Add Port Number To IP Address about castkodi HOT 4 CLOSED

You can configure Kodi WebSocket port in advancedsettings.xml.

<advancedsettings> / <jsonrpc> / <tcpport>

One possible reason to do this is because it conflicts with squeezebox server port used by it's android app (and also not configurable).

@miopa @rafny The new version 5.1.0 of Cast Kodi (requires Firefox 78) accepts two addresses for the Kodi server:

• only the IP address: 192.168.0.1;
• or the full address (with configurable port): ws://192.168.0.1:9090/jsonrpc.

You can't configure port because Cast Kodi connects via WebSocket to Kodi which is on port 9090 (and this port is not configurable in Kodi). The website interface uses the same port as the HTTP connection to Kodi (which can be configured).

If you enable the Allow remote control from applications on oher systems option in Kodi (Settings / Services / Control), Cast Kodi will normally connect to the correct port.

@miopa Thanks for the information. I will modify the extension to accept a port with IP address. And if the port is not specified: use 9090.
