An up to date list of built-in functions can be found in the function CUtil::ExecBuiltIn() in the source code file xbmc/Util.cpp.

In addition to the following list, for most <onclick> and <onfocus> button actions in the skin you can also use the functions from Keymap.xml.
Example:
<onclick>VolumeUp</onclick>
<onclick>VolumeDown</onclick>

You can use parameters with all media windows, as can be seen here:


XBMC.Reboot Cold reboots the system (power cycle)
XBMC.Restart Cold reboots the system (power cycle)
XBMC.ShutDown Trigger default Shutdown action defined in System Settings, Default Powerdown on Xbox and Quit on Linux / OSX / Windows
XBMC.Powerdown Powerdown system
XBMC.Suspend

Suspends (S3 / S1 depending on bios setting) the System (not working on Xbox due to hardware limitations)

XBMC.Hibernate

Hibernate (S5) the System (not working on Xbox due to hardware limitations)

XBMC.Quit

Quits XBMC (same as XBMC.Dashboard on Xbox)

XBMC.Dashboard

Runs the dashboard, as specified in the GUI Settings (Xbox specific)

XBMC.RestartApp Restarts XBMC
XBMC.Credits Runs the Credits
XBMC.Reset Warm reboots the xbox
XBMC.ActivateWindow(window,dir)

Opens the given window. The parameter window can either be the window's id, or in the case of a standard window, the window's name. See here for a list of window names, and their respective ids. If, furthermore, the window is Music, Video, Pictures, or Program files, then the dir parameter specifies which folder XBMC should default to once the window is opened. This must be a <source> as specified in Sources.xml, or a subfolder of a valid source. Lastly, the special command XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyFiles,autodetection) opens the filemanager with the autodetected xbox in the left hand pane.

XBMC.ReplaceWindow(window,dir) Replaces the current window with the given window. This is the same as ActivateWindow() but it doesn't update the window history list, so when you go back from the new window it will not return to the previous window, rather will return to the previous window's previous window.
XBMC.RunScript(script[,args]*) Runs the python script. You must specify the full path to the script, or use Q:\Scripts\Scriptname.py. As of 2007/02/24, all extra parameters are passed to the script as arguments and can be accessed by python using sys.argv
XBMC.RunXBE(xbe) Runs the xbe. Full path must be specified.
XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin) Runs the plugin. Full path must be specified. Does not work for folder plugins
XBMC.PlayMedia(media) Plays the media. This can be a playlist, music, or video file or an Url.
XBMC.SlideShow(recursive,[not]random,dir) Starts a slideshow of pictures in the folder dir. As of rev 14683, the dir parameter may be preceded with "recursive", and "random" or "notrandom" parameters. The "recursive" parameter starts a recursive slideshow, adding images from sub-folders. The "random" and "notrandom" parameters override the Randomize setting found in the pictures media window.
XBMC.RecursiveSlideShow(dir) Starts a recursive slideshow (including any images in subfolders) of the folder dir.
XBMC.ReloadSkin() Reloads the current skin – useful for skinners to use after they upload modified skin files (saves power cycling).
XBMC.PlayerControl(command) Allows control of music and videos. The command may be one of Play, Stop, Forward, Rewind, Next, Previous, BigSkipForward, BigSkipBackward, SmallSkipForward, SmallSkipBackward, Random, Repeat, RepeatOne, RepeatAll, RepeatOff, Partymode(music) or Partymode(video) or Partymode(path to .xsp file), and Record. Play will either pause, resume, or stop ffwding or rewinding. Random toggles random playback, Repeat cycles through the repeat modes, Partymode(music/video) toggles the appropriate partymode, defaults to music if no parameter is given, besides the default music or video partymode you can also pass a path to a custom smartplaylist (.xsp) as parameter. Record will work to record shoutcast streams (only?).
XBMC.EjectTray() Either opens or closes the DVD tray, depending on it's current state.
XBMC.AlarmClock(name,command,time) Pops up a dialog asking for the length of time for the alarm (unless the parameter time is specified), and starts a timer. When the timer runs out, it'll execute the built-in command (the parameter command) if it is specified, otherwise it'll pop up an alarm notice.
XBMC.CancelAlarm(name) Cancel a running alarm.
XBMC.Notification(header,message[,time,image]) Will display a notification dialog with the specified header and messag, in addition you can set the length of time it displays and a icon image.
XBMC.PlayDVD Will play the inserted CD or DVD media from the DVD-ROM drive.
Skin.SetBool(setting)

Sets the skin setting “setting” to true, for use with the conditional visibility tags containing Skin.HasSetting(setting). The settings are saved per-skin in settings.xml just like all the other XBMC settings.

Skin.ToggleSetting(setting)

Toggles the skin setting “setting” for use with conditional visibility tags containing Skin.HasSetting(setting).

Skin.SetString(string[,value])

Pops up a keyboard dialog and allows the user to input a string which can be used in a label control else where in the skin via the info tag Skin.String(string). If the value parameter is specified, then the keyboard dialog does not pop up, and the string is set directly.

Skin.SetImage(string[,value])

Pops up a file browser and allows the user to select an image file off the xbox harddisk to be used in an image control else where in the skin via the info tag Skin.String(string). If the value parameter is specified, then the file browser dialog does not pop up, and the image path is set directly.

Skin.SetPath(string[,value])

Pops up a folder browser and allows the user to select a folder of images off the xbox harddisk to be used in a multi image control else where in the skin via the info tag Skin.String(string). If the value parameter is specified, then the file browser dialog does not pop up, and the path is set directly.

Skin.SetFile(string,mask,folderpath)

Pops up a folder browser and allows the user to select a file off the xbox harddisk to be used else where in the skin via the info tag Skin.String(string). If the mask parameter is specified, then the file browser will only search for the extension specified (.avi,.mp3,.m3u,.png,.bmp,etc.,etc.). If the folderpath parameter is set the file browser will start in that folder.

Skin.theme

Cycles the skin theme. Skin.theme(-1) will go backwards.

SetFocus(id)

Will make the control with the "id" specified in the command gain focus.

Control.SetFocus(id,position)

Will make a list with the "id" specified in the command gain focus at "postion" number in its list.

Skin.Reset(setting) Resets the skin setting “setting”. If “setting” is a bool setting (ie set via SetBool or ToggleSetting) then the setting is reset to false. If “setting” is a string (Set via SetString, SetImage, or SetPath) then it is set to empty.
Skin.ResetSettings Resets all the above skin settings to their defaults (toggles all set to false, strings all set to empty.)
