Ya I did that in Kodi settings. The Kodi Instance is on a Xbox one.
I gave up on getting it to work and just use a rm3 infrared blaster
That’s a pity. Control over IP has a lot of advantages.
Your telling me. It’s a frekin infrared communication method. Like the least efficient data transmission method without any way of ensuring data was received. And it bugs my router out something fierce for no apparent reason. Thanks tp-link…
Hello all
Thank you for pointing me to this
I installed bonjour on my Kodi pc and enabled zeroconf with no UID PWD. i enabled the web interface in kodi options/Settings/Services/control with no password using chorus web interface
still when i enter the ip address of the htcp and port 8080 i still get the connection failed error
i did restart kodi (and the pc)

You are not alone. There might be a problem with the Kodi library Home Assistant relies on:

Would you mind checking if your Kodi JSON RPC is responding with duplicate Content-Length headers?
If you see two Content-Length headers instead of one, I think that is causing it to break the HA integration (specifically the library Home Assistant uses for Async HTTP). If you have a similar issue to me, your report on GitHub would be very helpful in resolving the issue.
Hello all
you are right ver 19 of kodi is definitely not completed or stable. It had issues with building and assigning playlists youtube weather and other addons. So I uninstalled version 19 and reverted to ver 18.9 and all works.
the plugin works only if kodi is running on the targeted pc. If kodi is running the then i can manage kodi from phone via HA
I do have kodi to start when the computer powers up and the playlist start playing … almost great
2 issues remain)
- how do i control multiple kodi instances ( by march I will have 5 of them, however only 2 will need to be part of an automation (or should be part of it)?
- how do i start kodi as part of the automation once the pc is started with WOL as opposed to start it it via task manager?
thank you for your help
You just add multiple instances of the integration via the UI. This is supported.
Not messy at all:
Thank you for this
I have been trying all morning to connect the second integration. (To date I do not know how the first
kodi integration worked)
again i imputed the following into the second kodi integration
http://192.168.1.177 8080 as a port I still get a failed to connect message
since you all are so successful in completing these integrations i feel so inept. could there3 be something in my network configuration, permissions or something else not properly configured. if so i do not know what i am doing .
Both kodis are configured correctly and the same all the access to all my environment have the same UID and PWD (to simplify my life) and both are on ver 18.9
what the foubar am i doing wrong
Hello all
i tinkered with it since my last post to no avail.
my first instance works fine for now (i have more to do with it) but try as i may (even uninstalling and re-installing the integration) and i still get a:
failed to connect error message
Ya I gave up and just use my Xbox, it’s integration, and a ir blaster and it all works fine. Kodi is kinda shit anyway.
Hello in your picture it seems like you have 1 integration (the same) with 2 kodi installations. t tried to tinker and i cannot seem to replicate this. You must be a well versed in this
Are both installs using Kodi 18.x now?
The “Failed to connect” error should only happen on the most recent versions from what I have gathered. Unless of course they have embedded the broken HTTP server into the latest releases of 18.x now?
Hi @kingo55
thank you for your response. i re-installed kodi 18.9 on this laptop and re configured the http access. and i tried to add another kodi integration. when i go to configure i add the http “http:/.192.168.1.177” which is the ip address of my kodi installation on my laptop (that i use for testing) and verified the ip address on my router I still get a failed connect message. I do have bonjour installed and in kodi i did go to kodi setting services to activate the remote access. but still i gate the failed message
What precisely did you do?
That is not an ip address. An ip address does not have any letters in it. Even if it wanted a url (which it doesn’t), yours is mistyped.
That is still not an IP address. It is a url. I thought I made it quite clear in my last post?
And you didn’t answer my question about what precisely you did.
