Updating Kodi HTTP 401 error

I added a password to Kodi's remote control via HTTP
I'm calling --def xbmc=localhost:80 and now get a 401 error, naturally
How do I pass the username and password to Kodi? I see that Plex has a token system, but can't seem to find anything on the forum about Kodi

401 means access denied. You can pass username and password same as with URLs.
e.g.
Code: Select all
--def kodi=username:password@server:port

Thanks, but I'm still getting the 401 error, even with the correct username, password, port, and host
AMC log says
Code: Select all
Notify Kodi: [host:kodi:Kodipassword@localhost, port:80]
GET: http://kodi:Kodipassword@localhost:80/jsonrpc?request=%7B%22jsonrpc%22%3A%222.0%22%2C%22method%22%3A%22GUI.ShowNotification%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22title%22%3A%22FileBot+finished+processing+1+files%22%2C%22message%22%3A%22Newshow.mkv%22%2C%22image%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapp.filebot.net%2Ficon.png%22%7D%2C%22id%22%3A1%7D

However, if I copy and paste the URL from the AMC log into Chrome's simple REST Client, it works.

What happens if you load the URL with curl?

If I run CURL from another machine, I get an OK message, but running CURL locally on my kodi box (win10) I get the 401 error!
I tried with localhost, IP address and 127.0.0.1, all give 401 error.
On my other Win10 laptop, using the IP address, it works with: {"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

Sounds more like a local network, firewall or Kodi issue.
If curl doesn't work, then it's unsurprising that the amc script doesn't either.

Hello,
On my Synology NAS, I get the HTTP 401 too.
Using curl (from the NAS, same user transmission), it's all ok.
The end of amc log:
Notify Kodi: [host:xxx:
[email protected], port:8080]
GET:
http://xxx:[email protected]:8080/jsonrp ... %22%3A1%7D
IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL:
http://xxx:[email protected]:8080/jsonrp ... %22%3A1%7D
Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ
This is the curl call:
transmission@NAS:~$ curl
http://xxx:[email protected]:8080/jsonrp ... %22%3A1%7D
{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}
This is so weird.
I am pretty sure it's not amc-related but still could use some tips.

PS. now I added the VideoLibrary.Sync and the GUI.Notification calls to the end of my transmission-postprocess script (with curl), and it is working. So I ended up having the same effect. But still it puzzles me why the amc script fails.

No idea. Should be exactly the same. The only thing that comes to mind is that FileBot will probably be using your system proxy by default, while curl will not by default.
