Send "Pause/Play" via action File to Kodi

[Dreamaxx Premium Cinema]

Hello,

I want to send Kodi via PSE action Module to Pause or Play the movie.

Her is my File but it doesn´t work. I think that file is wrong. Can anybody help me with the file?

Thanks in advance...

I write in my action file:

POST:http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/jsonrpc -u kodi:password -d {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.PlayPause","params":{"playerid":0,"play":false},"id":1}

Is there a reason why you want to use an action file to play/pause and not the remote (or phone/keyboard)?

I would like to automatically pause the player after a specified time and start it again after a certain time.

I do it a few years ago. but since Kodi 18 I think the http funktion doesn´t work. But I think there is a chance.

Basically, I had built in a 10 minute break for longer films. A notification was displayed, the projector was switched to sleep mode and the light was dimmed slightly. It would be a shame if it didn't work anymore. Actually, it can't be that difficult to send a command to Kodi via PSE.

The code that you want is something along the lines of:

sleep://3600000

http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

sleep://600000

http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

Add other functions a you want. 

Make sure you have your system set up to allow this in settings > services > control.

Thank You very much. I will try it tomorrow.

Hello, Now I finally got around to testing the script.

I put it in front of the feature in PSE as a script.pseaction file. If I go to action and test in edit sequence, it shows that everything is ok.

But if I let it run with a film, the pause doesn't work. Nothing happens.

 

I have enabled “Allow control via http” in Kodi. Have I perhaps forgotten something? Have you an Idea?

 

Another question would be, is it possible to display a reference to the break as an image.jpg before the break? Something Like this:

sleep://3600000

http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params": {"image":"image://test//hdr10.png", "displaytime":5000 },"id":"0}

sleep://2000

http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

sleep://600000

http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

I test a little bit and Matts pseaction file is running perfect. My fault, I test first with the default Sequence and that doesn´t work. If I test it with a new Sequence everything is running perfekt. I can also show a notification, but if anyone has an idea, how to show a image.jpg, I´m absolutely happy.

Here is the pseaction Test with Notification before the Pause:

sleep://20000

http://kodi:kodi@192.0.0.0:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"Pause","message":"10 Minuten","displaytime":7000},"id":0}

sleep://2000

http://kodi:kodi@192.0.0.0:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

sleep://20000

http://kodi:kodi@192.0.0.0:8080/jsonrpc
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0}

Can someone at least tell me where I can find the KaiDialogToast.xml? Or, if this doesn't exist, as in my case, tell me what the xml is called with which I can influence the GUI.ShowNotification.

In any case, KaiDialogToast.xml cannot be found under: \\SHIELD\internal\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml.

Thank you

Are you trying to show an image for the intermission with GUI.ShowNotification?  If so, I think that the only image in the notification is the icon.  

[Dreamaxx]

Ah okay, thanks for this Info. And where can I find the Image and what‘s the name of the Image? 

[Matt]

I think that the file you want to edit is DialogNotification.xml.  

[Dreamaxx Premium Cinema]

It´s running. great thanks
