Currently working on addon support. Looks like I will be able to start an addon, but I can't control them. So directly playing a movie on Exodus won't be possible, but starting Exodus is gonna work.
greetings,
Aaron
PS. Any idea how to start a favorite item in kodi (radio stations)? Maybe with a http request?
As for your favourites. You'd probably be able to start an addon. Which addon do you use for your radio stations?
I use Radio (http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:radio), there I set some stations to be favorite so I can excess them easily.
greetings,
Aaron
- Add all your stuff you want to watch to your Trakt watchlist (movies and tv shows)
- Install Specto, configure Specto to integrate with your Kodi library
- Import your Trakt watchlist to Kodi via Specto
- Configure autoplay in Specto (so you don't have to select a stream after selecting a movie)
Voila. Now you can use voice commands to start streaming movies and series . Flows don't seem to be fired properly if you stream movies. I'll have to look into this.
Got it via devices. Thanks.
Changelog:
- Added add-on support (start add-ons through "start addon xxxxx")
- Fixed flow triggers for movie started by addons (e.g. exodus). Note that episodes cannot be distinguished when played by Exodus. Exodus thinks it's a movie.
- Fixed a bug where the 'play latest episode' action card didn't work
Not a big priority, I get that. Would be nice though...
When I do so, Homey says 'Ik kon het apparaat niet vinden'.
is there a small user guide for wich settings you minimal need in Kodi to have, to work with the app? Would also be helpfull for New users
I still have problems, even after installing my pc freshly and only Kodi on it. Still getting error 200 :-(
Discovered another problem in the mean time
I have a flow:
'When movie starts' and 'variable sunset=true", then 'turn off <light>'
I had this flow already some weeks ago on a previous app and firmware version, it worked as expected.
Now it doesn't.
When I do a test of the flow, it works. But when I actually start a movie, it doesn't.
Seems like it's not detected correctly that a movie has started.
Investigating guys! Will let you know asap.
Are you guys playing movies that are stored on your kodi device / NAS or movies that are integrated in your library through e.g. Spectro ? Also, what Homey firmware are you guys on?
Edit:
I just created simple flows based on kodi triggers (e.g. onMovieStart > say 'Play movie xxx' ) and literally every trigger works as expected. Tried it on Homey FW 0.8.32. Even after shutting down Homey and letting the app automatically reconnect when it's rebooted again. Will update my 2nd Homey to 0.8.38 and see what happens.
Edit 2:
Updated my Homey to FW 0.8.38, tried the same flows and indeed, nothing happens. I can see my app firing the triggers to homey in my debug logs, but nothing happens.
Edit 3:
Created a test case for just the trigger action. Works perfectly on 0.8.32, but does nothing on 0.8.38. I chucked @Emile a message on slack, hopefully he knows whether something changed in 0.8.38.
I use a NAS to store my media and I use a MySQL database library which is running on the NAS as well but I assume that would not make a difference.
It's annoying I have to turn off my lights myself now when I start a movie
We'll just have to wait for the next firmware...
The iPhone apps I use work perfect on both installations. (Port 8080 as well as Port 9090)
having this issue for several weeks now and haven't dug into it to much yet.
someone else using nightly builds by any chance?
I will add a log view in the settings in the next release, so you guys are able to provide me with some more info when things are not working as expected.
Note: Because of the fact that I need to store device data differently as of 0.8.38, you NEED to delete and re-add your devices. Also make sure that you re-add the Kodi triggers to your flows afterwards.
Edit: Also added logging. You can now see the last 50 log items in the settings page of the app
How do I install v1.3.1 on Homey?
Installed 1.3.1 on 0.8.3.8, had to reboot and re-add the kodi device.
- English speech commands are working.
- Flows are working.
- Triggers are working.
- Logging is working on the Settings menu.
Need anything other than this tested?
These entries are from around the 6 minutes this evening when my Homey rebooted after the firmware upgrade to 0.8.39. At that time my Kodi system was shut off so it's understandable it could not reconnect. But later this evening I started my Kodi system to watch a serie but it did not reconnect at that time (no log entry or whatsoever) and therefor also did not trigger any of the flows (like start episode, pause, play, shutdown etc.).
So it seems the Kodi app did not reconnect my Kodi system after being unable to reconnect earlier when my Kodi system was shutdown. @EvertorN , previously you mentioned that it should be able to do so after I asked about this use case, any clue what is going on here and what I can do to further test this?
