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.
i add the kodi integration
i insert http://192.168.1.177 port 8080 is automatically there and click ok and i get connection failed
i also tried to insert just 192.168.1.177 and i get the same result
I asked what you did when you say re configured the http access
hi first thank you for responding and for your patience.
I did configure kodi http access correctly by turning it on
I figured out the issue (yes i’m dumb) on my first computer kodi starts automatically when the computer is turned on by the automation. at 7:30 hence the integration worked flawlessly .
On the second pc (not covered by an automation) kodi does not start automatically when the computer starts.
Therefore the integration would not connect to kodi on this computer.
When i started kodi on this computer the integration worked.
now i need to have kodi start by start with playing a playlist (and eventually on a specific alexa speaker. (to play a wake up playlist as the alarm in the morning)
once again thank you for your patience
