I have put the script on the XBOX hard disk.
When watching a movie, I let my hard disk go to sleep mode after 10 minutes.
If a call is coming in, first the hard drive must spin up, then the message will appear.
Is it possible to create a small ram drive to put the script in, or how can I let run from the autoexec.py the yac2.py from a network share, so the message appears direct on my TV?

Hey guys,

I've added the ability to add display pictures for recognized numbers.  Also, the problem with text not displaying has been fixed for a few weeks on my site now.

To add thumbnails for incoming calls, place a [phonenumber].jpg image in the yac/ subdirectory.

I would like to do this but I would like to run the YAK software on a unix box (freeBSD) instead.  Does anyone know of a good substitute that runs on unix?  I realize I may have to hand-modify the python script but I'm a programmer so in theory that shouldn't be a big deal he he.

The YAC server software is open-source, so you could (if you want to spend the time) port it to Unix.  You shouldn't need to change the client if you use the same message format.

I'm new with Pyton, but can anyone tell me how to run the picture not from Q: but from a my netwerk share on my server.
Now the image runs from 'q:\\scripts\\yac\\yac.png'
But I would like to change the syntax so i can put the 'yac.png' on my server.

Is there anyway to include Support for VOIP without having to have a CID Fax Modem.  With VOIP, the CID info can already be read by Java based applications (Primus application is VOISS, which runs in the background, and when a call comes through, a little windwo pops up displaying whos calling, same thing with Vonage, but not sure what the app is).  But it would be really great to have the support for XBMC to be able to retrieve this information, since its available anyways...

If anyone is interested in this, I have been taling with a dev on the Primus Forum regarding this, and he is willing to devlop a java based app that will throw out info for a XBMC python script to retrieve....Just need some coordination b/w both....and i have no cue how to code Python...
