Retrieve stream info(aka bitrate, dropped frames, skipped frames, etc) from cli/json?

Is the topic possible?

Like when you push O or Shift O on keyboard you get stats along the top, can this be retrieved via command line via json or via any other method?

Ive looked through the json docs, but cant seem to find how to retrieve the info.  (I dont want to show the info on the display, I want to retrieve it so it can be used later)

Thank you.

Settings > Interface > Screensaver > DIM  allow more dim than 20%, I would like 10%

Basically, I want to be able to Dim the display more than the current limit of 20%, I am thinking probably 10% is what I am after but its hard to no for sure without being able to try anything past 20%

What I am trying to achieve is a screen that is so dim that you can read the text and tell that it is on, but just barely, right now its still a bit too bright at 20%.

v18 - Subtitle doesn't show

I have a TV show that has subtitle track encoded, it's a non-forced subtitle track. Each time I play it, the subtitle won't show. I enable the subtitle from the Subtitle Settings dialog, then the subtitle shows. But next time I play the file, it still doesn't show. And the enable subtitle option in Subtitle Settings dialog is turned off automatically. I tested forced subtitle track, it works as expected.

Why enable subtitle option in Subtitle Settings dialog can be turned on/off automatically based on file played? Isn't it an user's choice? I want to turn on subtitle for all my movies/TV shows by default, is there any way to do this?

Scan for new content doesn't work

Hi

I'm using the newest version of Kodi (downloaded today)
I'm using an AdvancedSettings.xml to connect to a existing Database
I have added the path to my TV Shows under Video -> Files ...

Then I have added a new season to the harddisk drive. But I dont get the new episides into Kodi!

I've tried right click on the TV Show and press scan for new content. I starts scanning but then suddenly stops, clearly some kind of exception condition, but no error message are shown. 
The I've tried to open the TV Show and press refresh. No new episodes.
Then I've tried to goto the Video --> Files --> and then into my TV Shows and find the TV Show and then right click and press scan for new content. Then it finds the first episodes and ignores the rest. Again no error message are shown.

When I look in the log it says 
"No information found for item 'smb://DELLSERVER/TV SERIER/A Place to call Home/', it won't be added to the library."
The episodes ARE available at The TVDB : https://www.thetvdb.com/series/a-place-t.../seasons/6

But if I use Windows explorer to look at the given folder there are 6 seasons.

So ion short: How do I add Season 6 of A place to call Home to the Kodi Library?

v18 - Library fetching at load and no visualizations during a mixed playlist

Using kodi 18, beta 2 64 bit (non windows store version) on windows 10 I load a mixed playlist containing music files and music videos.

When I open the playlist I get a screen "fetching information" even though all items are in the library/libraries already.

After a music video when a music file is next in the playlist the screen goes black and only music can be heard. In Krypton the music visualization and "music information" (hope it's the correct word, what shows music title etc) kicked in.

Here is a log:

How to kill hung channel from keyboard? Remote back button works.

Many TV channels just get hung (bad URL) and it takes a while (60sec?) to get back the menu after the time out.

On my Amlogic TV box remote, I can just press the back button and I get back the menu right away.

How could I do that on a keyboard? Or is there a time out setting somewhere?

The right way to use xbmc.Playlist for video items

September 22, 2018, 4:14 am
$

Originally I thought you had to assemble the Playlist after Play()-ing an item, but no. You're supposed to add items to the video Playlist while listing your directory, not on a "resolve" or playback function:
myPlaylist = xbmc.PlayList(xbmc.PLAYLIST_VIDEO) # Get a reference to the "current video playlist", as they call it.

myPlaylist.clear() # Clear it (in case it already had content).



# (...)

# Then while creating your directory items:



myItem = xbmcgui.ListItem(name)

myItem.setArt({...})

myItem.setInfo('video', infoLabels={...})

myItem.setProperty('IsPlayable', 'true')



myPlaylist.add(myUrl, myItem) # <------- Add to the playlist.



xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(int(sys.argv[1]), url = myUrl, listitem = myItem, isFolder = False) # Or addDirectoryItems() all of them at once.

xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]))
This is the right way to do it.
Then while viewing the directory, the user can press LEFT (sometimes UP depending on the layout mode) to open the settings sideblade where they can choose "Actions: Go To Playlist" to view the playlist that you set up, where they can choose shuffle, repeat one/all/off, etc. and play the items in the list.
The documentation wasn't clear on how to use it, I understood it after seeing the YouTube add-on.

Have a good one.

