"onPlayBackStarted" event on Leia broken

[s1nn3r]

The "onPlayBackStarted" event on Leia (18.0, 18.1 and 18.2 RC2) seems to be called once after reboot, after that it's not called anymore.
Is this something you could fix or is it a Leia bug?
Thanks!

Hello,

I identified a systematic behavior : it works ONLY when you run a video that interrupts another one playing. If you start a video with no video playing in background, it doesn't work.

If this can help someone to debug the plugin, it would be very helpful !!

Thanks

This might be the reason why: onPlayBackStarted API Documentation

v18 Python API changes: Use onAVStarted() instead if you need to detect if Kodi is actually playing a media file (i.e, if a stream is available)

@OoZoo1ai I made some changes locally and it is working with your solution. I did a PR #9.
Have a nice day.

@Simounet any way you can help me out to perform the change on Android TV version of Kodi? I'd really like to fix the event for the player too

Sorry for the late reply. If you can access the filesystem of your Android TV, you can follow the changes did here.
