I want to show a popup notification in KODI.
Can anyone help me to build a json request via HTTP.
I want to send via HTTP command a simple Message.
I tried this, but I don't get any feedback back:
http://192.168.1.87:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.NotifyAll", "params": {"sender": "homee", "message": "Test"}, "id": 1}
If I try it I get no response back and no notifications inside Kodi.
I have a simple python program that can send a message to Kodi. I think if you do a search you should be able to find a way to do what you want via http, but I found it easier to just use python.
Code:
#!/bin/env/python
#updated on 3/15/2016 by Harry to pass parameters for title and message
#meassage parameter should be the filename of the file just processed by Comskip
#also utilizing xbmcjson due to easier interface.

import time
from xbmcjson import XBMC, PLAYER_VIDEO
# constants start

colon = ':'

#port = '80'
# The username on XBMC's web interface (just comment or delete this line if you don't use authentication

# Same as the username. No password for my system.
password = ''
#
json_name = back_slash + "jsonrpc"
full_http = "http:" + back_slash + back_slash + ip + colon + port + json_name
xbmc = XBMC(full_http)
#

Thanks, but does no one use the Notifications with HTTP?
Works now, so it is solved!
Hey Chris,
would you mind sharing your solution?
Thanks
Karl
Yes of course.
Here is the URL base:
http://192.168.1.87:8080/jsonrpc?request=
And the parameters are:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "GUI.ShowNotification", "params": {"title": "HERE ADD THE TITLE", "message": "ADD THE MESSAGE HERE" }, "id": 1}

This has worked for me to for a long time, but no longer works in Kodi Leia
i get an
{"error":{"code":-32099,"message":"Bad client permission."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
cant figure it out on what to change or use next
any sugestions ?

This can be the problem.
Since LEIA the GET does not support actions.
We need to use POST.
I have not tried it yet so can you check if you can set as "protocol" "POST?
