Hey guys,

I noticed that the kodi binding keeps switching from online to offline.

Kodi itself works as usual.
Any idea what could be causing this or how to investigate further?

Sorry to be bumping the thread again, unfortunately I still haven’t been able to fix this.
I got a 2nd Kodi running that’s set up in the exact same way in OH. The only difference device-wise is that the working one is running on a Pi (LibreELEC) and the one that keeps switching between off- and online is on an Odroid (CoreELEC).

Thing setup:

Thing kodi:kodi:Wohnzimmer "Kodi" @ "Wohnzimmer" [ipAddress="192.168.178.33", port=9090, httpPort=8080]

Item Setup:

Group gKodiLivingroom "Kodi" (gHomeCinema)
Player KodiPlayer "Kodi Player" (gKodiLivingroom) {channel="kodi:kodi:Wohnzimmer:control", alexa="PlaybackController.playback, PlaybackStateReporter.playbackState"}

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Oh boy… got this solved! A Sonoff device had the same IP (wireless) as the Kodi device (LAN). Changed that and now it’s working again.
