I am trying to build a simple python script to control kodi from my linux machine. I can get the basic method calls to work and get the gist of how things are but when it comes to 'listening' for notifications such as Application.OnVolumeChanged, Player.OnPlay, etc., I have no idea where to start from, how to subscribe to these notifications.
The best knowledge I have is that notifications can be subscribed using websockets or TCP and the following piece of code I could piece together,
import asyncio
import websockets
from jsonrpcclient.websockets_client import WebSocketsClient
async def main():
async with websockets.connect('ws://192.168.1.104:9000') as ws:
response = await WebSocketsClient(ws).request('Application.OnVolumeChanged')
print(response)
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
One immediate thing I can notice with above code is authorization details aren't being sent to kodi. Apart from that, I have no clue where to go from here (and if this is indeed the right direction).
Any help will be appreciated!
