Hi

I'm trying to get this plugin to work. I went back to Isengard to test

Try instruction from woodhook but doesn't work for me, still have an error when I enable
I have just installed this on isengard. Reporting my experience, FWIW.

Downloaded the zip from github. Install failed citing inability to find the CallListenerClients. I unzipped, rearranged the components putting the required bits in the same directory with service.py and it worked. I don't work much with python, so maybe the failure was owing to some stupidity on my part regarding python and import, but this kludge worked.

My error message in the log is
EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
Error Contents: No module named CallListenerClients.NcidClient
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/lwalsh/.kodi/addons/service.script.call-notifications-master/service.py", line 9, in <module>
from CallListenerClients.NcidClient import NcidClient
ImportError: No module named CallListenerClients.NcidClient
-->End of Python script error report<--

Not finding the module CallListenerClients.NcidClient

Did download full zip from github

Move files around hoping to solve. Any more idea for me.

Thanks

If you're using NCID, you can create a simple NCID module to make a JSON-RPC call to Kodi to pop up a notification. Mine looks like the following; it's based on the script attached to this post on the NCID forums.

#!/bin/sh

# Send a message to Kodi
# usage: --no-gui --program ncid-kodi


# input is always 8 lines
#
# if input is from a call:
# input: DATE\nTIME\nNUMBER\nNAME\nLINE\nTYPE\n\n
#
# if input is from a message
# input: DATE\nTIME\nNUMBER\nNAME\nLINE\nTYPE\nMESG\n
#
# $TYPE is one of:
#   CID: incoming call
#   OUT: outgoing call
#   HUP: blacklisted hangup
#   MSG: message instead of a call
#   NOT: android text
#   PID: android call

read DATE
read TIME
read NMBR
read NAME
read LINE
read TYPE
read MESG
read MTYPE

user="kodi"
pass="kodi"
port="8080"
host1="sagittarius"
host2="nebulosity"
host3="delphinus"

if [ "$TYPE" != "CID" ]
then
  exit 0
fi

body="{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"GUI.ShowNotification\",\"params\":{\"title\":\"Call from $NAME\",\"message\":\"$NMBR\",\"displaytime\":5000},\"id\":1}"

/usr/bin/curl -m 5 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$body" http://$user:$pass@$host1:$port/jsonrpc &
/usr/bin/curl -m 5 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$body" http://$user:$pass@$host2:$port/jsonrpc &
/usr/bin/curl -m 5 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$body" http://$user:$pass@$host3:$port/jsonrpc &

wait

exit 0

how does that need installed and called at startup of the ncidd server?

I did this:

1. put the script in /usr/share/ncid/modules/ncid-kodi
2. cp /etc/init.d/ncid-page /etc/init.d/ncid-kodi
3. Edit /etc/init.d/ncid-kodi -- just replace occurrences of "ncid-page" with "ncid-kodi"
4. sudo systemctl enable ncid-kodi
5. sudo systemctl start ncid-kodi

Great job on creating this NCID-KODI module. I have this caller ID notification working successfully on 4-Zotac PC running on Kodi version 17.6 using Libreelec distro.
