Kodi Add-on via Internet

**toasted** · 10-18-2016, 07:39 PM

Hi Mezzmo-Team!

Is it possible to let the Kodi Add-on connect to the mezzmo-server via internet, like the Android app?

I also tested the Add-on with the bubble tether-client, but the add-on doesn´t recognize it :-(

Best regards from Austria,
Daniel

Hi,
it would be possible, we would need to modify the Kodi addon so that it tries the remote ip address and port if the local ip and port is not working. The Mezzmo description document contains a tag <externalLocation>http://x.x.x.x:8080</externalLocation> and this contains the external ip address and port for access via the Internet. The source code of the Kodi addon is available online so you could edit the addon if you are familiar with python https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKo.../lib/mezzmo.py. Otherwise we will add it to our todo list.

Thanks Peter, I'll try to modify the add on! ☺

I was browsing the forums and noticed this particular request. Was this ever implemented? Im sorry to say i am not as savvy as others with python modifications. I can somewhat understand what is being attempted to be changed, however when looking at files all i found was the url = server.location spot.

Hi,
this has not been implemented yet, if you change server.location to server.externalLocation you should be able to access the Mezzmo server from the public IP address over the Internet.
