Having an issue where Kodi is not getting a directory listing of files from IIS webservers, but can get the listing from apache servers just fine. And yes, directory listing is enabled.

This is happening with Kodi 16 and 17 on Android as well as Windows.

Basically use is like this:

- Add http source that is an IIS server with directory browsing enabled.
- Go to Addons - Install from zip - select newly added source.
- Nothing. No files listed.

- Add http source that is Apache with directory browsing enabled
- Go to Addons - Install from zip - select newly added source.
- Files are listed!

This is also happening with HTTPS.

Anyone have any ideas? I was unable to locate anything on bug tracker about this.

Relevant part of debug log:

the http directory is parsed using regular expressions - it has one set for lighttpd, one for apache and one for nginx, but none for iis. try dav or patch xbmc/filesystem/HTTPDirectory.cpp

Any reason why there isn't anything in there for IIS? I wish I was familiar with regex and C++ to understand what was going on.

Hi,

I had the same issue but not with IIS but with another web server 'Light Speed'.

After hours or trial and error I found a solution as no matter what I did Kodi would not look at the directory listing. Although in my case it was to view fanart images for a skin.

Although not the same but it may help.

I used a php directory listing script from http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/php_li...ectory.php .

Although I needed to add the <?php ..... ?> tag to the printed version on the site it worked great.

Here is the whole code without the php tag as it wont post here being php code.

Quote:// open this directory
$myDirectory = opendir(".");

// get each entry
while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory)) {
$dirArray[] = $entryName;
}

// close directory
closedir($myDirectory);

// count elements in array
$indexCount = count($dirArray);
Print ("$indexCount files<br>\n");

// sort 'em
sort($dirArray);

// print 'em
print("<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 class=whitelinks>\n");
print("<TR><TH>Filename</TH><th>Filetype</th><th>Filesize</th></TR>\n");
// loop through the array of files and print them all
for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++) {
if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != "."){ // don't list hidden files
print("<TR><TD><a href=\"$dirArray[$index]\">$dirArray[$index]</a></td>");
print("<td>");
print(filetype($dirArray[$index]));
print("</td>");
print("<td>");
print(filesize($dirArray[$index]));
print("</td>");
print("</TR>\n");
}
}
print("</TABLE>\n");

Good luck and hope this helps.

because none of the devs uses IIS for such things and nobody else contributed code for it.
