I'm having an ugly little problem with the server responses using websocket.

I'm using a websocket connection to communicate to Kodi server, but I cannot handle the responses depending on what they are responding for. I was able to implement a workaround to handle the requests synchronously, but it's not a gentle solution and it doesn't work perfect. I can't relay on the server response to parse the received data because I don't know what server it's responding for.

For example, if I send a request to the server by using the api method "Application.GetProperties", I can receive the response to that call. But I can receive any other response (like a notification for OnStop, for example) between that method call and its response.

It would be perfect that the Kodi server includes in the response what method is responding for. If you invoke the "Application.GetProperties" method, the server response will include a param with: "method":"Application.GetProperties". I wonder why this was not contemplated when websocket connection were added.

Of course using HTTP there is no problem at all, because of the connection protocol. This problem occurs only when using a websocket connection.

Thank you all!

Returning the requested method isn't bullet proof because you could send multiple requests to the same method before receiving a response. Just put a unique ID into every request and then you can easily match the response to the request you made. Notifications like Player.OnStop do not contain any "id" property.

I send the following JSON command to get movie details:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"VideoLibrary.GetMovieDetails","params":{"movieid":38,"properties":["title","genre","year","rating","director","plot","thumbnail","cast"]},"id":55}

All informations is returned correctly but the cast information is very long. The cast information includes:
Name
Order
Role
Thumbnail

Because I will am not going to show the cast thumbnails within my GUI it would be helpful not to receive this information. Is there a way to filter this and if so, how?
I am still learning how to use the JSON and I am getting better in it, but it is a pretty steep learning curve.

No, this needs to be in an NFO (so that stream details are added to the library during scanning) or the stream details will be added to the library only when the item is first played.
