

My interest is that while Logitech has dumped squeeze players, you can use the razp p as a player. So multiroom player for the price of a PI

[Guest skyhooper]

By the way if you use it to control your XBMC from you IPAD or Iphone you have full support remote by xbmc remote and i can suject you Constellation for Ipad.

I'm afraid these do not work with new XBMC Frodo.. They worked fine with last version.

[Guest deraaij]

I also use the json over TCP method with good result for a couple of months.

For me this is working flawlessly with XBMC FRODO and PC. I see that you have Mac? Maybe there is some difference? (but there shouldn't)

For me it works like that. You are sure you enabled it in XBMC?

[jompa68 121]

Works with this command:/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Home","id":1}

and ip + port in virtual device

Hi,

It's doesn't work for me, i have XBMC stable release.

[Guest deraaij]

I used have {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.PlayPause", "params": { "playerid": 1 }, "id": 1} for play pause, IP address xbmc and enabled the settings in xbmc.

[Lauri 6]

Hi,

It's doesn't work for me, i have XBMC stable release.

Is it 12.0 Frodo release or older one? If older, then you have to use these commands:

POST /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SendKey(270) HTTP/1.1

0x0D0x0A

POST /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SendKey(271) HTTP/1.1

0x0D0x0A

POST /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SendKey(256) HTTP/1.1

0x0D0x0A

etc...
