Can't Get the XBMC Binding to Work

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

I added the XBMC binding to my openHAB binding (this was my first binding). I followed the instructions and have the various kodi setting for remote controlling on. However, I cant get it to work. When I attempt to control it I get the following error:
Recieved command (ON) for item xbmcPlayPause but no XBMC connector was found for tv, ignoring

Does anyone know how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Can you post openhab.cfg section that deal with xbmc, items and sitemap details?
Cheers :smile:

Sure.

openhab.cfg:
xbmc:tv.host=192.168.0.11
xbmc:tv.rsPort=8080
xbmc:tv.wsPort=8080/jsonrpc it is possible that this is where the issue is

home.items:
Switch xbmcPlayPause “Play/Pause Tv” (TV) {xbmc=“>[#tv|Player.PlayPause]”}
String xbmcTitle “Title” (TV) {xbmc=“<[#tv|Player.Title]”}

I have left everything else (except for the addons and sitemap) as defaults.

Thanks :smile:

I suspect you’re right. My wsPort is a port number, like the default 9090.

did you get it working?

Yeah, thanks. I think the issue may have been with XBMC itself. I reinstalled it and that seemed to fix the issue.
