Enhancement - "Play Using" Context Menu Option for UPNP client playback. #51

Closed sbuser closed 1 month ago

sbuser commented 10 years ago

I have multiple XBMC instances and generally find controlling them with your app to be a great experience. It would become a fantastic experience if I could use the upnp options which work from the applications on the ios app.

If I'm controlling XBMC from a computer I can simply get a context menu and play back to any of my XBMC devices seamlessly. I don't have to keep multiple libraries, update them all, etc. I just use one central device and play to the devices I'm interested in.

This should be a simple as adding an option to the context menu in the ios app that one currently gets to play the file - just add a play-to for each upnp client.

Thanks!

hello!

actually I have no clue on how to accomplish the task you are asking for, I mean which API I should use? you wrote simple 'cause you have already looked into the feasibility? Have you some snippets to show me?

Sadly I looked into this in greater detail after posting (I should have investigated first, sorry) - and the JSONRPC API doesn't appear to support the functionality that's available in the main application. It is there in the trunk and available to be added to the API but I haven't the technical skill to add it.

Again: sorry for posting before investigating. I assumed it was available based on old "Play To" functionality in the API which was for apps and doesn't appear to be associated with UPNP. Hopefully someone with more skill than I will make it available for you to add - it would make controlling multiple libraries and devices so, so much easier.

The Kodi API still does not support this.

@kambala-decapitator: Do you agree to close this?
