For a new project i’m using parts of my Photo Manager.
UPDATE: Random photo push from directory in one script.
I will post the Minimal code for the following:
- Caching thumbnail generation
- Drag and drop image for displaying on a kodi instance
- Button to start slideshow of a directory
- Open image in browser with obfuscated image url (not shown in movie)
- Stop image playing
Json RPC used:
# Playing a single file
curl -H "content-type:application/json" -i -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"file":"'.$dir2.'"}}}' http://KODI-IP:8080/jsonrpc &';
# Playing a directory
curl -H "content-type:application/json" -i -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"directory":"/path/'.$dir.'"}}}' http://KODI-IP:8080/jsonrpc &';
# Stop playing (i'm stopping player 1 and 2) You can query which player is active, this works also
curl -H "content-type:application/json" -i -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Stop", "params": { "playerid": 1 }, "id": 1}' http://10.1.0.73:8080/jsonrpc';

Below the multiple PHP files, i’ve removed a lot of code specific for my manager.
By the way, I love this trick:
header("HTTP/1.1 204 NO CONTENT");
I’ve you put this in the top of your php script which is linked from the first page, you won’t open this link in your browser, but it gets executed nevertheless!
