Just curious why you decided to use both a websocket and an HTTP client in the plugin? Why not use a POST method with the HTTP client for sending commands?
The only reason was I found a working example of websocket which I adapted, I never saw a post example I could adapt,I have considered updating it to be honest.
Maybe Bill can give his thoughts about this matter: only use the HTTP client or itās fine to use both.

I downloaded KodiV2, set the IP address but when I press ok or try to sync tyhe plusip I get an error message:
Unable to connect to the remote server
I can control KODI via its web interface in chrome.
What could be wrong?
Depending on your settings of Kodi it could be that you have to provide a username and password too.
Thanks,
Besides the username and password I also had to enable the option: Control by appās on other systems. (a lose translation from Dutch)
After enableing this option it worked.
Glad you got it working 
Hello, sorry I am new, I got the Plugin DL and updated for my player. I am using the latest Matrix vs for Dolby Vision. I am having some issues. One, is its only pulling in a small fraction of my movie library. Its not displaying any cover art at all. Seems like some of the buttons do not work. The main ones are the player āI amusingā are player jump forward and back buttons. Also when sliding the progress slider, it does not effect the player. Any thoughts.
Thanks
Mike
So been playing around a bit. Solved the big jump, the latest version of KODI changed the formats for jumps,
Forward = {ājsonrpcā:ā2.0ā, āmethodā:āPlayer.Seekā, āparamsā: { āplayeridā:1, āvalueā:{ āsecondsā: 600 } }, āidā:1}
Backwards = {ājsonrpcā:ā2.0ā, āmethodā:āPlayer.Seekā, āparamsā: { āplayeridā:1, āvalueā:{ āsecondsā: -600 } }, āidā:1}
Cover art is not working. Does it matter what meda data scrubber you use in KODI?
No idea yet on how to assign commands to a slider, I see you can do this with volume sliders so in theory you should be able to do with progress, here is a command I use in DemoPad.
{ājsonrpcā:ā2.0ā, āmethodā:āPlayer.Seekā, āparamsā: { āplayeridā:1, āvalueā:{ āpercentageā: [seek bar]} }, āidā:1}
[seek bar] is the percentage into a video. So I have the range of the seek bar set 0-100, so %50 would be 50 and that will jump to the middle of the movie if I slide the slider to the half way mark.
Hi Mike,
Welcome to The home remote, I recognise your user tagā¦ probably from irule?
Iāll take a look at the plug-in using the new version on kodi maybe they changed stuff that affected my code. In terms of the scraper I used TMDB for movies, it can be adapted for any tho. For the seeker it should already work unless it was also changed. Iāll take a look later this week.
John
Well sort of, came from irule. I left way back when, right after the sale. Went over to DemoPad and to be honest I like it. I looked at Home Remote early on and did not like what I saw and havenāt given it much thought till recently. I do like that you can write scripts for plugins with Home Remote. So willing to take a look. KODI is my main concern. Getting an interface I can work is key.
Also I am thinking they cover art is not working for if I renumber correctly they changed that too with the latest update. I believe you know want parse out uāposterā: uāimage:// now instead of thumbnail. You get it by requesting āartā instead of āThumbnailā . For Thumbnail now now directs you to a local file.
so for the slider I was trying the following line but it did not work
percentagecommand = (ā{ājsonrpcā:ā2.0ā, āmethodā:āPlayer.Seekā, "params"1: { āplayeridā:ā + ActivePlayer + ā, āvalueā:{ āpercentageā:ā + value + ā} }, āidā:1}ā)
Hi - if the slider is not working it mustāve changed I will need to redo it.
Yes I kinda left Irule at a similar time. I tried netio, briefly tested demo pad and another but found the home remote better for my needsā¦ and it has moved on and improved massively since I started.
John
So I updated the slider and the Big Jump forward and backwards. I am not great at coding, so I am not sure how to upgrade the cover art issue. Just FYI, I am using the first link you posted. Not sure if you have multiple versions for you made a few posts with DL links.
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
Im glad you got the slider working, I have checked on the latest libreelec distibution and the slider still works although you may be using V19 - Librelec remains at 18.9 (leia). The coverart can be easily updated, I use the scraper TMDB for mine and TVDB for TV. I would be wary of using local art as the files can be quite big and take an age to load. Can you send me your result from :
Version 2 is the latest in the first post. Feel free to drop me a PM rather than reply in the thread as its quite long aready and I can help you get it up and running.

Hi @john_wallace with your permission i am using this design file.
itās works well, thanks for the effortā¦i have some doubts, hope you will help.
what should i do if i use more than one kodiPC( in this design)?
which kind of changes should i do when copy the plugin(numbers of kodi) in the same design (with no complex coding) with different pages, moreover i donāt have much knowledge in coding 
*
the given code at last of plugin, what is the purpose of it, should i change anything this area when i copy the plugin for multiple kodi?
what is defined in āidā , should i change anything this area when i copy the plugin for multiple kodi?
i think the DEVICE_ID and DEVICE_ID2 must change when we copy them right?
what is the further changes should i do?
Hi,
Im glad you can use the plugin - it was my first attempt at learning code too so dont rule out learning yourself. I used freecodecamp JS for beginners on youtube its great for learning JS.
In terms of the id I dont think it matters so just leave them as they are. You could probably use a few ways to have multiple kodi instances, I would probably change the ip to a variable and change that with a button press, so rather than a setting in the plugin have it as a variable.

ID is for what media you are playing. I do not know why they did this but I believe 1 is for video and 0 is for music, not sure what 4 is. So play/pause commands with ID of 1 will only play/pause video, not music, and vise versa.
Ok Iām trying to dip my toes into THR since Irule is coming to an end.
I downloaded the V2 hrp in this thread and then took the Kodi script in it, saved it to a new text file, and renamed it Kodi.plugin and tried to import it to a different project. This didnāt work; when I try to add the plugin I get an error popup about an invalid port. I donāt see anywhere to add the port in the file.
I assume Iām overlooking something simple. How can I use this as a standalone plugin to import into my own projects? Iām hoping I can find devices/plugins for all my stuff and just spend my time on my templates/layouts rather than programming, because god knows I am not going to learn javascript.
Wow I canāt believe people are still coming over from irule!
I wrote the plug-in probably a year or more ago, Iām sure the api has changed since then. I would recommend taking a look around the forum and plug-ins as a first step.
The app is so much more than I/rule. Enjoy it.
