Kodi Community Forum - JSON-RPC not answering

Hello, I just recently updated Kodi 17.6 and it seems that all of my JSON-RPC calls are not working anymore. For example

:
curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://user:pass@localhost:7777/jsonrpc

When the debug logging is enabled I can see this single line for every request

:
DEBUG: CWebServer[7777]: request received for /jsonrpc

but there is no response. It doesn't even matter if I put credentials in the request or not.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, kopi

First to which device OS you need to send the json-rpc?

and check the port number of the user I think it's not 7777

hello networkmad and thanks for your response

i'm running kodi on ubuntu 18.04.

shouldn't it be the same port as for the webinterface? i configured it that way. and when i try another port, eg 7778, i'll get

Code:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 7778: Connection refused

the curl version, if it matters

Code:
curl 7.58.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.1.0g zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1 (+libidn2/2.0.4) nghttp2/1.30.0 librtmp/2.3

Could you provide with full log as file. Enable full logs !

I tested a few more things and it seems it has to do with my password. I changed it to a much simpler one and that was working. Then I tried a few other, more complex, which were also working. Guess it's time to set a new password anyway...

But thanks for your interest, kopi

Good news to let it work...about password issue...sometimes check the typing letters and numbers in plain text because ssh access in Linux type some characters not correctly...sometimes happened with me!

Good Luck
