Start CinemaVision Sequence via Kodi RPC API

[FrankMueller 1]

Hi all,

I am trying to start a Cinemavision sequence via the Kodi RPC API. The only thing I can manage is to get to the CinemaVision home screen by using the following JSON RPC message:

{
  method: 'Addons.ExecuteAddon',
   params: {
    addonid: 'script.cinemavision',
    params: [
      ''
    ]
  }
}

 

I wonder what the supported values for the key "params" are. I could not find any documentation on that. My goal is to pass along the name of a preshow sequence and to start the preshow according to the given value.

--> Is there a description on the supported values for the key "params" for CinemaVision?

--> Is it possible to trigger the playback of any sequence (a specific one, or just a default one) via the Kodi JSON RPC API?

Best regards,

Frank.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Ragnarok,

Thanks for your answer. Good to know that this API exists, so when I do everything right it should work. So far I did not succeed. :-/ When I use the example from the link (I changed the sequence name to the one that is actually available in my enviroment) the sequence editor comes up, but playback of the Sequence does not start.

Is it supposed to work to sart the playback of the sequence with that API call, or did I get this feature wrong and it just starts the sequence in the editor? What does the id key refer to?

{ jsonrpc: '2.0',
  method: 'Addons.ExecuteAddon',
  params: { addonid: 'script.cinemavision', params: [ 'adult' ] },
  id: '1' }

Best regards,
Frank.

I realize this is an old post, but is there anyone to choose a sequence with the json cmd? I'm able to run the default sequence but I want to choose a different sequence.
