Probably it is, it depends on the URL that you use to capture information.

Post an URL and so I (we) can look at it and give you a hand in creating your own skin if you have problems.

for example:

Since it is a local link, I (we) can not see what's inside.

You'll need to use this tool and see what it returns.

Is this a Kodi addon: 'MyMovies.dk'?
If so, it requires you to have an account and login to it...
Sadly, the webparser cannot be used to access pages if a login is needed. :(
That is most likely why it will not let you see anything using the webparser.

If it is not 'MyMovies.dk' addon, then check that you have the right web address... :confused:

Its chorus.. one of kodi's web interfaces..

http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Chorus

There are also other web interfaces as well.. even the default one should work same way as well..
since it retrieves data locally from http.. shouldnt it be possible to capture the data?
In my first pic im using my office comp to open kodi content through http from my Media server..

Not having Kodi, it was just a suggestion to check... perhaps a Kodi user will chime in...

In general, if you cannot retrieve data from a URL using the RegExpTool that Freeraider mentioned,
then you are probably not going to be able to parse it. :uhuh:

Have you asked at Kodi? Just trying to cover all angles... :welcome:

Hmm i think i got some clues.. in general Kodi uses JSONRPC to query its library..
so i tried it and i think figured out the syntax, this is the code that should be run in browser

movies :

Code: Select all

http://username:pass@ipserver:port/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetRecentlyAddedMovies", "id": "mybash"}
episodes (Kodi breaks down media type into movies and episodes) :

Code: Select all

http://username:pass@ipserver:port/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetRecentlyAddedEpisodes", "id": "mybash"}
And this is the result from rainregexp for both

Code: Select all

{"id":"mybash","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"limits":{"end":25,"start":0,"total":25},"movies":[{"label":"Tallulah","movieid":10921},{"label":"PTU","movieid":10920},{"label":"Secret Admirer","movieid":10919},{"label":"Imperium","movieid":10918},{"label":"Checkmate","movieid":10917},{"label":"Captain America: Civil War","movieid":10916},{"label":"Andron","movieid":10915},{"label":"Kucch To Hai","movieid":10914},{"label":"Red Road","movieid":10913},{"label":"Kids","movieid":10912},{"label":"Hidden in the Woods","movieid":10911},{"label":"Amateur Night","movieid":10910},{"label":"Sarbjit","movieid":10909},{"label":"The Conjuring 2","movieid":10908},{"label":"Hard Target 2","movieid":10907},{"label":"Edge of Winter","movieid":10906},{"label":"Blood Father","movieid":10905},{"label":"Finding Mr. Right 2","movieid":10904},{"label":"Death Bell","movieid":10903},{"label":"Genius","movieid":10902},{"label":"Sultan","movieid":10901},{"label":"Junooniyat","movieid":10900},{"label":"On Golden Pond","movieid":10899},{"label":"Ghosthunters","movieid":10898},{"label":"Equals","movieid":10897}]}}

Code: Select all

{"id":"mybash","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"episodes":[{"episodeid":52225,"label":"1x08. The Call of the Wild"},{"episodeid":52224,"label":"S01. Special E01-E07"},{"episodeid":52223,"label":"1x03. Episode 3"},{"episodeid":52222,"label":"1x02. Episode 2"},{"episodeid":52221,"label":"1x01. Episode 1"},{"episodeid":52220,"label":"1x04. After the Play Ends"},{"episodeid":52219,"label":"1x03. I am Behind You"},{"episodeid":52218,"label":"1x43. Episode 43"},{"episodeid":52217,"label":"1x42. Episode 42"},{"episodeid":52216,"label":"3x495. Making Of Infinite Company"},{"episodeid":52215,"label":"1x22. Final Episode"},{"episodeid":52214,"label":"1x21. Episode Twenty-one"},{"episodeid":52213,"label":"1x20. Episode Twenty"},{"episodeid":52212,"label":"1x19. Episode Nineteen"},{"episodeid":52211,"label":"1x18. Episode Eighteen"},{"episodeid":52210,"label":"1x17.

Episode Eight"}],"limits":{"end":25,"start":0,"total":25}}}
I wanted to include thumbnails but th Kodi documentation doesnt explain how to include thumbnails..
http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v6#VideoLibrary.GetRecentlyAddedMovies
I'll try asking in Kodi forum about this..

As of JSON + Rainmeter Webparser,
i googled for JSON rainmeter and i found some examples.. but i't's still pretty vague and i'm not sure where to start..
Is there any skins that utilizes JSON? maybe i could use it to figure this out

WebParser doesn't know or care about any particular data format, XML, JSON or anything else. It simply sees what comes back as plain text, and it is up to you to parse the information using regular expression. Any text returned by the site that follows some pattern that you can use with regular expression to extract the data you want should be fine.
