  1. The way that they implemented the https is a bit strange. They require that the security certificate be passed to the hue prior to submitting the api web request. Getting the Hue lights to work in PreShow is already difficult for most people. Even if I provide instructions for how to do it, I think it would end creating more confusion and get me into more tech support than I can handle for it. My current solution should be considered temporary, but that may not change how to proceed. The issue is that the https link gives a security error, which is what PreShow will see instead of connecting to the bridge. The current fix is to ignore that error, so that the https works like a standard http link and passes calls to the bridge. Ultimately, people will probably have to change the http to https in their action files. At some point I'll go in and see if I can add code into PreShow to handle passing the security certificate to make it easier for people. I'm not sure if that will require additional changes to your action files or not at this point.
  2. I'm going to release a new version of PreShow, hopefully this weekend, with a solution that should take care of this issue. I have attached the updated python file that control actions with the potential fix. The file goes in your kodi addon directory in the following folder: script.preshowexperience > lib > preshowexperience Below is a guide to where the kodi folder is. The addon folders is located inside of this, so add addons/script.preshowexperience/lib/preshowexperience to find the location where the action file goes. Android Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi Flatpak ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data iOS /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi LibreELEC /storage/.kodi Linux ~/.kodi Linux (Flatpak) ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi macOS /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/Kodi Nvidia Shield (SMB) smb://<nvidiashieldurl>/internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi OSMC /home/osmc/.kodi tvOS /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi WebOS /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/.kodi Windows C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi Windows Portable <Install location chosen by you>\portable_data Windows Xbox %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ If you don't know hot to copy the file to this location, please wait for the updated version of PreShow that will include the change. actions.py
