It's not necessarily anything to do with the email part of your code. It would help if you post the error message you get. However, I suspect it's a syntax error. You may need an encoding declaration at the top of your code. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6289474/working-with-utf-8-encoding-...

Nice. Hadn't seen that before. Pretty neat answer. I think the only difference between that and the option in my post is that printing the AutoVivifcation object (using your values) would just print {'y': {'d': 'c'}, 'x': {'y': 'a', 'z': 'b'}} as it is essentially still a dict rather than a defaultd...

That looks pretty smart. Certainly way more professional looking than the Information Screen I put together (but then it was designed for much smaller screens).

Great work.

How does your phone come into this?

We're looking at controlling XBMC with GPIO buttons on the Pi. As XBMC is on the same machine as the GPIO buttons I would hope that you could just use "http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc" as your url.

elParaguayo

Yes, you'd need to declare each level unless you use the class on my earlier post. If you only need to do it once then it's probably but with using the separate class.

But just do what you're happy with.

elParaguayo

Another way of doing this is by subclassing the dict as follows (I take no credit for writing this code by the way - see this post on stackoverflow): class AutoVivification(dict): """Implementation of perl's autovivification feature.""" def __getitem__(self, item): try: return dict.__getitem__(self,...

elParaguayo

You're trying to do two things which are incompatible. You can't use the GPIO script within XBMC because it needs root privileges. That, in turn, means you can't use the xbmc module. However, you can use the eventclient script that I provided a link to in my earlier post or JSON. JSON is really the ...

Your Main class has a method called "reset_currentgame" but the error says your script is trying to call "reset_current_game". You just need to make sure you're being consistent. Don't worry, this will happen lots of times when you start out. The more errors you see, the easier you'll find it to deb...

Nice!

Sometimes when I'm writing code I think that clean prompt after I import my code is the most beautiful sight. I need to get out more...

If you've got a button hooked up to your pins just try some really raw code in the python shell to see if it's working.

I had a quick look at the code on that page. Are you sure it's displayed correctly? It looks like there's an indentation error following a "while True:" statement where the following line is not indented appropriately. The Try... Except... blocks look odd too. it seems to go Try... Try... Except... ...

elParaguayo

Is that code an actual copy and paste? Looks like there are indentation errors in the "while True" block and your kill command looks wrong - I assume you mean "sudo killall mpg321". Also, you don't need the semicolon after your sleep command. The script will, when indented properly, apparently run t...

rafalybelen,

Can you copy your exact code into your post. It looks like there's a comment after the "open" command. My guess is that you've got a Spanish word there "podrá" and that's causing the error.

elParaguayo

Yes. The "while True:" line is the start of the loop. Everything in that block will keep on repeating. As a result, your second while loop doesn't get called. Quick example: from time import sleep while True: print "This is loop 1" sleep(1) while True: print "This is loop 2" sleep(1) #If you run thi...

elParaguayo

The code for the second button needs to be in the same while loop otherwise it won't get called.

elParaguayo

OK - it sounds like that script is probably exactly what you need... In answer to your questions: 1) You can put the script wherever you like. You'll need to call it from outside of XBMC in order to give it root privileges, so, for that reason, you might want to keep it outside of the XBMC folder. 2...

elParaguayo

Firstly, apologies for unwittingly changing the topic of this thread!

Back to the original topic... Visser, if you're still having problems can you paste your latest code and we'll take a look. Thanks.

elParaguayo

OK. Step back. Why don't you explain exactly what you're trying to do. autoexec.py was an old way for scripts to run when starting XBMC. This has now been replaced by services. However, given that you're looking to use GPIO, you're probably best doing this in a script outside of XBMC as the script n...

Try using an array. led_pin = [23, 24, 25, 17, 27] Reference each element with for i in range(0,5): GPIO.output(led_pin[i],True) sleep(1) GPIO.output(led_pin[i],False) I hate to change some of Dougie's code as I'm sure he knows far more than I do about programming, however this bit of code is, to m...

elParaguayo

OK. So this script is meant to control XBMC (or, as it's now apparently called, Kodi...) Therefore the url needs to point to the web address of your XBMC server (assuming you've enabled access via HTTP in XBMC). There is a line in the script url = 'http://192.168.1.138:8888/jsonrpc' So you need to c...

elParaguayo

That's probably your problem then. You can't send a key to a program that's no longer running.

Are you sure mplayer is still running? If I recall correctly, I've seen broken pipe messages when the process has actually closed.

elParaguayo

That's strange. I've never had a problem with pygame printing the "%" sign. This post shows the chance of rain printed with the % sign. The code for those lines was: weatherpop = "Rain: " + hourly["pop"] + "%" poplabel = self.myfont.render(weatherpop, 1, (255, 255, 255)) hourrect.blit(poplabel, (10,...

elParaguayo

Your code as it is would, I think, cause both files to play at the same time. If you're only going to play one sound at a time, I'd probably set the number of channels to 1. Also, if you just want to play each sound, instead of doing this: while index<=len(sounds_list): sounda=pygame.mixer.Sound(sou...

elParaguayo

Do you want both of those sounds to play at the same time? When you say plays on all 8 channels at once, what do you mean? My understanding was that the pygame mixer would just load a new sound into the next available channel. In your code you create some sound objects, but you're not capturing the ...

elParaguayo

You can do it like this: import pygame from time import sleep # intialise mixer pygame.mixer.init() # Load the sound file snd = pygame.mixer.Sound("/path/to/sound/file") # Play the file and put it into a channel object channel = snd.play() # Mute left speaker channel.set_volume(1,0) sleep(2) # Mute ...
