New Plugin for Kodi/XBMC

---

i`ve updated and tested it with this:

IF Stefan Handy is absent THEN stop Kodi Media Player

and get this:

09:59:59.744 [pimatic] error: Error on evaluation of rule condition of rule test: Promise is not defined

pimatic runs on pi 1 and kodi on pi 2.

so kodi starts after pimatic. is this possible now? because you say

Also it now should support multiple instances at the same time.

thanks for that,
great work.

@p4co86 There currenctly seems to be a big bug in the library on Nodejs V10 (the one that pimatic uses)

i will check this tonight!
currently it will not work oke!

@p4co86 The problem has been resolved.
I forked the libs and fixed the issue.

It seems they used something that is not yet included in the version that is being advertised with pimatic.

Have updated and get a timeout. Stop the movie would not work for me

Can you post your debug log?

there is nothing in the debug log.

pimatic is installed an an rpi 512mb and kodi to a second rpi 2 1 GB.

is the gui part updating?

Did you use the gui stop button? or a rule?
Does pause ect. work?

I dont see anithing on thr gui, just the buttons play, stop, forward backward. Yes i use a rule. Butt the next button without a rule wouldnt work too. Im looking tv and try to stop it our switch a channel.

Try the following

1. delete all rules that you have for kodi
2. add the Kofi device to gui

Then it should work normal.

If not check your ip and port settings.
For example : check with yatse app if it works and what the ip/port is.

@fjux: thanks for this great work. i will try it this weekend.
good job!!!

I have added a second kodi and add a device for it. With yatse, both kodis are working
Both use the port 8080.
I have delete the rules for kodi. But it would work.
In the gui i just see forward, play,stop and backward.

No idea what is going wrong.

Oke, i really do not understand what is going wrong.

Add 1 kodi, and check if it is working or perhaps something else.
What version of kodi are you running?

are you sure there are no firewalls ect?

The gui part should enable you to pause kodi, play it again. and press next and previous.
it also shows the current playing song/episode.

You can also use The custom open commands to start radio streams.

if you use the Radio plugin from Kodi. ()

you can use this as command:

       {
          "name": "Radio538",
          "command": "plugin://plugin.audio.radio_de/station/1819/"
        }

in this case 1819 is the station id. you can find the correct number if you press the info button on a radio station in the plugin. and then the File name is the station id you need to put in the command.

Like i say. Yatse works with both systems. Therebis no firewall. Cant see the playing title. I use kodi 5.08

it works for me now,

yatse was working with port setting 8080.

so i have added a device in pimatic with port 8080. but that was not working. after that a have change the kodi port in pimatic to 9090. kodi system has still 8080. and now it works. ist that normal?

Improvements:
it would be very nice if you could add:

• Shutdown Button
• processbar/playtime
• navigation buttons

thanks for the help and for the nice plugin.

Good to hear!

For me (openelec) the default JSON-RPC port also is 9090. Did you perhaps upgrade from an older version?
and did not update Yatse?

Try to add the host to Yatse again, it works better if it is using the JSON-RPC (faster)

could you please post some examples how to use the plugin (here or at the plugin page http://pimatic.org/plugins/pimatic-kodi/)? or is there a documentation for beginners?

Well this has a bit more info: https://github.com/Fjuxx/pimatic-kodi
but the plugin is very simple.

Add the plugin, and then add the device to the config (as on the pimatic page/git)

Then add the device to your screen in pimatic and you have a player with pause play next/previous buttons.
this will show the current playing.

The other things are in the rule’s so they will popup when you start typing. (also see the page)

The custom commands are a bit more technical. i think i will write something about that, but that will be in the weekend…

oh ha. there is the mistake. i visited this page: https://github.com/Fjuxx/node-xbmc because it is linked at the plugin page http://pimatic.org/plugins/pimatic-kodi/
which one is the plugin i installed in pimatic via GUI?
