XBMC Notification - 401 Unauthorized about mqttwarn HOT 16 CLOSED

Good spot - currently not possible. Happy to accept a pull request if you are keen to add it in? I don't have any authentication setup on my XBMC instances so never came across this issue.

from mqttwarn.

Just submitted a pull request for the service part of this, now to figure out changing the details sent from the ini file.

from mqttwarn.

Yep - probably best to change the XBMC target from a simple string (just the IP address) to a list - containing the IP address, and optionally a username and password. See the pushover.py service for an example of this.

from mqttwarn.

I've figured that one out now too and is all part of the pull request... seems to work OK.

from mqttwarn.

Nice one Jon. I assume it still works if there is no username/password supplied in the target? Also, could you update the README for the XBMC section. Much appreciated - thanks for this!

from mqttwarn.

Yes I checked that bit especially, with you saying that you had no auth enabled. Already updated the README too :)
Happy to help!!

from mqttwarn.

Great stuff - thanks very much!

from mqttwarn.

Merged #50

from mqttwarn.

Gents, thanks for this, but:

Looking at the README snippet and at the code, this is bound to fail if no auth token passed in from the target definition:

xbmchost, xbmcusername, xbmcpassword  = item.addrs

(not enough "things" in item.addrs)

@sumnerboy12 Have you actually tested your bedroom_no_auth example? :-)

Solutions: 1. change xbmc.py to try/catch either case, or 2. make dummy auth params mandatory

from mqttwarn.

No, but I did specifically ask if it worked with no auth parameters and was
told it did, before accepting the pull request.

from mqttwarn.

Well, as you've probably guessed by now, it won't:

>>> addrs = [ '111111' ]
>>> xbmchost, xbmcusername, xbmcpassword  = addrs
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Don't worry: I'll fix it.

I am on it now. Leave it with me, my mistake.

Unfortunately your fix still didn't work JP. I have just push a fix which I can confirm does work with no authentication. Apologies for letting this thru the cracks! f4075c1

Please remove functions.py which you've comitted (erroneously?)

from mqttwarn.

Done. I am not having a good day.

Apologies if this didn't work, it was late here and I thought I checked without passing correctly..
