Hi

When I try to create new connection to Libreelec box (8.2.5, with kodi 17.6) from kore (v 2.4.4), and click "Test" button, I get "Can't connect to Kodi/XBMC. Please check configuration" message and the host is not added.
I tested same configuration (ip, port, username and password) with yatse on same device and it works, so I think it's not a network or kodi configuration problem. Indeed, I can ping kodi host from android device, telnet to port 80 and 9090 works (can establish connection).

I did a tcpdump on my router while trying to add the host and this is what I found:

Code:

Kore->Kodi
POST /jsonrpc HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 49
Host: 192.168.2.82
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: okhttp/2.3.0

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"JSONRPC.Ping","id":25}

Kodi->Kore
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 0
Connection: close
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=XBMC
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 23:07:19 GMT



It seems kore forgot to send basic authentication to kodi (I'm sure i filled the fields on the kore gui). I tried to do a similar request in python but with basic auth and I got:

Code:


>>> import requests as r
>>> rr=r.post('http://192.168.2.82/jsonrpc', auth=('username,'password'), json={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"JSONRPC.Ping","id":25})
>>> rr.content
b'{"id":25,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"pong"}'
>>> rr.status_code
200


Any idea? It's strange I'm the only with this problem
