Check KODI

Hey there,

I would like to know, if there is any deamon or service, to check if KODI is already running or still running?
I have build a "childrens-player" without a monitor. And if possible, I would like to use a LED, like a heardbeat to show whether KODI is running or not.

Probably exsists a manual. But I don´t know what to look for.

Thanks a lot!

Da Flex : Yes, I´m using a RPi 3B+.

The reason why I want to know the status is because the RPi is inside a wodden box (Radio). And I could not see the onboard status-LED.

If I trigger an LED from autostart.sh I know that the autostart-script is loaded. But I also want to know if KODI is loaded.

I found this @ Mit Python einen service status abfragen - Das deutsche Python-Forum

@HightronicDesign: Wie Dav1d schrieb hat `systemd` eine DBus-API. Es gibt mit `python-systemd` eine API die darauf aufbaut.

Code: Alles auswählen

#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding: utf8
from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function
from systemd.manager import Manager


def main():    manager = Manager()    unit = manager.get_unit('mediacenter.service')    is_active = unit.properties.ActiveState == 'active'    print(is_active)


if __name__ == '__main__':    main()

Anstelle des `mediacenter.service` mit dem ich das auf meinem OSMC-Raspi getestet habe, müsstest Du da den Service-Namen eintragen den Du testen möchtest.

Would that be a start?

Thank you for helping me!
