For your usage, pretty much every call needs a "&sid=481e61328cc54915aa67639973969460" type parameter on the url. If it's not on the url, the application falls back to checking the user's session for the sid, which is how the web app appears to make these api calls without explicitly passing it.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Easy enough to add. I was looking at the plugin code and it never adds the sid to any of it's calls that I could see either so I was really confused. I thought that maybe the DoRequest() call added it to the headers or some such.
Next question: some of the calls have a 'random' parameter with a floating point value. Is it truly just a random number and what is it's function? JLM

The DoRequest logic in kodi and in knewc does append the sid and prepend http://ip:port so the calls can focus on the API. If you are planning on using JSON, I would recommend you also have a similar common function so you can also pass the accept:application/json header in the request.

Do I have to pass inline smiley faces too? Can't find that on stackoverflow.... LOL JLM
