I do see that in the JSON-RPC Wiki. what about tagging? I'm working on IFTTT with Google assistant and would like to say "Ok Google" I want to watch <movie name>. I'm working on a python script to handle the GET from IFTTT and process the the suggestion you had.
Thanks for the input.
Happyoldguy, yeah that's exactly what I was trying to do without making an intermediary script for mapping name to id.
jonib, Thanks, I'll look into VideoLibrary.GetMovies.
Ok so last night I dabbled with VideoLibrary.GetMovies and this seems to work to get me the file of the movie by title. Now I need to see how to make this work. If you come up with something please let me know. If I get the solution Ill let you know here.
Code:http://192.168.15.117/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "params": {"sort": {"order": "ascending", "method": "title"}, "filter": {"operator": "is", "field": "title", "value": "<movie title here>"}, "properties": ["title", "art", "file"]}, "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "id": "libMovies"}
I got something like this working in node.js, it takes an incoming GET request, extracts the movie title, looks it up in the Kodi library, gets the associated MovieId, then sends the play command. I've just recently started teaching myself javascript but this has been working for me. See here if you're interested: https://github.com/destructure00/kodi-lookup
Code:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var request = require('request');
const serverPort = 8078;
app.get('/kodi-lookup', function (req, res) {
if (!req.query) return res.sendStatus(400)
console.log(req.query);
var movie_title = req.query.movie_title.toLowerCase().replace('the ','');
var kodi_ip = req.query.kodi_ip;
if (movie_title && kodi_ip){
res.send('Searching for ' + movie_title + ' on ' + kodi_ip);
console.log('Searching for ' + movie_title + ' on ' + kodi_ip);
var options = {
uri: 'http://'+kodi_ip+':8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "id":1}',
method: 'GET',
json: true
};
request(options, function(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
var jsonBody = JSON.stringify(body);
console.log(jsonBody);
var nameList = jsonBody.split('"label":"');
console.info("Found " + nameList.length + " movies in library");
var movieCount = nameList.length;
var i;
for(i = 0; i < movieCount; i++) {
var endPos = nameList[i].indexOf('"');
nameList[i] = nameList[i].substring(0,endPos).toLowerCase().replace('the ','');
console.info(nameList[i]);
}
var movieId = nameList.indexOf(movie_title);
console.info("Found match, movieId: " + movieId);
play(kodi_ip, movieId);
}
});
}else{
res.send('Error');
}
})
app.listen(serverPort);
console.log("Listening on port "+serverPort);
function play (kodi_ip, movieID) {
var options = {
uri: 'http://'+kodi_ip+':8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"Player.Open", "id":1,"params":{"item":{"movieid":' + movieID + '}}}',
method: 'GET',
json: true
};
request(options, function(error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log("Sending play command to " + kodi_ip);
console.log(body);
}
});
}As for the trigger, I'm using Google Home -> IFTTT -> SmartThings hub -> node.js app, where the SmartThings hub is acting as the intermediary between the internet and my local network. If you can get something to trigger the request on your local network, the request would look like this:
Code:
http://192.168.0.110:8078/kodi-lookup?movie_title=minions&kodi_ip=192.168.0.113HTTP response looks like this:
Code:
Searching for minions on 192.168.0.113Console response looks like this:
Code:
Listening on port 8078
{ movie_title: 'minions', kodi_ip: '192.168.0.113' }
