Hi

Im attempting to use some JSON commands in a kodi app im playing with but most examples use the requests library. But if i try to import the library ("import requests") it breaks my code.. So i think ive just missed something important somewhere could someone point me in the right direction for getting this working?

Thanks! Big Grin
Is the requests module installed on your system? If not: script.module.requests-2.12.4.zip
If you are trying to access a json response from a local Kodi instance use Kodi's API, request modules only needed to access LAN response.

See i thought it should be installed as it is listed here "http://kodi.wiki/view/Category:Add-on_libraries/modules" how do i check if its installed?

Yep i am trying to access LAN response, not local Sad
Ok so after a bit more searching i found this thread:

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=263922

in which sounds like someone having the same issue as me. So after following this i added into script.module.requests-2.12.4 into \Kodi\addons

script.module.requests

added to addon.xml

<import addon="script.module.requests" version="2.12.4"/>

in addon.py

import requests


but i still get an error Sad am i putting the lib in the correct spot? In the kodi addon settings i've allowed from unknown sources, is there something else i should be doing?

You can no longer simply drop a folder into the addons directory. You'll need to install from zip.
That was it! thanks mate really appreciate it!!!
Excellent! Keep us posted with your progress.
