XML Data Handler Plug-in

From LinuxMCE
Jump to: navigation, search


About

The XML Data Handler Plugin is used by the Tivo and the Moxi Orbiter. We are currently investigating further possible uses.

Preparations

You need to install the "Basic XML Data Source Plug-in". It will also install a related device, the "XML Data Handler Plug-in". We assume device id 262 for the latter in this document.

Supported Datagrids

The following datagrids are supported:

  • "Devices"
  • "CommandGroups"

Using MessageSend to fetch data

We use MessageSend to talk to the XML Data Handler Plugin. The DCE command is 869, as can be seen in the Command Table: 

|        869 | Request XML Data                        |

We request all CommandGroups: 

/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -o 0 262 1 869 15 "CommandGroups" 109 "" 202 ""

We request all Devices: 

/usr/pluto/bin/MessageSend localhost -o 0 262 1 869 15 "Devices" 109 "" 202 ""
