# Kodi Binding

[Kodi](https://kodi.tv) (formerly known as XBMC) is a free and open source (GPL) software media center for playing videos, music, pictures, games, and more.
Kodi runs on Linux, OS X, BSD, Windows, iOS, and Android.
It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.

The Kodi Binding integrates Kodi media center support with openHAB, allowing both controlling the player as well as retrieving player status data like the currently played movie title.

The Kodi binding is the successor to the openHAB 1.x xbmc binding.

## Preparation

In order to allow Kodi to be controlled through this binding, you need to enable the Kodi application remote control feature.
Please enable "Allow remote control from applications on this/other systems" in the Kodi settings menu under:

- Settings ➔ Services ➔ Control ➔
  - Allow remote control from applications on **this** systems
  - Allow remote control from applications on **other** systems

To make use of the auto-discovery feature, you additionally need to enable "Allow control of Kodi via UPnP" in the Kodi settings menu.

- Settings ➔ Services ➔ UPnP / DLNA ➔ Allow remote control via UPnP

## Supported Things

This binding provides only one thing type: The Kodi media center.
Create one Kodi thing per Kodi instance available in your home automation system.

All Kodi devices are registered as an audio sink in openHAB.

## Discovery

The binding supports auto-discovery for available and prepared (see above) instances of the Kodi media center on your local network.
Auto-discovery is enabled by default.
To disable it, you can add the following line to `<openHAB-conf>/services/runtime.cfg`:

```text
discovery.kodi:background=false
```

## Binding Configuration

The following configuration options are available for the Kodi binding:

| Parameter     | Name         | Description                                                                | Required |
|---------------|--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|
| `callbackUrl` | Callback URL | URL to use for playing notification sounds, e.g. `http://192.168.0.2:8080` | no       |

### Thing Configuration

The Kodi thing requires the IP address of the device hosting your Kodi media center instance, the TCP port to access it (default: `9090`) and the HTTP port to build URLs to the Kodi webinterface for downloading thumbnail and fanart images (default: `8080`).
You optionally can define a `httpUser` and a `httpPassword` parameter if the access to your Kodi webinterface is protected.
The IP address will be found by the auto-discovery feature.
You can use the `notificationVolume` property for setting a default volume (in %) as well as a `notificationTimeout` (in s) to be used to play notifications.

A manual setup through a `things/kodi.things` file could look like this:

```java
Thing kodi:kodi:myKodi "Kodi" @ "Living Room" [ipAddress="192.168.1.100", port=9090, httpPort=8080]
```

## Channels

The Kodi thing supports the following channels:

| Channel Type ID       | Item Type            | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

Kodi things are extensible by channels of type `shownotification`, so that different notification pop-ups can be configured for different use cases.

### Channel Configuration

**group** The PVR channels can be put into user-defined PVR channel groups.
There are two default PVR channel groups.
One for PVR TV channels and one for PVR radio channels.
The default labels are "All channels" (in German systems "Alle Kanäle").
You have to adjust this configuration to use the `pvr-open-tv` and `pvr-open-radio` channels properly.
You can optionally configure an user-defined PVR channel group.
The PVR channels from Kodi will be populated during runtime into the state options of the `pvr-open-tv` and `pvr-open-radio` channels.

**shownotification** The `shownotification` channel type has three configuration parameters through which it can be customized:

| Parameter   | Type    | Default | Description                                                            |
|-------------|---------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| title       | Text    | openHAB | Title of the  notification                                             |
| displayTime | Integer | 5000    | Time the notification is shown (in ms)                                 |
| icon        | Text    |         | Icon to use (e.g. "alarm"). One of the openHAB icons (as listed [here](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/iconsets/classic/)). |

## Audio Support

All Kodi instances are registered as an audio sink in the framework.
Audio streams are sent to the `playnotification` channel and will change the volume of the audio sink using the `notificationVolume` defined in the properties for the thing, not the `volume`.

URL audio streams (e.g. an Internet radio stream) are an exception and do not get sent to the `playnotification` channel.
Instead, these will be sent to the `playuri` channel.

## Full Example

A manual setup through a `things/kodi.things` file could look like this:

```java
Thing kodi:kodi:myKodi "Kodi" @ "Living Room" [ipAddress="192.168.1.100", port=9090] {
    Channels:
        Type pvr-open-tv : pvr-open-tv [
            group="All channels"
        ]
        Type shownotification : error-notification [
            title="openHAB - Error",
            icon="error"
        ]
        Type shownotification : weather-notification [
            title="openHAB - Weather",
            icon="sun_clouds"
        ]
}
```
