Script when launching and ending browser about xbmc HOT 9 CLOSED

There is no need for that.
You can create one script, that executes some commands, than starts the browser and executes some commands afterwards.

As example:
#!/bin/sh
(Commands)
/usr/bin/google-chrome --kiosk $1
(Commands)

from xbmc.

If you disable remote control in advanced settings, Kodi should not catch the lirc cmds. (If i am not wrong)

from xbmc.

I only want to disable LIRC temporarely during the browser is open.
I did not find a way to do this from outside of kodi.
Maybe you could use parts from here:
https://github.com/AddonScriptorDE/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/pull/4/files?diff=split

from xbmc.

You can disable lirc outside from kodi with folling command:
/usr/bin/kodi-send -a "LIRC.Stop"
and enable with
/usr/bin/kodi-send -a "LIRC.Start"

from xbmc.

The commands above doesn't work?

I have built Kodi from source on Debian Jessie. The command you mean is a small python
program. LIRC.stop disabled the remote, but LIRC.Start did not enable it again. There was
no error, neither in the commandline, not in the log.
A small C++ program linked against xbmcclient did the job. Maybe a bug in the python module?
My Kodi works as expected now. So if you don't want to build in LIRC disable / enable, you can
close this issue.
Otherwise here is the piece of code I wrote. You can use it like the python program.

#include "xbmcclient.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
CAddress my_addr; // Address => localhost on 9777
int sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if (sockfd < 0)
{
printf("Error creating socket\n");
return -1;
}

my_addr.Bind(sockfd);

CXBMCClient Client;
Client.SendACTION(argv[1]);

CPacketBYE bye;
bye.Send(sockfd, my_addr);
}

Thanks for explaining that, i didn't know that's a python app.
But it's strange that is not working, because it does the same like your program.

However, i close this issue.
