kodicontroller 0.0.1

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.
