Need to kill a stream

1st Official Post

    Hi all,

    I have LE 8 and TvH and under certain conditions I want to kill a live TV stream (ie: if a TV channel is streaming). So I can write the script I need to know what to check for and if found what process to kill. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    TIA

    You can probably discover that something is playing via the JSON API but I don't think there's a method to distinguish whether it's playing a TVH stream or some other stream or something from the Library. You'd be better off asking that Q in Kodi forums.

    To get what is played:

    Code
    curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "VideoGetItem", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": ["tvshowid","file","uniqueid"], "playerid": 1}}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

    and to stop it:

    Code
    curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Stop", "params": {"playerid": 1}}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc {"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}
