Recognize Media Playing

[bp_pbs]

Alright team this is the problem I'm running into now. When media is playing Vox is not displaying Playback anymore.
1. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem?
2. Anyway I can get Vox to recognize when something is playing?

What version of VC are you using? By "media" do you mean audio tracks?

Are you saying that, in the past, when a new song started playing there was an on-screen message displaying the song information, and now there isn't? Or do you mean when you ask for song info it isn't displaying, or something else?

In your XJSON plugin settings, do you have the "subscribe to notifications from XBMC" box checked?

On our configuration, we get TTS announcements when a new track starts. We have never had an OSD message. I think that is how the default configuration for Frodo works. Maybe you're thinking of the "Show song info" command? (This is within the "XBMC Get Now Playing Info" command group)

When I say media I mean anything that is being played (Movies or music). I'm using the newest version. I know before when you play a movie or music on Vox history log it would display an action like XBMC.Playback or something like that. Now when something is playing it doesn't show anything like if nothing is playing.

That's really weird.  I thought I was the only one with access to the latest version.  I guess we need to look into our security policies...

You probably need to use the xJSON.connect action.  Normally this is triggered by the XBMC focus event but you can execute it manually.

Focus....Aw just thought about something...Would Focus still work if Vox is on another computer?
