Need a little help with this if anyone can. I feel like I'm so close. I can type the kodi device ip address into my web browser on another computer with the forwarded port, enter the username/pass and access the web interface (and click the control on my computer screen and it operates the kodi device hooked up to the tv). so obviously the port forwarding is set up properly, but when i give the GH the voice command it still does nothing... so i guess the ifttt applet is wrong? Any help would be appreciated. My google home even gives the reply I put in for the trigger command but no response from Kodi.

when they are talking about port forwarding they are talking about making kodi accessible over the internet. when you say that you "type the kodi device ip address into my web browser on another computer" i am assuming that you are typing in kodi's lan ip something like 192.168.xxx.xxx from a computer on the same network not your public ip. you don't need to port forward anything to get the web interface on a computer on the same network, so checking it from a computer on the same network will not prove the the port forwarding was done correctly.

I'm sorry for a beginner-level question, but can you provide detailed instructions about how to get the Maker code to work? I have a feeling I am getting messed up with the External IP address.

I searched for my external IP address (Google: What's my IP) and went to my MediaLink router, went to Virtual Server and for Port Forwarding I have Start/End port as 8080, the IP as 192.8.1.XXX (the XXX is the specific IP address (which has been confirmed to work using the YATSE remote on my phone), then I have the protocol as Both and Enable is clicked.

I have tried to go to http://TestUserName:[email protected]:8080 using my browser and phone but this does not take me to the remote web interface and the code URL: http://TestUserName:[email protected]?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.PlayPause","params":{"playerid":1},"id":1} does not work either.

Any additional help would be much appreciated!

@dazedniteman.

Break it down, test it internally first, make it as simple as possible, remove passwords/usernames (be sure to add them back though!)

So for example does http://TestUserName:[email protected]:8080 bring up the Kodi web interface and if so does http://TestUserName:[email protected]?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.PlayPause","params":{"playerid":1},"id":1} work?

by doing the above your removing any potential issues with port forwarding, if the above doesn't work internally then there's something incorrect with a setting in Kodi or maybe a firewall?

Once you can get it to work internally you can then move to getting it work externally and sort out port forwarding...

Thank you for your help! I ended up getting it to work. I think there was an issue with how I transcribed the code. Once again, thank you

I would really like Kodi 16 to get an official IFTTT channel so that we can Play and Pause Kodi using Amazon Echo or using other devices. Please make this happen.

I know that IFTTT normal pricing for its commercial partners is $199 a month (billed annually so $2388 a year) but the XBMC Foundation as a non-profit originazation could maybe get in touch with IFTTT about a custom "Partner Plus" enterprise option for the ability to publish Kodi recipies for free on IFTTT?

Would love for Kodi to 'just work' with Google Home and Google Assistance, and I'm sure that users of Amazon Echo / Alexa feel the same.

FYI; IFTTT platform have now dropped development cost completly for its 'maker' tier, letting anyone create a publish IFTTT "Applets" for free to the public.

https://www.engadget.com/amp/2017/05/25/...r-recipes/

FTTT is opening up its recipe/ applet creating platform to everyone, with a free 'maker' tier that offers deeper programming options beyond the simple "if this then that" UI most IFTTT aficionados use. You could already do this, making private applets for your own use, but this announcement means part-time developers can share any awesome applets with the greater IFTTT community, including lazy ingrates like myself.

Its means that any developer with a smart idea (even if they're not directly involved with a company or online service), can bring their own internet shortcuts to the masses. Better still, because of how these applets work, they'll do the job on any connected device, even if the developer doesn't own the device themselves. There are already 440 services to tap into on IFTTT, and you'll be able to apply your own Javascript code to recipes.

Makers can build and publish Applets that work with existing partners. Official partners can plug their data and APIs into IFTTT and publish a service.
