Is "Player Process Info" command working in LE 9.2.6?

  • Hello,

    I am on latest LibreElec 9.2.6 with an RPi4 b that has 8gb memory.

    Long time user with Kodi. Works great...

    My question is if the "Player Process Info" should work in 9.2.6?

    It works on other installs that use the Leia 18.9 build.

    The json that used to do this is called "Show Codec" in my set up and has this json command:

    jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ShowCodec","id":1}

    I noticed that this appears to have been changed in Leia?

    So are there any new code bits or special tricks with the LibreElec version to see the Player Process Info?

    Many thanks!

  • My question is if the "Player Process Info" should work in 9.2.6?

    It should work on every Kodi installation.

    With a normal USB keyboard connected, try pressing CTRL-SHIFT-O.

    The codec info is shown using only the letter 'o'.

  • Yes I can confirm it works fine if you push 'o' button on keyboard, it can also be displayed / hide with console commands:

    kodi-send -a 'Playerprocessinfo'

    or

    kodi-send --button=o

    The debug info can be activated / deactivated through CTRL+SHIFT+O

    or by:

    kodi-send -a 'PlayerDebug'

    Thanks! After this comment I tried another USB keyboard and then it worked.

    I'm an idiot and should have tried that some more before posting ;)

    Was also a little confused by the fact that you can not activate CTRL-SHIFT-O after 'o' but you can activate 'o' after CTRL-SHIFT-O.

    Anyway, I built and tested the new json command for 'Player Process Info' if someone comes here searching for it:

    This works in 18.9:

    jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ShowPlayerProcessInfo","id":1}

    But have so far been unsuccessful in building the 'Show codec' command, equiv of CTRL-SHIFT-O.

    It is not:

    jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ShowCodec","id":1} as I would perhaps expected

    Have also tried sending the key command over JSON but no luck so far.

    Any chance of a hint on what the new JSON command is for that particular function should be in Leia?

    Many thanks again!

  • The debug info can be activated / deactivated through CTRL+SHIFT+O

    or by:

    kodi-send -a 'PlayerDebug'

    Thanks. Would you know if that command could be formatted for a JSON string?

    I tried this with no luck:

    jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"PlayerDebug","id":1}

    Many thanks.
