Kodi controller

Project description

This package provides an array of functions which can be used to control a Kodi instance.

For full details of exactly what functions are available, the necessary parameters which must be provided to those functions and exactly what the subsequent processing of the response is please refer to the source code directly.

Note: This is a work in progress and not all Kodi JSON methods are implemented.

Example

This is an example of the GetMovies method given a kodi server at 192.168.0.1, using port 8000 (username=’user1’, password=’pwd’):

controller = kodicontroller.KodiController()
controller.SetServer('192.168.0.1', '8000', 'user1', 'pwd')
controller.VideoLibrary_GetMovies()

This will setup the Kodi JSON client given the provided server details and call the VideoLibrary.GetMovies JSON method with the following parameters:

params = {'properties':['title',
                        'lastplayed',
                        'thumbnail',
                        'plot',
                        'playcount',
                        'resume',
                        'file']}
movies = server.VideoLibrary.GetMovies(params)

The response will then be parsed to extract an appropriate resume percentage and it will also download and (optionally) locally cache any thumbnails.
