Kodi http requests @action files

[ostfriesenkopp 0]

Dear all,

does anyone know the http request commands  which i have to add to an Action file in order to let kodi pause video Playback and resume it some seconds later?

What i want to do is to switch off the philips hue lights slowly. After this is done, the Video starts. At the Moment the Video starts while the lights are going off slowly...

http://api/internal-ip/sername/groups/7/action

PUT:{"on":false,"transitiontime":90}

kodi: pause

sleep://8500

kodi: play 

Does this work?

Best, Helge

Hey Helge,

This might simplify it for you. Instead of sending pause/play commands to Kodi, just sleep the Action until the lights finish dimming. The 90 second transition time translates to 90000 milliseconds. Try this:

http://<hue-bridge-ip>/api/<hue-bridge-user>/groups/<hue-light-group>/action
PUT:{"on":false,"transitiontime":90}

sleep://90000

This should time it so the Action "completes" right when the lights have dimmed fully.

Hi there,

thanks. One last question (atm): How do I integrate the pause/resume/break sequences/Action files for the Feature presentation?

Kind regards, Helge

Sure thing! You'll find the Pause/Resume/Abort actions in the CinemaVision Add-on Settings under the Actions menu.
