Other Plugins / Re: How to control Kodi on a Qnap nas?

« on: September 15, 2016, 05:42:36 PM »

Of note: I had to remove the .vc from the file "repository.vc.zip" before the Kodi version on the Qnap file system would recognize it. It took an hour to figure it out. It worked on my Windows 10 machine without changing it??

I would still like to be able to remote login to the Qnap nas and launch Kodi. Qnap reccommends not letting apps run because it is bad for the harddrives.

Got it!!! Had to change port # to 8189! I now have control! Thanks!!!!! Now to get a mic that I can run 85ft from Theater to office! Also I was thinking of getting a motion detector to trigger a pause in play when motion is detected so that new commands can be given.

Just went to nas via Qnap software Qfinder. Here are some of the HTML addresses.

http://192.168.1.10:8080/cgi-bin/login.html?1473960352   "brings up login screen"

http://192.168.1.10:8080/cgi-bin/main.html?4.2.2.20160901.18014822  "brings up main system screen(t Kodi not listed)"

http://192.168.1.10:8080/photostation/  "info says this will bring up Photo Station directly"

Kodi listed as app under HybridDesk Station

If I enter either of the following:
http://192.168.1.10:8080/HybridDesk Station/
http://192.168.1.10:8080/HD Station/
http://192.168.1.10:8080/HD Station/Kodi/

I get this:
 http://192.168.1.10:8080/HD%20Station/ "did not like spaces??"

http://192.168.1.10:8080/Kodi.exe/ "also tried this, failed"

Along with an error message from nas
 "Page not found or the web server is currently unavailable. Please contact the website administrator for help."

http://192.168.1.10:8080/photostation/  "this directly brings up the photo station"

The problem was that I was using the wrong output on the iTach and the code I got from a web search was wrong. I have a GC IR learner that I used to capture the correct code and sent it to the correct port/output on the iTach. I was reading the port/output numbers wrong on the unit itself. I initially was plugged into output 3 instead of 1.

I viewed the tutorials before I began to ask for help. I also researched Qnap info on the web as well. I am a retired Product Engineer. I designed hardware and modified code as needed. I don't write code, but I can read several languages and able to modify as I need. I did use the "HTTP Test connection" button and that is where it fails. I setup the network to "ON" in Kodi on the nas as shown in the tutorial! I have the port set the same! I used the TCP plugin "Client connect" to verify that the nas will respond to VC. It responds listening! I started the Kodi on the nas to check it as well. It's bound to be a small miss somewhere!

I used the TCP plugin to verify that I could talk to the Qnap nas, then switched to the xmbc plugin. I enabled the Kodi on the nas and set the xbmc plugin Ip address and port, but the commands don't go. I get a fail when "testing communication" in the xmbc plugin before I even start to try commands. I can use an app on my iPad "Qremote" to control the Qnap nas. It searches for, finds and connects to the nas and allows full control. I am unable to see the settings in this app!
I have IP control of my JVC projector, Denon receiver, Gefen matrix switcher, Vera 3 for lights and IR control of the DirectTV receiver via an iTach IP2IR unit. I only need to get the nas under control. I have Irule on my iPad to control everything now except the nas, which requires the Qremore app. I am trying to get all under one app/software.
I have created a scene in Vox that will set the lighting, turn on the JVC projector, Denon receiver, switch the Gefen input and wake up the DirectTV receiver. I am now trying to set it to the nas because I have over 900 movies on it. It has Kodi installed. As I said I can control this with my iPad, it just takes several apps.

I am trying to control Kodi on my nas from main computer running Vox. It will listen to TCP client commands, but I don't know how to get it to accept Kodi commands. I changed the port and IP address in the plugin, but know exactly how to get the commands over. I get a error trying to get the plugin to communicate with the nas.

"Open air" and "whole home" microphones / Re: Use of Kenitic V2 xbox1 and windows adapter

« on: September 08, 2016, 09:14:46 PM »

Unfortunately, I already ordered the unit and it shipped today. I will try to send it back. I have a iRule/OnControl liscense. I have a theater room with JVC projector, new 4K Denon receiver, Qnap nas with 900+ movies, a Gefen 4K 8 by 8 HDMI switcher, 16 camera security system, 4K bluray player and a DirectTV receiver. I can route to TVs in all bedrooms and family room. I use an iPad to control iRule app. I also have Vera 3 for home automation. Looking to up grade to voice control for all.
