emby next gen and the json rpc api -----> problems over problems

[Pimp1310 1]

hello,

 

i tried to request over the json api of kodi to get the fanart of a current playing media.

according to kodi rpc wiki the answer to the request should look like this

 

"tvshow.fanart": "image://nfs%3a%2f%2fCUBER%2fmedia%2fpreserved%2fTVShows%2fV%20(2009)%2ffanart.jpg/",

 

this is what i get with EXACT the same request

 

"tvshow.fanart": "image://http%3a%2f%2f127.0.0.1%3a57578%2f44706%2fImages%2fBackdrop%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3d7273c77065e8d1761f9d9aae042e67e6/",

 

 

 

how can I access the fanart? I've been trying for hours

 

Thank You

The example with NFS is native mode.

the http is addon mode.

"image://http%3a%2f%2f127.0.0.1%3a57578%2f44706%2fImages%2fBackdrop%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3d7273c77065e8d1761f9d9aae042e67e6/",

seems correct.

Here is an example from my Kodi DB:

http://127.0.0.1:57578/944665/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=d7b780f0ed288afcf1767b4ac5a28718

 

So decode %3a%2f%2f = "://" etc. and it should work. As a test, drop the actual (decoded link) into a browser WHEN Kodi is RUNNING

i tried everything

 

my kodi IP = 192.168.0.164:8023

 

i tried 

 

http://192.168.0.164%3a57578%2f44706%2fImages%2fBackdrop%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3d7273c77065e8d1761f9d9aae042e67e6/

or

http://192.168.0.164%3a8023%2f44706%2fImages%2fBackdrop%2f0%3fEnableImageEnhancers%3dTrue%26Tag%3d7273c77065e8d1761f9d9aae042e67e6/

or

 

http://192.168.0.164:57578/44712/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=a1bb61a46530de76b18b8b9e544f14b1

 

or

Don't use 192.168.0.164

Use 127.0.0.1. It's piped threw a socket, that's why kodi must be started.

[quickmic 1516]

And decode ALL data. :// was just an example.

It should look like:

http://127.0.0.1:57578/44706/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=7273c77065e8d1761f9d9aae042e67e6

I hope I decode it correctly (manually)

okay, i tried

 

http://127.0.0.1:57578/44712/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=a1bb61a46530de76b18b8b9e544f14b1/

or

http://127.0.0.1:8023/44712/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=a1bb61a46530de76b18b8b9e544f14b1/

 

in my browser, kodi is running, but i get a "website is not reachable"

[quickmic 1516]

both are wrong.

Second is wrong port 8023

first is almost correct, but remove the "/" at the tail.

http://127.0.0.1:57578/44712/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=a1bb61a46530de76b18b8b9e544f14b1

hmm, than I don't know, sorry. It should work and works for me.

You can install sqlite browser, open the kodi myvideo.db (art) and read the actual links from there. Maybe you find the issue.

why in your adress is "emby"?

 

 

the path

http://127.0.0.1:57578/20497/Images/Backdrop/0?EnableImageEnhancers=True&Tag=4e139f02e3dd7ff5f84a48b922c020ff

 

 

and my browser

Not sure I understand you questions. That's the Emby-server API.

 

[quickmic 1516]

127.0.0.1:57578 calls the Emby-next-gen socket which redirects to the actual Emby server URL and adds api keys etc.

when i call 127.0.ß.1:57578, i get a no website reachable

[quickmic 1516]

Do you query that URL from the same device Kodi is running? Otherwise it cannot work.

If you use Windows desktop/laptop, install Kodi there with emby plugin.

 

 

[quickmic 1516]

Also try this version:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/archive/refs/tags/5.2.03.0.zip

use addon mode

no of course not.

kodi runs on my shield, emby on my server.

But it must be possible to open it from outside or from my windows pc or server, that's the point. that's why there is the Json RPC to access information from other devices

[quickmic 1516]

ok, then use the pattern of my (native) link, adapt it and try. Probably you need your API-Key/token, and NO it cannot help you with that. It's unique. Probably grab it from the Emby server UI when you play a video.

btw, I'm afk now,

based in Europe, and must work tomorrow
