I am currently building a media website using node js.
I would like to be able to control Kodi, which is installed of the server computer, remotely from the website browser.
How would I go about doing this? My first idea was

  • to simply see if I could somehow pipe the entire Kodi GUI into the browser such that the full program stays on the server

  • and just the GUI is piped to the browser, sending commands back to the server;

however, I could find little documentation on how to do that.

Second, I thought of making a script (eg Python) that would be able to control Kodi and just interface node js with the Python script, but again,

I could find little documentation on that.


Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You!

  • You could either just integrate with kodi's jsonRPC interface or build your own webinterface, but that would need to run on your kodi instance https://github.com/xbmc/chorus2 – Razze May 27 '19 at 20:44

Can't you just go to settings -> services -> control and then the 'remote control via http' settings? I use this to login to my local ip e.g. 192.168.1.150:8080 (you can set the port on this page) from my browser and I can do anything from there
