Reverse proxy - ssl - kodi client

There is no way via the Kodi addon to do that but if Kodi is properly inserting 8866 properly what if you simply use port 443

The reason the port being set, regardless of the number, is that it insert a colon into the url so something like "server/npvr/..." ends up looking like "server/npvr/:443 or 8866". The apache server doesn't know what to do with a url that has a : in it of course. I've tried to force the situation by editing settings.xml and setting it as "443/npvr/" which allows me to enable the addon, but when performing actions, it ignores the "443/npvr" and substitutes just "8866", dropping the "/npvr/" part. Hope I've explained that better. If the addon would allow me to enter not just numbers but also other characters, that would be perfect.

Ok I thought it would be at the end, your first post confused me. Given that I have no way for me to test this or of testing the NextPVR API redirects, I can consider this for Nexus with port 0 if you are willing to do the testing.

I've tried port 0 but it then puts ":0" into the url which of course is no good. Now if it worked that using port 0 took the port completely out of the equation then great! Totally willing to test. My brother is willing to try to compile the source into the necessary .dll, but I'm not sure where in the code I would need to edit to stop inputing the port number and colon into the url.

It certainly won't work now, it will need a code change. If your brother can compile it change this line

https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr/...gs.cpp#L41

to

Code:

strcpy(m_urlBase, m_hostname.c_str());

which will pass through the URL you type;
