Hi there. I've been trying to control XBMC through tasker using the JSON-RPC, but haven't had a working project so far. Perhaps someone can help me to understand the subject matter?
I've set up a 'http get'-task with the attribute as per the wiki, but it doesn't trigger anything
Tried the url from IE. Doesn't work either. However, the url that does trigger a library update is:
However, this does lead to IE asking me for the username and password (I was under the impression that http-requests don't require them).
So basically I'm stumped as to:
a) How to deal with the username and password
b) How to get it into tasker
Perhaps someone can lend me their expertise?
