KodiUpdate Plugin
=================
The ``kodiupdate`` plugin lets you automatically update `Kodi`_'s music
library whenever you change your beets library.
To use ``kodiupdate`` plugin, enable it in your configuration
(see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Then, you'll want to configure the specifics of your Kodi host.
You can do that using a ``kodi:`` section in your ``config.yaml``,
which looks like this::
kodi:
host: localhost
port: 8080
user: kodi
pwd: kodi
To update multiple Kodi instances, specify them as an array::
kodi:
- host: x.x.x.x
port: 8080
user: kodi
pwd: kodi
- host: y.y.y.y
port: 8081
user: kodi2
pwd: kodi2
To use the ``kodiupdate`` plugin, first enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`). Then, install ``beets`` with ``kodiupdate`` extra
.. code-block:: bash
pip install "beets[kodiupdate]"
You'll also need to enable JSON-RPC in Kodi.
In Kodi's interface, navigate to System/Settings/Network/Services and choose "Allow control of Kodi via HTTP."
With that all in place, you'll see beets send the "update" command to your Kodi
host every time you change your beets library.
.. _Kodi: https://kodi.tv/
Configuration
-------------
The available options under the ``kodi:`` section are:
- **host**: The Kodi host name.
Default: ``localhost``
- **port**: The Kodi host port.
Default: 8080
- **user**: The Kodi host user.
Default: ``kodi``
- **pwd**: The Kodi host password.
Default: ``kodi``
