@myle - sure!! First of all - I’ll give credit where credit is due - I had to start a thread where I was having to determine the type of content playing - as I didn’t want the lights to dim when playing ‘tv’ content vs ‘movies’ - so credit to @Zen for the help!! - Thread is here - KODI - Content Type - Movie vs Tv Show - Library

I had the whole solution in that thread - so I’m copying/pasting from there - it’s all still working perfectly!!

Just so everyone has the solution -

bash script:
#! /bin/bash

curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "playerid": 1}, "id": "VideoGetItem"}' http://<<<IP ADDRESS OF KODI>>>/jsonrpc | if [[ $(grep -o movie) ]]; then echo "ON"; else echo "OFF"; fi
