Pimp1310 1 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Hello, I use the emby addon under Kodi 18.9. I noticed that when I use the emby addon the json rpc API doesn't work properly. I noticed it while programming a widget for Openhab3. and then I made a few Json calls, once with the normal Kodi database without Emby and once with. Here are the results: my Api Call http://192.168.0.166:8023/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": ["title", "season", "episode", "duration", "showtitle", "tvshowid", "thumbnail", "file", "fanart"], "playerid": 1 }, "id": "VideoGetItem"} here the result with the EMBY- Addon Database : { "id": "VideoGetItem", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": { "item": { "episode": -1, "fanart": "image://http%3a%2f%2f192.168.0.199%3a8096%2femby%2fItems%2f39530%2fImages%2fBackdrop%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3db5dcf3acfdc83dd356e6231d3e886f78/", "file": "http://192.168.0.199:8096/emby/Videos/39530/stream", "label": "Godzilla II: King of the Monsters", "season": -1, "showtitle": "", "thumbnail": "image://http%3a%2f%2f192.168.0.199%3a8096%2femby%2fItems%2f39530%2fImages%2fPrimary%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3d7e043e2c5f462165c3c7cea04fe84b24/", "title": "", "tvshowid": -1, "type": "unknown" } } } you see the item "type" type : unknown is "unknown", i tested it with episodes too, the same. here the result with the Kodi Original Database : { "id": "VideoGetItem", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": { "item": { "episode": -1, "fanart": "image://https%3a%2f%2fimage.tmdb.org%2ft%2fp%2foriginal%2fjb6Ju38HmKX0bYHCmAxs8HyNeJ2.jpg/", "file": "ftp://marc:aerowing@192.168.0.199:21/10TB_White/Filme/4K/Godzilla 2 King of the Monsters (2019) [4K] [HDR10+]/Godzilla 2 King of the Monsters (2019) [4K] [HDR10+].mkv", "id": 126, "label": "Godzilla II: King of the Monsters", "season": -1, "showtitle": "", "thumbnail": "image://https%3a%2f%2fimage.tmdb.org%2ft%2fp%2foriginal%2fxVSfmpNmKs7pH7ejaGjQlN5dwRH.jpg/", "title": "Godzilla II: King of the Monsters", "tvshowid": -1, "type": "movie" } } } here is the "type" item = movie I played around with it a little, and then not only the item "type" is missing but also "rating", "genre", "title","season", "episode". (season,episode) by episodes, not movies. Any Ideas whats here wrong? Edited February 4, 2021 by Pimp1310 added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1344 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I assume you are using emby for kodi plugin in 4.x version. Quite sure that this issue is related to some design flaws of the plugin. You can give emby-next-gen (5.x) version a try. I should work there.
