Lucky I just found the file in a folder on my file server.

Regarding the setup for UI7 I cant remember now what we did or if we had to do anything differently, so you will have to read the forum posts for what we did in the past. Fairly sure it was working also on UI7 before Kodi v19 Matrix broke it.
Not used the modified addon for Kodi v19 Matrix and above, that the other user posted above, so can’t comment about that.
I expect the transport control buttons in UI7 wont work as the Kodi Json API also changed and blocked GET http commands as mentioned a few posts above. So unless the user that modified it also modified the Vera plugin also? Then that wont work. But assume the main feature you want to use is the play states of Kodi and controlling your Vera lights in play / pause / stop etc.
Good luck let me know if you get it working.
If I had xbmcstate before, but can’t find the file anymore, and I also switched from Vera Lite to Vera Edge, thank you, I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
Mike sounds like you had to modify the Kodi addon further to what dbldown768 did to get it working?
Care to share your version ?
Reading what Mike said above he had to edit the default.py file and change the referenced Vera Service from XMBCState1 to KODIRemote1.
I have just edited that file and zipped it up again, so you might be better trying to install this ZIP file as an addon in Kodi.

Looks like the HTTP commands for the playback transport control buttons that appear in the Vera web UI are located in the Vera plugin file called “I_KODIRemote.xml”
These would need changing from GET to POST HTTP commands.
However I think a username and password now also needs to be specified to access the Kodi JSON API, so not sure how you would handle that in this Vera plugin code ?
I wrote about sending HTTP commands from Vera scenes / LUA code etc here.
hello and many thanks fo your help
I’ve changed the variables from xbmcstate to kodiremote in default.py , but it’s still the same – no information is being sent from Kodi to Vera. The commands from Vera to Kodi are not useful to me; I just want the play and pause states. Right now, I can see that it’s up or down for Kodi, but I don’t have the play and pause states.
When I directly send the URL in a browser, it does send the messages to the plugin, like 299, and changes the status to pause, stop, etc.
I have a “can’t detect device” message in red on the Vera since the installation, the same with xbmcstate and kodiremote. I’ll uninstall everything to see.
EDIT
Good news, the information is coming through despite the “can’t detect device” message. Not ideal, but it’s getting the job done!
i upload the file with kodiremote

In the Vera UI7 web GUI go into the KodiRemote device and go to Advanced then Variables. Then look for a variable called Comm Failure. Edit that and change its value from a 1 to a 0 and Save.
Thank you, that’s great to hear that it’s working now!
I had a go myself also and got it working with the Player Status.
The icon is missing on the plugin instance however, not sure how to fix that.
Did you install the “KodiRemote” plugin from the App Store ? I did.
Note: - Seems you don’t actually need the akb-json.lua file uploaded to get the Player Status part working. As I forgot to upload the file initially and it was still working without it !
Yes, same here from the app store, and no icon as well.
Another question, as I haven’t really taken care of my Vera Edge for a very long time, and I’ve seen that it’s being abandoned for future updates. Is it better to migrate to Ezlo? There was supposed to be a migration tool from Vera to Ezlo, but is it reliable? Because I mainly use it for Z-Wave and a few old Lua scenarios. What did you do? Did you migrate?
Trying to fix the Transport control button in the Vera UI7 web GUI.
The Kodi HTTP commands are in the plugin file named “I_KODIRemote.xml”
I looked at fixing the “Back” button first.
Original Code:
function send_kodi_back_command ()
durl = "http://" .. ipAddress .. ":8080/jsonrpc?request=%7b%22jsonrpc%22%3a+%222.0%22%2c+%22method%22%3a+%22Input.Back%22%2c+%22id%22%3a+1%7d"
http = require("socket.http")
local body, code, headers, status = http.request(durl)
end
New Code: This DOES NOT WORK
function send_kodi_back_command ()
os.execute('curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" http://" .. ipAddress .. ":8080/jsonrpc -d \'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Input.Back"}\'')
end
This does work OK however if I explicitly hardcode the Kodi PC’s IP address. When pressing the “Back” button the Kodi GUI does go back.
function send_kodi_back_command ()
os.execute('curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" http://192.168.0.7:8080/jsonrpc -d \'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Input.Back"}\'')
end
In the plugin “Params” I did enter in the IP of the Kodi PC.
And also on the “Variables” tab I changed the port number from 80 to 8080
So not sure why its not working when using the " … ipAddress … " and where it’s meant to be getting that IP address from etc.
Looking at the log on the Vera controller I see this:
08 08/24/23 14:00:34.813 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest device: 174 service: urn:upnp-org:serviceId:KODIRemote1 action: KODIBack <0x6c588520>

02 08/24/23 14:00:34.850 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::ConfirmReturnArguments missing KODIBack <0x6c588520>
I tried adding in more quotes " but this didn’t seem to work either, as nothing happens when I press the “Back” button.
os.execute('curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" "http://" .. ipAddress .. ":8080/jsonrpc -d \'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Input.Back"}"\'')
I see the same message in the log file:

I think lines 46 and 47 get the IP address
function init(lul_device)
ipAddress = luup.devices[lul_device].ip
The “function isup” must be working as it does says “down” when the PC is off and “up” when the PC is on.
EDIT:
Maybe that message “JobHandler_LuaUPnP::ConfirmReturnArguments missing KODIBack” in the log is a red herring. as I see the same thing when I put in the actual IP address in the curl command and the back button then works.
But I can’t figure out how to get it working with the " … ipAddress … " instead.
No yet, I am still using my Vera Plus as my main controller. There are some threads on the forum talking about migration options. Have a search for those.
Okay, I’ve read a few things, but I haven’t come across any news about the tool that was supposed to arrive some time ago.
I am not sure what the current state of play is with regards to a migration path, I suggest you ask on one of the other threads.
If I do eventually migrate I will probably just move one Z-Wave device at a time over to my Ezlo controller and do it slowly and manually.
If you want to fix the missing icon you have to do the following:
Connect to your Vera hub using WinSCP or whatever and copy the .png file into this folder:
/www/cmh/skins/default/icons
Now you need to edit the plugin file named “D_KODIRemote.json”
Change the first line from this:
"flashicon":"icons\/iconxbmcstate.png",
to this:
"default_icon": "../../../icons/kodistate.png",
“kodistate.png” is what I called my new icon file etc. I also made it 50x50 in size.
Shame I couldn’t figure out how to fix the buttons or we’d have a fully working plugin again.

@madmax Does the Player Status work for you when playing Music audio also?
In the Kodi addon settings in “Player state” I set all the Audio ones to “Yes”.
However in Vera I don’t see updated player status when I am playing albums / songs from the Kodi Music library.
It does work OK for me when playing Videos however.
Playing a song here:
Works when playing a Movie:
EDIT:
Never mind I fixed it. I broke something whilst customising the addon further.

I’ll try it with music, but it’s for movies that I use Kodi in my home cinema room.
I’m not getting the title to come up; it’s strange, as if I’m missing some variables. However, if I play and pause, it works – the information comes back quickly. But if I press the movie to start it from the beginning, it doesn’t seem to recognize that it’s playing. Not a big issue, as it switches to pause correctly, and then resumes after pause. Still, I find it a bit odd.
I’d have to try / test it again to confirm what you say.
I’ll let you know next time I look at it again.
I didn’t edit any code to do with the Titles. I did edit some other code however to change some label names in both the Kodi addon and Vera plugin. I also slightly changed the variable names that get sent to the Vera plugin for the various play states.
I was hoping to also fix the buttons and then release all my changes in files posted here, but looks like I can’t get the buttons working.