Good morning all,

I am trying to load KODI vía Xcode to my new iPhone XS Max and I am getting an error that says the app is not compatible with the CPU type.
Did something change with the new iPhones?
While I understand stand we iOS users are very few, I also know those of us with the new iPhones are even less. Though my question is if a fix for this would be coming at some point.
Thanks

v17 - "Bodyguard (2018)" doesn't get properly recognised

Im running kodi 17.6 and my TV information provider is "The TVDB" (v3.0.9 by team kodi from the oficial repository) Im running on ubuntu 18.04.

In my TV directory I have a subdirectroy named "Bodyguard (2018)" (and its meant to point to this series) and within this there as the episodes named in the format "s01e01 Bodyguard (2018.mkv)".

When kodi adds these to the library, it names them as BG (2018)?

Am I doing something very stupid?

Up to five minute pause when loading TV Shows

September 22, 2018, 8:27 am

OK so here is the situation.  I recently had to rebuild my NAS from a disk failure, I put it all together in the same way, files in the same places, SQL database all the same with the same passwords, etc.  It can access the files, it can play them all, but for whatever reason on both Windows, Android, and Linux versions of Kodi whenever I load into a TV Show it just goes to a black screen showing the background and sits there for up to ten minutes, usually "only" five.  I thought it was maybe some strange thing where it couldn't see the thumbnails correctly (which are hosted on a remote share) or that I had some passwords wrong but I've now gone to the extreme of sitting with two NAS, one configured with an exact restore of my old one, and one with the new setup side by side and gone through every single line of code and there are no differences.  Is there anyway I can see a log of what is happening in Kodi that's causing this massive pause?

Even when a show has been loaded this way you can then play an episode, works fine but when you hit stop and it would normally just jump back to the main screen again with the five minute pause....

I really have to return this second NAS to the mate I borrowed it off and clear all these drives back to normal but I'm paranoid I'm show how missing something!  Anyone got any suggestions?

Request - Can I dismiss a GUI notification using JSON-RPC GUI.ShowNotification?

Hello,

I display notifications using JSON-RPC GUI.ShowNotification().
I wish I could also dismiss on-going notification on-demand (not only after a delay).

I tried sending a notification with displaytime parameter set to 0 but it raises an error.

Any way to do dismiss notification with a JSON-RPC query? Any change to modify GUI.ShowNotification() to get this behavior?

Thank you

iOS - iPhone XS Max screen size issue

Noticed that the main menu and pretty much any other menu screens including the video player don’t fill the screen on the iPhone XS Max using 17.6 (latest revision -4 I believe). Please advise if the 17.6 will not be able to support the screen size as I believe 18.0 may already support it as it was updated for the iPhone X (2017 model). Thank you in advance.

I upgraded from Kodi 17 to Kodi 18 Beta (on Windows platform and last LibreElec 8.90.005), using standard Estuary skin.

Now always after starting Kodi the "TV-Shows" tab is selected as default. In Kodi 17 the "Movies" tab was the default.

How can I change this? I prefer the "Movies" tab as default since I mostly watch movies...

Upgrade a 17.6 Windows 10 install to 18 Beta 2. Tested out some of my files, and some older video camera files no longer play properly (they played on 17.6). Sound plays, but video screen is black. The info and "O" overlays work okay. I believe it is something to do with MJPEG codec.

skinning artist sortname and listitem.label / listitem.property(artist_sortname)

September 22, 2018, 2:31 pm

OK, as soon as I posted this I thought some more and of course figured out an answer for myself:

Use System.GetBool(musiclibrary.useartistsortname) and then use ListItem.Label or ListItem.Property(Artist_Sortname) as desired.

Original post:
So now we have ability to alpha sort artists using sortname in settings.  But in lists skins typically show listitem.label as the "main" list identifier.  I don't see any way (without using something like skin.helper.service) to get the status of the setting.  If we had a way to get the setting in a skin, we could show ListItem.Property(artist_sortname) (which BTW, needs to be added to the wiki). Alternatively use the sortname as the ListItem.Label.

Hi

After troubleshooting, if I use this folder name (inside I have the .mkv and the .nfo file with imdb url):

"Dina 2017 LIMITED Movies DVDRip x264 AAC with Sample"

movie is not recognized by scrapper

Anything else seems to work, like ""Dina 2017 LIMITED Movies DVDRip x264 AAC with Sampl", or ""Dina 2017 LIMITED Movies DVDRip x264 AAC with Sampla"

Logs don't say much. 

What could the problem be?
