Strange behaviour - Kodi connection refused reported

Configuration
1

Since migrating to 0.115 I am having problems with Kodi controls. Integrations has successfully detected my Kodi device but HASS is doing some very weird things.

If I restart HASS I get the following error in the log…

Home Assistant has started!

OK so the port on Kodi @ 192.168.1.115 is actually 9090 I can prove this because I can connect to Kodi OK using browser to http://192.168.1.115:9090;

Lets change it (on kodi) to 8080 (I can now connect to kodi OK using browser to http://192.168.1.115:8080)

Do nothing to HASS except restart.

I now get the following error in the log (having never touched HASS Settings at all):

Any help on this gratefully received!

Have you deleted your Kodi yaml configuration?

Even though my yaml configuration was imported into integrations home assistant still “discovered” my two Kodi boxes again after I deleted my yaml and restarted. :roll_eyes:

So I deleted all four of the Kodi integrations (two duplicates), restarted and added and configured the 2 newly discovered integrations.

Been running well since.

@tom_l, thanks for the reply.

I’m not entirely sure what is meant by Kodi yaml configuration? I have some configs for kodi as a media_player… is this what is meant my this? (sorry for being a dummy)

My setup is Here

That is exactly what I meant. It is no longer required now that the Kodi integration is set up via the UI.

@tom_l. This fixed it (I also upgraded to 115.2). Thanks for your help.

I also ended up with duplicates! (I just ignored them). :crazy_face:

I guess the documentation needs to be updated “The preferred way to set up the Kodi platform is by through discovery” should be changed to “The only way to set up the Kodi platform is by through discovery” it is, after all, what they mean :laughing:
