Save settings value accessible globally in KODI

I'm writing Multiple Add-ons for a personal build of KODI. What I am trying to achieve is:

  1. Service(Add-on A) will authenticate the box using its MAC Address.
  2. Service(Add-on A) will save a token(T1).
  3. Service(Add-on B) will use T1 and load movies if (T1 != None)

BUT xbmcplugin.setSetting( "token" ) AND xbmcplugin.getSetting( "token" ) saves the value in the context of Add-on where it was called.

HOW to achieve Saving Global Values in KODI with Python

Solution

  • You can use window properties for that. Window 10000 is one of the main windows so it will always exist.

    Set it xbmcgui.Window(10000).setProperty('myProperty', 'myValue')

    Read it xbmcgui.Window(10000).getProperty('myProperty')
