Hi all,
I'm new to all this JSON-RPC stuff, and what I have been working on is a JavaScript function that POSTs to the Kodi box at a specified IP and port.
The IP is set to the local IP of the device running Kodi and port is set to the one in Kodi settings.
The problem is that I'm met with a Cross-Origin Request Blocked error, with it complaining that CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' is missing.
Is there something else I have to do?
