Kodi and pimatic Plugin

---

Have the Kodi plugin installed and registered the device in the config, extended with the IP address of Kodi. In the GUI of Pimatic Kodi is - entry with the button> PLAY <etc. available. Rule is> if kodi play then … <.
Pressing the PLAY - button nothing happens. A message appears “Timeout” appears. Play Kodi a piece of music from the Rule does not respond.

• Additional settings when Kodi?
• Is the port 9090 correct?
• Is the plugin developed, final entries are from the summer 2015?

Thanks for an answer

@pima2235 do you have the settings correct in Kodi?
You have to allow remote connections in Kodi before it works

Yes, I allow 3 remote connections:
local and another computer and control over HTTP (Webserver),

I use Kodi 15.2 under Raspian / jessie

Thanks for an answer

Strange, I have it working at home…
When I get back at home I will have a look for you

Just let you know, for me i use port 80 on kodi to use yatse as remote, but i have to set 9090 in pimatic. At beginning i tried it with 80 because of the settings in kodi. Then i have tried it with 9090 and all work fine. Maybe this helps for you.

I think port 9090 is for the cli, and it should be always set in pimatic to 9090 doesent matter wixh settings you have made in kodi.

yes 9090 (default) is for the Kodi API. So use this port

The port you set in the webserver config can be used to communicate with API, too (but I think its not recommend - and not fully working).

If you want to, I could send you a batch (or python) file which connects to the Kodi API and prints if it was successful (for testing purpose)

@SLiX
Yes that would be nice, I’m interested too.

Ok, I’m gonna search for that file. Just set up my desktop pc 2 weeks ago, do not know where that file is hiding.

Do you have a Windows PC in your network (or is Kodi running on Windows)? If not I could create a python file which does the same

Oh, i have an AmazonFireTv where Kodi is running.
And The files are lying on a NAS.
And the RPi2 where Pimatic is running.
Currently I’m working on a macbook.
Just thrown the Windows PC out of the “window”… Last Christmas
edit:
but completely without it does not work–> Windows in parallels(VM)

Ok, here is the batch file. I will create a python file which does the same. So you can wait or use this from your VM.

Set your creds, IP, Port in the config.bat - save the file! And then execute the notification.bat with double click or via cmd.

If this were successful, you will read something like ("id": "bash", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "OK") - ‘result ok’ is important
Or you simply check if there pops up a notification with “Test123” on your Kodi screen

Ok thanks @SLiX
Will test it tomorrow.

In the KODI - Wiki describes how the port is 9090 stored in a file> advancedsettings.xml <folder> userdata <. My Kodi - Installation has neither the folder nor the file. I will test another Kodi version.

Port 9090 - JSON-RPC is a HTTP- and/or raw TCP socket-based interface for communicating with Kodi.

When changing from Helix to Isengard also changed JSONRPC.Version [“version”]

26 March 2014 14.2 Helix {“major”:6,“minor”:21,“patch”:2}
21 July 2015 15.0 Isengard {“major”:6,“minor”:25,“patch”:2}

The last entry for the GutHub Kodi plugin is the 07/10/2015.
Should perhaps be adapted the plugin?

Hello,

I have a nearly current KODI (OSMC 2016.01) installed. It works in the basic setting with pimatic. (If Kodi is playing then … / If Kodi not playing then …)
Does anyone have some examples -> custom player Open commands <- of Kodi plugins?
So examples of the integration of Kodi-scripts / plugins for pimatic’s config file in the plugins-section?

Thanks for an answer
