Kodi Mediaserver Support

[Synasenn]

Hi,

new user here and enjoying Domoticz very much.

I updated to the latest beta (v2.3219), but I don't have the options in blockly to select Paused, Audio, Video etc.
Do I have to adjust something to get these options?

Regards

[salvation]

As far as I understood the piece of code to make that possible will be available in the next beta, so you will have to wait (or build from source).

[bizziebis]

The event functionality is still under development but today I pushed an update that should allow events to be fired from Blocky (tested) and Lua (untested) for any player state (On, Off, Video, Audio & Paused).

This will allow you to ring your doorbell when a video stream pauses but not the other way around

This means that:

Untitled.png

Messages will be written to the log when the Lounge Kodi starts playing music but the Set command won't do anything (yet).

I haven't done any coding with Domoticz events so I'm on a journey of discovery, if you want to take the next beta and test the lua that would be helpful.

It's working great in LUA.
Thanks for your effort!

[Dnpwwo]

Thanks bizziebis, good to know.

I found out I was wrong before and that setting the device state to 'Off' in blockly was alreadying working . So I've added a few more options, documented here http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Kodi#Event ... ifications, to control playback.

Pause/resume can now be triggered in response to other events. Enjoy.

Source was updated an hour ago, standard delays apply depending on the build you are using.

[salvation]

Can you follow these instructions and post the output? http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Kodi#Troubleshooting

When trying with the latest beta the problem doesn't occur anymore on my machine.

Pause media via an Lua trigger is working on the current beta, great work!

My Domoticz is still crashing when doing the off button in Domoticz.

The shutdown issue is being tracked in this viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8256 thread.

[gixxersuperbike]

First of all , Dnpwwo great work on this support for Kodi!
Been waiting a while for this to stop me breaking a leg during movie pauses

Got it up and running but I probably did something wrong....

I can get it to turn lights on during "Paused" on Kodi.

And I can get it to turn off on movie resume

Running.png (10.12 KiB) Viewed 5035 times

But somehow I can't combine them.

Combined.png (14.46 KiB) Viewed 5035 times

Nothing seems to happen any more. (not even in 2 seperate events)

Where did I go wrong ?
I checked the "Show current states"
And they seem fine.

[Egregius]

Nice implementation

When dark, lights go on when paused, off when unpaused, except when manually switched in the last hour.

Code: Select all

<?php
//KODI
	if($SLicht_Hall_Auto=='On') {
		if($Kodi['Status']=='Video') {
			if($DlevelZithoek>0 && xcache_get('dimtimeZithoek')<$time-3600) Schakel($DIZithoek, 'Off');
			if($DlevelEettafel>0 && xcache_get('dimtimeEettafel')<$time-3600) Schakel($DIEettafel, 'Off');
		}
		else if($Kodi['Status']=='Paused') {
			if($DlevelZithoek<20) Dim($DIZithoek, 25);
			if($DlevelEettafel<20) Dim($DIEettafel, 30);	
		}
	}

@gixxersuperbike You should also check if the light is already on or of. Otherwise the command will be sent every minute.

Hi,
i'm quite new here in domoticz comunity, so excuse for my basic questions..

I've installed domoticz on my raspberry pi 1 (sd card image downloaded from domoticz.com)/ I did software update/upgrade and i'm running now 2.2563.
I cannot find Kodi support in my Hardware->type. How can i make it enable?

The second question:
gixxersuperbike posted pictures of some "puzzles" which seems to me GUI for programming my input/output devices.. could you please advise me what is that?

thanks
Michal

[pvm]

I think kodi is only supported in the beta version and not in stable. You can, at your own risk, switch to beta verslons in the settings panel and update to the latest beta.

The puzzels are blocky which can be found in settings, events (i use a translaties version of domoticz, but should be something like that)

[gixxersuperbike]

@ Egregius : Thanks I should have thought about that...

But now this thing is driving me crazy....
It keeps switching on and off no matter which state Kodi has.....

And I don't see how this is possible because in the current states it shows only Video on play and Paused on pauze

[cwiekol]

thanks,
just found both things..
however, i cannot install beta.. is there a way to do it/force it via ssh? trying to upgrade via web page i'm getting the following error (everytime, even after restarting server and/or raspberry):

Error while downloading Update,
check your internet connection or try again later !...

i didn't find a space on this forum dedicated to beta.. is there some?

[pvm]

Most of the forum is based on beta. Check the wiki for install and upgrade instructions

[locogek]

Can I do something like turn a radio station on when pressing a switch?

[Ferpando]

Hello,
I installed the koi device yesterday without success.
Today, after some time I just deleted the device and created a new one.
Now it seems to work, but I get an error in the log:

2015-10-23 12:10:06.605 Kodi: (Minix) Event: 'Video - , 4x01. Green Arrow'.
2015-10-23 12:10:13.288 Kodi: (Minix) Event: 'On'.
2015-10-23 12:10:14.039 Error: Kodi: (Minix) Message error, unknown type in OnPlay message: 'unknown' from '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.OnPlay","params":{"data":{"item":{"type":"unknown"},"player":{"playerid":0,"speed":1}},"sender":"xbmc"}}'
2015-10-23 12:10:14.065 Kodi: (Minix) Event: 'Audio - , theme.mp3'.

Any idea what is going on?
I have a Minix device with koi 15.2 and experience 1080 theme.

[Dnpwwo]

If you are having issues it helps if you follow the instructions here: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Kodi#Troubleshooting because it gives us a lot more to go on.

I'm still running 14.2 and the 'OnPlay' event always returns picture, episode, song, channel or movie. Your Kodi has literally returned 'unknown' which surprising (anyone else seen this?) because I don't know how Kodi can play something when it doesn't know what it is

Can you up the logging as described in the troubleshooting instructions and capture the log for a number of different files and post them and I'll have a look.

[Ferpando]

As you as see, the video event returns what is playing. Also the audio event. This appears ok in the switch.

So this is working. The remote also works as supposed.

The problem is with the message...
Maybe Kodi changed a lot with v15. I don't know if the theme could also affect.

Here's some more log for you.

[Dnpwwo]

From your log it looks like everything works. The message is there for debugging because I never thought it would happen.

I'll remove it from the next version
