Custom buttons based on existing button art? How can I get the .png files out of irule so that I can edit the graphics for a button? There are copy/paste options, but it won't work if I try to paste into photoshop? I'm sure I'm missing something...

thanks

Hi all. Anyone interested in JSON RPC control of XBMC.

I figured it out. You need to send commands to port 9090 in NETWORK GATEWAY.

jsonrpc/{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Right","id":1} is the command in the builder for Cursor Right.

To get a list of suport command for your instance of XBMC you can send a command jsonrpc/{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"JSONRPC.Introspect","id":1} through Simple REST Client browser addon.
Need to set it to POST.


Over Port 9090 XBMC auto sends feedback so that is for me to tackle next.

First thing I noticed is that some of my landscape pages are out of proportion, ie, some of my buttons are half off the screen. I can fix that easily. But now when I link from one page to a diff panel/page, the default iRule "back" button is not in its usual upper right hand corner location. Anyone know where it went? It works fine in my iPad versions.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Can someone please inform me how to set 2 two feedback using boxes box. Like has been here. Do I need rule builder pro and search for boxes feedback or do I need to create a link adding JSON RPC or HTTP API?

A little help would be great I have searched everywhere but can not figure it out.

Thanks in advance...

Sounds like it's all possible just wanted to see if anyone else had done something like that yet.

I'm looking at using this to control 6-7 rooms/displays with 16 sources through matrix switches, cat6 hdmi extenders and so on.

Is there any communication as to the status of the setup between remotes? If I made such a command could each room switch to the panel for the "digital signage" input or highlight that icon?

Edit - also being an android/winmo person i've literally never had an iOS device before... Is there a way to lock the device down so that it can't be tampered with? Like have just one screen with the iRule app in the center, and the OS settings / other apps behind a password protected screen? Needs to be usable by the general public basically. (may have a retail alarm system attached for theft prevention)

Read the tutorial. You need the Pro version. This is the answer I got from Irule :To test all the feedback coming in you can create a new feedback by clicking on Actions and then Create Item under Feedbacks tab. Assign this feedback to your device as per tutorial. Then right mouse button click on the word Textual and then click on Add Code. Then right mouse button click on Textual Code and click on Add Value. Single click on Value and then go to the bottom left hand pane of the builder, which is the properties pane. In it, you should see Name, Description, Target Value, and Replace With. Put * into the Target Value. What this will do is bring you back all the feedback that the Theta is sending so that you can see the format. Now just drag and drop the feedback item, as per tutorial onto the GUI an d sync. Please be aware that a lot of devices only send feedback as a response to a command so you may not see any feedback until you press a volume or input buttons.
You can also figure out the feedback format from the RS232 codes documentation.

There is a Boxee Http Device in the user database that works.

However it is pretty basic command set (Up, down, left, right, select, play, pause, stop, skip big forward, skip big back, skip small forward, skip small back, and some library updates)

No progress on feedback yet though.

Could you share the full command formatting structure for JSON RPC in the forum for future ref.

I added Direct TV all channels HTTP and Direct TV Satellite H and HR Series all models just lost how to go from there. Spent some time a year ago setting everything up but then family got in the way and now trying to figure things out a year later and I am just completely lost.....

appreciate any input / link to good posts
