Python plugin: Kodi

[Dnpwwo]

@Brutus,

The python plugin uses a different command set to the native implementation.

I've documented it on github: https://github.com/dnpwwo/Domoticz-Kodi-Plugin

[Brutus]

That explains a lot I need to use "Trigger"
Going to change my scripts tonight.

Thnx for your answer.

[Brutus]

So I changed my scripts. The "Trigger" Favorites works great.

But the Volume doesn't. That command isn't changed:

Code: Select all

commandArray['Kodi TV Woonkamer'] = 'Set Volume 100'

The Log says it works:

Code: Select all

2018-06-07 18:17:20.530 (Kodi) onCommand called for Unit 1: Parameter 'Set Volume', Level: 100, Connected: True 

Using the manual remote control you can change the volume.

Code: Select all

2018-06-07 19:00:23.003 (Kodi) Update 2:'80' (Kodi - Volume)
2018-06-07 19:00:23.446 (Kodi) Update 2:'82' (Kodi - Volume) 

Am I doing something wrong?

Greetings

@Brutus,

You are sending the command to the wrong device. The plugin creates 4 devices , one of them is the 'Volume' device (Unit #3). Assuming ''Kodi TV Woonkamer" is what you named the hardware then try:

Code: Select all

commandArray['Kodi TV Woonkamer - Volume'] = 'Set Volume 100'

If you renamed the 'Volume' device to something else you will obviously need to use its new name

You should see some thing like this in the log:

Code: Select all

2018-06-07 18:17:20.530 (Kodi) onCommand called for Unit 3: Parameter 'Set Volume', Level: 100, Connected: True 

[Brutus]

@Dnpwwo

That makes sense but still nothing changes:

Command:

Code: Select all

commandArray[1]={['Kodi - Volume'] = 'Set Volume 75'}

Log:

Code: Select all

2018-06-08 08:41:50.148 (Kodi) onCommand called for Unit 3: Parameter 'Set Volume', Level: 75, Connected: True

@Dnpwwo:

Have you had time to look into my 'crash log' o Domoticz after the Kodi plugin didn't find Kodi for a second?

I am running the last version of the Kodi plugin, 2.5.6

Today my Domoticz crashed: these are the last lines in the log:
First:

Code: Select all

(Kodi Woonkamer) Device has disconnected

(Kodi Woonkamer) Update 20:'20' (Kodi Woonkamer - Source)                                  
(Kodi Woonkamer) Update 2:'100' (Kodi Woonkamer - Volume)                                  
(Kodi Woonkamer) Update 0:'0' (Kodi Woonkamer - Playing)

then a couple seconds later:

Code: Select all

Error: Plugin: Connection Exception: 'resolve: Host not found (authoritative)' connecting to 'onHeartbeat:9090'
(Kodi Woonkamer) Connect directive received, action initiation failed.                     
Domoticz received fatal signal 11 !...                                              
/home/pi/domoticz/domoticz() [0x2522b8]

/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6(__default_sa_restorer_v2+0) [0x76cb3180]

The weird thing is that nobody used/started Kodi at all today. Kodi is running fine on it's own pi as well.

A restart of Domoticz got things rolling again, but a plugin crashing the whole setup wasn't what I had in mind today

@Dnpwwo

You introduced the nice 'Rewind' feature that I use every time a Kodi video or audio starts while the receiver is still off.

I put the stream on 'pause', start/boot the receiver and rewind the playing stream, not to miss the start.

This works fine for 'Audio' (it rewinds and starts playing from 0.00), but 'Video' always keeps paused. Both 'audio' and 'video' trigger the same log registration, but for 'video' I always manually have to hit 'play' again (it also hasn't rewinded to 0:00)

Code: Select all

2018-06-15 22:43:17.073 (Kodi Woonkamer) onCommand called for Unit 4: Parameter 'Rewind', Level: 0, Connected: True

Could it be something in the plugin that doesn't properly rewind 'video', that it differs from 'Audio'?

[Dnpwwo]

@jake,

Theoretically it should work for every media type, the decription of the Kodi method is "Seek through the playing item" for the active player. The rewind method just does a seek to "0" which should be pretty robust in theory so I'm surprised you are having issues.

A couple of questions/suggestions:

• One potential difference between audio and video is often duration. Could you try a short video (song length) or long audio (movie length) stream to see if stream length is a factor?
• Does seeking in general work on your video streams using the "Playing" device?
• You could try changing line 426 in plugin.py to be

  Code: Select all

                      self.KodiConn.Send('{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Seek","params":{"playerid":' + str(self.playerID) + ',"value":{ "hours":0, "minutes":0, "seconds":0, "milliseconds":0}}}')

  to move from a percentage based rewind to a time based one. (I haven't tried this and the doco is far from clear so it may be incorrect)

[jake]

@Dpnwwo

I don't have a long audio and short video at hand.

Shuffling around during a video with the 'playing' device works fine, backwards, forward, no problem

I updated line 426 with the revised code, but the behaviour stays the same

The rewinding action for video is executed partly, because it does rewind the video to 0:00. It only doesn't start to play.
It doesn't make a difference whether I start a local video file or a video stream from an add-on like youtube or 'uitzending gemist', the Dutch replay service from the national television.

Anyhow, since I saw that the video file was properly rewinded, I added a 'Play' command with a 1 second delay (dzVents) to the rewind command. This works fine for video and doesn't seem to hurt (stutter) for audio.

Hi All,

I get this error sometimes and then a Signal 11 error:

[jake]

Last night my domoticz crashed again on the same symptoms with the Kodi plugin. I have already put the "time out of lost devices" on 'false' before this crash.

[jake]

Tonight domoticz crashed again on Kodi. It is really a pity that the whole system goes down on a hiccup in a single plugin. In winter time I am running a virtual thermostat from domoticz. Downtime has effects by then . (on the WAF for sure)

In the meantime I now enabled all debugging on the Kodi plugin to have a better record at the next crash.

[bizziebis]

The plugin doesn't work anymore in the latest beta (V4.9946)

The log is flooded with

It was working on a version of 7 July.

[Dnpwwo]

The currently maintained Kodi plugin is here: https://github.com/dnpwwo/Domoticz-Kodi-Plugin

Can you give that one a try and let me know if there are any issues

[bizziebis]

Yes, I was using that already. Updated it this morning but it didn't work. But I see you updated it again and now it works

[Dnpwwo]

Yeah, I forgot to push the change.

Worked for me but no one else

Hi All,

After a clear reinstall of domoticz (because of a usb-stick failure) i get this error after restart domoticz

and see this error while running domoticz:

Can this happen because of install latest Python 3.7.0?

@poudenes

Had exactly the same issue.

Solved by removing the Kodi plugin directory, and I cloned it again.

Domoticz crash because of error in Kodi plugin (version 2.5.6):
