Control KODI

[gjniewenhuijse]

Good afternoon,

Has anyone tried to control KODI through homelynk?
I would like to know if it is possible and how it can be done in such a case.

Thank you so much,

Hello, yes i use it but my code is very basic and needs some beautification

the library

Code:

function kodiHandler(iServer,iPort,sendPort)  -- first call  if not ready then    require('socket')        lastdatareceived = nil    ready = true  end    -- client connected  if connected then    while true do      char, err = client:receive(1)      -- error while receiving, closed socket      if err == 'closed' then          connected = false        sleep(1)        break      end              if char ~= nil then        lastdatareceived = os.time()        warningclosed = true        warningfailed = true        warningerrors = true        warningtimeou = true                         table.insert(buffer, char)        tmpbuf = table.concat(buffer)        if ( json.pdecode(tmpbuf) ) then          data = tmpbuf          parse(data)          buffer = {}        end      else        now = os.time()        deltatime = now - lastdatareceived      end              -- receive incoming send requests          msg, ip, port = sendServer:receivefrom()             if msg then        -- send command        --log("send: "..msg)        client:send(msg)             end            --[[ clear not complete buffer      if deltatime > 10 and #buffer > 0 then        log( #buffer )        buffer = {}        lastdatareceived = os.time()      end      -]]    end        -- first call or previously disconnected  else    -- close previous connection when disconnected    if client then      client:close()      client = nil    end    if sendServer then      sendServer:close()      sendServer = nil    end        -- create tcp client    client = socket.tcp()    client:settimeout(5)    connected, err = client:connect(iServer, iPort)        -- connect ok, reset buffer    if connected then      lastdatareceived = os.time()      warningclosed = true      warningfailed = true      warningerrors = true      warningtimeou = true      --log('[KODI-client] connection ok: '..iServer)      buffer = {}            -- create udp server to receive incoming send requests             if not sendServer then               sendServer = socket.udp()               sendServer:setsockname('*', sendPort)               sendServer:settimeout(0.1)             end            sleep(5)            -- send initial command      --client:send( '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.PlayPause", "params": { "playerid": 0 }, "id": 1}' )                -- error while connecting,    else             --log(err)      if warningfailed then log('[KODI-client] connection failed (conn): '.. err) end      warningfailed = false      sleep(5)    end  end    -- incoming command parser  function parse(data)    -- log other info, not mapped, if useful    --log("data received: "..data)    --log(json.pdecode(data))  end end

the resident script

Code:

require('user.nit_kodi') require('json') kodiHandler("192.168.x.x","9090","18007") -- callback from handler -- tv recording play function tvrecPlay()  log("test1") end -- tv recording - pause or stop function tvrecStop()   log("test2") end

in another script u can use for example:

Code:

udpsend( '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Application.SetVolume", "params": { "volume": 50 } }', "18007" )
