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!

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.

Thanks for the responses!

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?

If not: script.module.requests-2.12.4.zip

And if i find its not installed how do i go about installing this? Sorry im real noob with this kodi stuff

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 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.
