I don’t know whats wrong!

Make sure that your web service port in Kodi/xbmc is indeed running on port 80 and not 8080.

3

Yes, it is port 80

4

In the log i see
Access the instance before config is load.
But why?

5

Can you open the web interface in a browser? Do you have the firewall running on the Kodi/XBMC client?

6

Yes, i can open it in my Webbrowser

7

Do you need to type in the username and password?

8

I test both.
Currently i must type it, if i open it in webbrowser.

9

I don’t have authentication configured on my Kodi clients, unless you have a specific reason for having that in place I would remove it.

Currently working for me:

I can access xbmc on port 80 and control it using a browser, but I still have to use port 8080 as rsPort!

services/xbmx.conf

# Hostname / IP address of your XBMC host (required). Example:
whz.host=192.168.1.11

# Port number for the json rpc service (optional, defaults to 8080). Example:
whz.rsPort=8080

# Port number for the web socket service (optional, defaults to 9090). Example:
whz.wsPort=9090

# Username to connect to XBMC. (optional, defaults to none). Example:
#whz.username=kodi

# Password to connect to XBMC. (optional, defaults to none). Example:
#whz.password=xbmc

Remeber for OH2 that you need to remove beginning xbmc from the front of your config url and other items

Now it works with and without auth!
If i change the “allow other programs”, i must restart the RasPi. THX
