Reverse proxy - ssl - kodi client

[aderlopas]

Your cert still has problems because your are including an expired cert but I guess that gets past the curl error.  (I still see one here though)

By using port http/80 your password will be sent in the clear as you aren't even using SSL

Thanks Martin,

I found some documentation from let's encrypt, and it seems I had to specify the fullchain.pem as the SSL certificate of the server and not the one that includes only the server certificate. 

It should be the correct one now.

I also changed the hostptorocol to https in the correct settings.xml file, and now it allows me to connect to 443 port with SSL and it works fine.

I guess now my setup is correct.

Here is the log:

It does not mention in here anything about SSL and I don't know how else I can check that it is indeed using SSL.

Thanks again for your help.

All the API information would show with debug logging.

Thanks Martin, Now about writing that Wiki, I went in the wiki which is at Github and I am a bit lost.
I would assume that we need a page under Advanced Setup right?
I don't see any option to create a page with my account, what should I do? Write it in word document perhaps and send it over to you and sub for review?

[mvallevand]

If you want to create or update the page(s) in markdown language (.md) and send the package to me I can upload it to the wiki.

Many thanks Martin, 
Please see attached file.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks, I don't have time to read it but I put the raw file on my test wiki to give you an idea what it looks like https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki...ote-Access

Many thanks Martin, 

some lines are messed up, I will need to review it with a .md editor and fine-tune.
Will send you an updated file.

Hi Martin,

Please find and updated file, text should be ok now.

Please note however, that the below step on some devices have a problem:

1. Open settings.xml file for editing.
   
2. Specify the following contents:
   

<setting id=“hostprotocol”>https</setting>

While the host, port and pin settings are exposed in the Kodi Nextpvr addon settings, this setting is not exposed.
The problem is that for some android devices (like for instance Xiaomi Tv Box S 1st and 2nd gen) the Android/data directory explorer does not have access to so the settings.xml file cannot be edited on Android not even overwritten by any other way than adb which is quite cumbersome process and it may require root access.

Can we also expose the  “hostprotocol” setting in the Kodi NextPvr Addon?

Thanks and regards

Thanks, timely since I have a few wiki updates pending. Could you please update this to be generic for Nexus and Omega too? Matrix isn't supported by Kodi anymore. The only difference is settings.xml is now instance-settings-#.xml

Are you sure Profile settings can't be edited on all platforms via the Kodi file manager? Root access is not required since it is running as Kodi. You should be able to go to Settings->File manager->Profile Directory ->addon_data->pvr.nextpvr and select the appropriate xml file copy to source, edit it and copy back. The source can be a share or a USB drive. If that works it might help to document what you mean by "Navigate to" especially on locked platforms like Apple and Android.

You probably need a note on installing self-signed certificates in Kodi too. At least link to https://kodi.wiki/view/SSL_certificates and note that installing these probably do require root.

I will not expose anything https related as I have repeatedly posted. Too much chance for error and extra support work for me.

Hi Martin
Sure will do
I'm on Nexus though and I can't find an option to copy the file from kodi file manager see the attached picture
