XBMC for HCL

[Rami 0]

Hello

I just got my HCL last week and i love it , had a couple of problems at first since i was a veralite user so it supports everything and has a lot of plugins , i'm not into LUA programming so i'm not missing much , for now i'm only missing the Danalock and Remotec AC IR extender compatibility with HCL which are things i can wait for but my main issue here actually is the XBMC plugin support since HCL doesn't use LUA

I saw this topic

Please login or register to see this link.

the virtual device and plugin that Shad did but it was done based on LUA , i believe all the commands are via http so i think it can be compatible with HCL , just need some adjustments to the plugin and the virtual device commands . convert all the LUA commands to HTTP commands ( if possible ) .

I just need a simple setup , i don't really looking for a full XBMC control from Fibaro ( it would be great though ) , but for now i'm looking for a simple lights actions ( turn off when start or play and turn on when pause and stop ) that's it .

So can this be done or the commands won't work unless it's LUA ? i have no programming experience so i don't really know

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Rami

you can use a command line to start a scene and then xbmc.

where the id is the id of the scene you like to start.

This value are for picture in virtual devce. You have setting to put ID of scene. But only 3. Start / pause /stop

Kime , i couldn't get it to work , i'm bad at this . i'll just wait for Shad's plugin update and see .

Shad : Thanks a lot , it could be useful to make another one for the start of XBMC .

If you want unix shell code. You can type it in TextEdit, save it without an extension, and run it (eg by double clicking it in Finder or dragging it from Finder onto your desktop).
