Use GUI.ShowNotification:
curl -fs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"'"<TITLE>"'","message":"'"<MESSAGE>"'","image":"'"info"'","displaytime":'"10000"'},"id":1}' http://<HOST>:8080/jsonrpcRead here for info about params. It works for me.
You could also use kodi-send Functions
So kodi-send --host=<hostname> -a "Notification(<header>,<message>,<display time>)"
Input.SendText is used to set some text in input dialog and not to show notification.
Use GUI.ShowNotification:
Codecurl -fs -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"'"<TITLE>"'","message":"'"<MESSAGE>"'","image":"'"info"'","displaytime":'"10000"'},"id":1}' http://<HOST>:8080/jsonrpcRead here for info about params. It works for me.
I was able to build this script into my shell script but i failed with the image. I could replace <MESSAGE> with my message text. When i do the same with the image path the notification doesn't work. i tried:
"image":"'"/path/to/image.png"'"What is wrong here? In terminal (SSH) there is the error
syntax error: unterminated quoted stringYou have to use the pre-defined keywords for images, provided by LE (like "info"). Custom images do not work.
Just in case that could be helpful to anyone stumbling upon this post.
This code shown below worked in kodi 18.2 and before, and sort of still works with current kodi versions if the message is a single line.
Also, long ago there was an attempt to allow base64 encoded images but it seems that was abandoned and so only the pre-defined keywords or files stored in some path that kodi can access can be used.
TITLE="MyTitle"
MESSAGE="MyMessageLine1\nMyMessageLine2"
IMAGE_PATH="/home/user/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/green.png"
DISPLAY_TIME=10000 # in ms
JSON='{
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"method":"GUI.ShowNotification",
"id":1,
"params":{
"title":"'"$TITLE"'",
"message":"'"$MESSAGE"'",
"image":"'"$IMAGE_PATH"'",
"displaytime":'"$DISPLAY_TIME"'
}
}'
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$JSON" "http://${USER}:${PASS}@${HOST}:${PORT}/jsonrpc"Don't forget to enable the remote control options.
