JSON-RPC web server not starting without network interface - Thof - 2020-10-28
Hi All,
I'm running into the issue that I have a small application controlling Kodi through JSON-RPC commands, but the webserver does not seem to have started because there is no network interface.
This is a simple offline kiosk solution that runs off a raspberry pi zero.
Previously I had this working with Kodi 16, but after switching to 18.7 the webserver does not seem to be active and commands cannot be send to localhost. Again all of this was working on Kodi 16...
If I have a wifi dongle present during boot all is fine, Kodi starts and I can control it.
Has something changed that prevents the web server from listening to localhost or is this a bug in Kodi 18.7?
Hope someone can shed some light on this issue and hopefully propose a solution. I don't want to rely on a usb network interface for my application to work!
