XBMC/Kodi not working

Add-ons Bindings
, ,
1
  • Openhab 1.8.1 (although was also broken in 1.7)
    • Both org.openhab.action.xbmc-1.8.1.jar and org.openhab.binding.xbmc-1.8.1.jar are in addons/
  • Kodi 16.0 (although this has been broken since 15.x for me)…

Addons.cfg openhab.cfg:

######################## XBMC Binding ###########################

xbmc:tvroom.host=192.168.1.39
xbmc:tvroom.rsPort=80         # Port number for the json rpc service
xbmc:tvroom.wsPort=9090       # Port number for the web socket service
xbmc:tvroom.username=xbmc
xbmc:tvroom.password=mysecretpassword

In Kodi, both the HTTP webserver and “allow other programs/services/etc” setting is checked

Shouldn’t this be openhab.cfg?

3

Oh yeah, sorry - typo. That is from my openhab.cfg

4

Is other config correctly being loaded/used from this file? Looks like that XBMC config is not being picked up for some reason.

5

Yeah other configs are loading okay… things both above it and below it are loaded correctly.

I think it my have been my comments after the ports:

I just deleted them, and now I get a nice “Creating new XbmcConnector for ‘#tvroom’ on 192.168.1.39” message :slight_smile:

In your logback.xml, add:

<logger name="org.openhab.action.xbmc" level="TRACE"/>
<logger name="org.openhab.binding.xbmc" level="TRACE"/>

Hey,

I have the same issue. Did you ever get this working?

Thanks

Yeah, I just had to remove comments after my host/port mappings, and it worked
