How to make service result available to be used on the skin - Kodi for PC IOS Football Addons IPTV M3u Sports

Hi,

This is my very first attempt with Kodi services and skins.

I already modified my Titan skin to enable a third row underneath the time and date to display my IP.

My goal, is to display the external IP and location here, and so I also created a service that does exactly that and prints the result in the log file for now.

The code of the service is the following:

Code:

import xbmcaddon

import xbmcgui

import subprocess

import urllib

import requests

import json

import xbmc

import time
addon       = xbmcaddon.Addon()

addonname   = addon.getAddonInfo('name')

def check_location():

    send_url = 'http://freegeoip.net/json'

    r = requests.get(send_url)

    j = json.loads(r.text)

    city = j['city']

    return "Currently connected from: " + city;
def check_ip():

    public_ip = subprocess.check_output(["ifconfig `ip route get 8.8.8.8 | grep 8.8.8.8 | cut -d' ' -f5` | grep \'inet \' | awk -F'[: ]+' '{ print $4 }'"], shell=True);

    result = ("Your IP is : %s " % public_ip);

    return result;

if __name__ == '__main__': monitor = xbmc.Monitor() while not monitor.abortRequested(): if monitor.waitForAbort(2): break test = "Check IP and Location" + check_ip() + check_location(); xbmc.log(test, level=xbmc.LOGDEBUG)

and the result printed on the log file is exactly what I expect.

The part of the skin that I edited is the IncludeHeader.xml, and I edited it like this:

Code:
<include name="TimeInfoCompact">

        <control type="group">

            <control type="label">

                <right>50</right>

                <top>10</top>

                <align>right</align>

                <width>300</width>

                <info>System.Time</info>

                <font>Bold30</font>

                <textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>

                <shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>

            </control>

            <control type="label">

                <right>50</right>

                <top>40</top>

                <align>right</align>

                <width>500</width>

                <info>System.Date</info>

                <font>Reg26</font>

                <textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>

                <shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>

            </control>

            <control type="label">

                <right>50</right>

                <top>70</top>

                <align>right</align>

                <width>500</width>

                <info>Network.IPAddress</info>

                <font>Reg20</font>

                <textcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextColor)]</textcolor>

                <shadowcolor>$INFO[Skin.String(HeaderTextShadowColor)]</shadowcolor>

            </control>

        </control>

    </include>

the last label is printing Network.IPAddress.
How do I make this print the result of my service?

Again, this is the first time for me, so any type of help would be really really appreciated. Thanks a lot
