{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[JSON-RPC API]]}}

== Examples ==
These examples take their base from v4. Any that require a higher version will be marked.

=== Introspect ===
If you require more detailed information about an API method use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.Introspect", "params": { "filter": { "id": "AudioLibrary.GetAlbums", "type": "method" } }, "id": 1 }
</syntaxhighlight>
"AudioLibrary.GetAlbums" being the method in this example.
=== What is playing? ===
Commands to control the players in XBMC will only work if that player is currently in use.
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetActivePlayers", "id": 1}
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": [ { "playerid": 0, "type": "audio" } ]}
</syntaxhighlight>
In the above we can see that the audio player is active. It is possible for more than one player to be active: picture and audio.

Now we know which player is active we can query the current item with:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": ["title", "album", "artist", "duration", "thumbnail", "file", "fanart", "streamdetails"], "playerid": 0 }, "id": "AudioGetItem"}
</syntaxhighlight>
or
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": ["title", "album", "artist", "season", "episode", "duration", "showtitle", "tvshowid", "thumbnail", "file", "fanart", "streamdetails"], "playerid": 1 }, "id": "VideoGetItem"}
</syntaxhighlight>

GetItem will ignore any properties that don't make sense for the specific player.

=== Player play/pause ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.PlayPause", "params": { "playerid": 0 }, "id": 1}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Get Properties ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Application.GetProperties", "params": {"properties": ["volume"]}, "id": 1}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Query the libraries ===
Artists
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetArtists", "params": { "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 75 }, "properties": [ "thumbnail", "fanart", "born", "formed", "died", "disbanded", "yearsactive", "mood", "style", "genre" ], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "artist", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": 1}
</syntaxhighlight>
Albums
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetAlbums", "params": { "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 50 }, "properties": ["playcount", "artist", "genre", "rating", "thumbnail", "year", "mood", "style"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "album", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "libAlbums"}
</syntaxhighlight>
Songs
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetSongs", "params": { "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 25 }, "properties": [ "artist", "duration", "album", "track" ], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "track", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "libSongs"}
</syntaxhighlight>
Movies
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "params": { "filter": {"field": "playcount", "operator": "is", "value": "0"}, "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 75 }, "properties" : ["art", "rating", "thumbnail", "playcount", "file"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "label", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "libMovies"}
</syntaxhighlight>
TV Shows
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetTVShows", "params": { "filter": {"field": "playcount", "operator": "is", "value": "0"}, "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 75 }, "properties": ["art", "genre", "plot", "title", "originaltitle", "year", "rating", "thumbnail", "playcount", "file", "fanart"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "label" } }, "id": "libTvShows"}
</syntaxhighlight>
Music Videos
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMusicVideos", "params": { "properties": [ "title", "thumbnail", "artist", "album", "genre", "lastplayed", "year", "runtime", "fanart", "file", "streamdetails" ], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "artist", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "libMusicVideos"}
</syntaxhighlight>
Audio Playlist
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.GetItems", "params": { "properties": ["title", "album", "artist", "duration"], "playlistid": 0 }, "id": 1}
</syntaxhighlight>
Video Playlist
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" enclose="div">
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Playlist.GetItems", "params": { "properties": [ "runtime", "showtitle", "season", "title", "artist" ], "playlistid": 1}, "id": 1}

Total Control provides the ability to control XBMC from a multitude of Unique & Powerful Interfaces. A pre-made driver has been created to assist with programming and a URC Total Control Programmer can generally implement a XBMC Solution on all Interfaces in a matter of minutes. Control is handled through [[JSON-RPC API|XBMC's JSON API]] and is facilitated through the Master Control Processor on the project ([http://www.universalremote.com/product_details.php?id=25&s=residential&c=controllers&p=MRX-10 MRX-10] or MRX-20 (Not Released) as of this article).

Many advanced functions can be built into Total Control. You can integrate almost anything from Lighting to Temperature into your general commands. Have a single button on any of the interfaces listed set your lights, temperatures, shades, or anything else you can imagine. Have the "Pause" button turn on the lights, and much more.

Unlimited Instances of XBMC are supported. Interfaces & Macros are automatically generated (So a device "TV Shows" is placed on the screen which automatically jumps directly to the Turns on the TV, Switches any Inputs, Jumps to the TV Shows Page in XBMC, then lists all the commands that can control your TV Shows/Navigate.

Control Systems are generally professional-level products which can interact with XBMC. They provide the ability to not only control XBMC, but pretty much any other technology in the home as well. Control Systems are generally professional products that require a programmer to customize the system to your needs. XBMC has special integration with various Control Systems. Over time information on each of these integrations will be made available here.

Bradynapier:

Control Systems are generally professional-level products which can interact with XBMC. They provide the ability to not only control XBMC, but pretty much any other technology in the home as well. Control Systems are generally professional products that require a programmer to customize the system to your needs. XBMC has special integration with various Control Systems. Over time information on each of these integrations will be made available here.

<section begin="intro" />In XBMC the primary environment was designed for the living room ([[10-foot interface]]) and controlling it only with a remote control. While XBMC does support mouse, keyboard, and even touch controls, the main method of controlling XBMC is designed around is the typical remote.<section end="intro" />

==Types of remotes==
{{big|
* '''[[Remote controls/MCE|MCE]] -'''}} Infrared remote controls made for computers that follow the MCE standard. These remotes should work with XBMC out-of-the-box on Windows and Linux.

Total Control provides the ability to control XBMC from a multitude of Unique & Powerful Interfaces. A pre-made driver has been created to assist with programming and a URC Total Control Programmer can generally implement a XBMC Solution on all Interfaces in a matter of minutes. Control is handled through [[JSON-RPC API|XBMC's JSON API]] and is facilitated through the Master Control Processor on the project ([http://www.universalremote.com/product_details.php?id=25&s=residential&c=controllers&p=MRX-10 MRX-10] or MRX-20 (Not Released) as of this article).

Many advanced functions can be built into Total Control. You can integrate almost anything from Lighting to Temperature into your general commands. Have a single button on any of the interfaces listed set your lights, temperatures, shades, or anything else you can imagine. Have the "Pause" button turn on the lights, and much more.

Unlimited Instances of XBMC are supported. Interfaces & Macros are automatically generated (So a device "TV Shows" is placed on the screen which automatically jumps directly to the Turns on the TV, Switches any Inputs, Jumps to the TV Shows Page in XBMC, then lists all the commands that can control your TV Shows/Navigate.
