            This "type" is used when XBMC doesn't have a more specific type.

library
    environment variables:
        ACTION=START
            The action referenced in "MODE" has started.
        ACTION=STOP
            The action referenced in "MODE" has ended.
        ACTION=UPDATED
            The library referenced in "TYPE" has been updated.  "MODE" is always "NONE" with this action.

        MODE=CLEAN
            A clean has started/ended for the library referenced in "TYPE".
        MODE=NONE
            Ignore, just look at "ACTION".  This is only used for the action "UPDATED".
        MODE=SCAN
            A scan has started/ended for the library referenced in "TYPE".

        TYPE=AUDIO
            The action is being performed on the audio library.
        TYPE=VIDEO

screensaver
    environment variables:

            The XBMC screensaver has been activated.
        ACTION=STOP
            The XBMC screensaver has been deactivated.

In addition to these, it'll also emit the event xbmcplevel (as in "XBMC priority level").

An Upstart script interprets the value specified in LEVEL and changes the process priority dynamically.

Please note that the event library ACTION=UPDATED MODE=NONE is not considered an action on a library here.

        LEVEL=2
            Low priority.  The screensaver is active.  It's also either playing something or an action is being performed on any library.
        LEVEL=3
            Normal priority.  The screensaver is inactive, it's not playing anything and no actions are being performed on the libraries.
