Kodi Notification Enhancement

[Eddie39]

Hi,
Just switched over from SickRage due to Sonarr being able to prioritize (and wait X amount of time before going to) Torrents vs Usenet.

My request is, when Sonarr sends the notification of grab/download/rename to Kodi, it uses its own thumbnail in the Kodi notification.

Given that Sonarr already knows the poster for the season (and as a fallback, the show), can it show the Show’s season (and if not available Series) poster instead?

I coded this in Python for sickbeard/SickRage and it a nice bit of detail. Hoping it can be implemented in Sonarr.

Thanks!

The problem is Sonarr tells Kodi to load the image via a URL, which needs to be accessible from where ever Kodi is running, Sonarr doesn’t know where its running from/which address its accessible from unless its told, which puts extra burden on the user and is another source of support when people can’t get it working correctly.

This should be possible to do in Sonarr via a custom script though.

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Good point with respect to using the Sonarr pics.

Would it be possible to use the Art that Kodi houses then? This (see below) is actually how I coded it in Python (please excuse the horrible code, as Python isn’t in my top 5 languages used. It was a quick hack to get the desired result).

In short, the below Python code will:

1. Find the show in Kodi
2. Find the current season’s Art (if not found, get the show’s “overall” Art (as known by Kodi)
3. Pop a notification with the URL we retrieved/built from Kodi’s responses

        #Get the show
        showDetailsRequest='{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetTVShows", "params": {"properties": ["title","thumbnail"], "sort": {"order": "descending", "method": "lastplayed"}, "filter":{"field":"title","operator":"startswith","value":"'+showName+'"}} , "id": 1}'
        showDetailsRequest_enc=urlStr+urllib.quote(showDetailsRequest)

        try:
            fileHandle = urllib2.urlopen(showDetailsRequest_enc)
            showDetails_response = fileHandle.read()
            fileHandle.close()
        except IOError:

        showDetails_response='['+showDetails_response+']'
        showDetails_response = unicode(showDetails_response, 'utf-8', errors='ignore')
        json_response=simplejson.loads(showDetails_response)
