Is remote control via json dead on Leia for now? - houser - 2018-12-13
Hello,
Have tested all builds up to RC2 on Mac Mojave Win 10 as well as the latest alpha 9 on Libre elec.
It seems to me that the remote control via json is dead. I might be missing something obvious but it seems so.
The official iOS app also appears not to work.
I would suspect this is a known issue, as many people is using the remote protocol I am sure...?
Is this slated for some love in RC3 maybe?

I'm using Yatse and Kore on my Android devices to control Kodi since ages and I never found a Kodi version where this is not supported. Have you enabled the webserver in Kodi? As that's mandatory for the use of remote apps.

Thanks for reply DaVu, appreciated.
Yes, also a kodi user that has used json extensively in my own remotes (iRule) for a very long time.
The web server and the webgui works as before in Leia. just not the json commands. Many thanks.
Are you yourself using JSON succesfully in Leia if I may ask?

Things changed a bit for Leia - see this thread (and indeed other posts in that section) for more details.

Just returning to mention for others looking for a solution for this, that it started working after some excellent advice from here:
https://getsatisfaction.com/irule/topics/kodi-18-leia-and-new-json-delivery
The trick with iRule for at least me was to drop the encoding and use a network gateway rather than http.
Along with some cleverly doctored fixes in that thread it works great. FWIW, YMMV
Good luck.
