Python plugin: Kodi

[G3rard]

Domoticz version beta 3.7468 with python from Jadahl on synology. Plugin version 1.7.1
Get some errors in the log

The plugin 1.7.1 is for the latest Domoticz beta versions, you have an older version (I actually have the same version).
So you need the 1.6.0 version of the plugin.

Rollback 2 version 1.6.0. It's working now. I don't won't to update my previous version of domoticz because there are some issues with
the plugins. So a wait until ...

Thanks 4 helping

With the latest beta (3.7686) the Kodi plugin doesn't work anymore.
Version 1.7.1 will crash domoticz and version 1.6.0 result in the folowing error

OnStart:

Code: Select all

2017-06-08 07:57:11.198 Error: (Kodi Woonkamer) 'onStart' failed 'AttributeError':''module' object has no attribute 'Transport''.

Is there a solution for this?

@Luuc_a,

I'm not sure.

It would be more useful if you posted the log for version 1.7.1 (preferably with debug enabled for the plugin) rather than the version that we know doesn't work with the new beta, also the operating system you are running.

Well. That would be a problem. I don't have the log for version 1.7.1 because domoticz is not reachable with this version.
The web interface says that it is offline. Is there another method to get the log?

I use Domoticz on a raspberry pi3.

[Dnpwwo]

@Luuc_a,

Yes. If you go onto the Pi into the domoticz directory you can run it using somthing like

Code: Select all

./domoticz

then you will see the output

[Luuc_a]

Thanks. I get different errors when I try this. But also found the solution.
It was a permission error.

The solution

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 755 domotiz/plugins/kodi/plugin.py

@Dnpwwo, do you think you will be able to complete the feature request to add another Kodi state (besides on/off/video/audio): something like sleep, by detecting when the screensaver is active?

@Dnpwwo: I did some research if my original request to get a Kodi 'idle' or 'sleep' state in Domotizc. Would it be possible to integrate the OnScreenSaverActivated functionality in your plugin? In this forum someone tries to use OnScreenSaverActivated, but gets into trouble because Kodi dims the screen while playing audio: https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&source=w ... l2r-jEMtAQ

UPDATE: I found the plugin for Kodi "Kodi Callbacks" and their I could use an http command to enable/disable a new virtual switch in Domoticz at the Kodi state of 'OnIdle' and 'onResumeAfterIdle'
However, the 'idle' state in Domoticz directly, would be preferred, of course

After upgrading to Domoticz version V3.8235 on Windows i'm getting these errors using plugin version 1.7.1:

@Brutus,

There was a breaking change to the Python Framework at the start of the month.

Good news for you is that there is a a Kodi v1.8.0 plugin in the 'examples' folder that should work with the new API.

Let me know if it doesn't.

And were can I find this "Examples" Folder? The only folder I can find is in the dzvents folder.

[Dnpwwo]

@Brutus,

domoticz/plugins/examples or https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/tr ... s/examples

[Brutus]

@Brutus,

domoticz/plugins/examples or https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/tr ... s/examples

Thank you that folder did not exist on my Windows Installation.

[Brutus]

@Dnpwwo,

Maybe its me but in the examples folder there is one file named: Kodi.py

The "Old" Kodi plugin 1.7.1 has multiple files but no Kodi.py

So I can't replace it. How to update to version 1.8.0?

[Dnpwwo]

@Brutus,

Just rename it plugin.py and drop it in your existing Kodi folder. In the Domoticz Hardware page select your Kodi and hit update to reload it.

However, the 'idle' state in Domoticz directly, would be preferred, of course

I figured it out how to get the http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Kodi_Callbacks working within Kodi:
-Install the add-on via de built in add-on manager in Kodi
-In the configuration of the add-on
-- create a task: http, url = domoticz url:8080/json.htm and as type: GET
-- create an event on the activity 'OnIdle' with 'Task 1' and the custom text the JSON command parameters as described in the https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_ ... JSON wiki, starting with the ?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=99&switchcmd=On (idx=99: change to your virtual switch idx that is used to define if Kodi is idle)
--repeat the event 2 but choosing the on ResumeAfterIdle instead and the same task 1

The event delay in seconds starts counting from the first second that Kodi is Idle, not as I expected 'after the screensaver kicks in, but right then when audio or video stops and no UI is used

@Dnpwwo:
I realize that I use the onIdle from within Kodi and use the time delay also from within that add-on. From just the Domoticz side it might be more difficult to create a timer within Domoticz, the idle time variable should be defined in the 'hardware' section of Domoticz, I guess.

Another practical approach could be: combine the OnScreenSaverActivated information with the current 'On' state in the Domoticz plugin. I assume that would also give a reliable 'idle' state, since 'On' is only displayed when no audio/video is playing. The screensaver also only kicks in when there is no UI interaction.

@zak45,

There was a plugin API change a few weeks ago and you appear to be attempting to run the new Kodi API against the previous Domoticz version (hence the parameter mismatch).

You need to upgrade Domoticz (if you are running the beta) or downgrade the Kodi plugin.

[zak45]

thanks lot @Dnpwwo

just to summarize: need Kodi v 1.7.1 with last stable Domoticz v 3.8153
