# JSON Tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here you will find perl scripts that can be used to retrieve JSON responses from a Kodi instance.
|
||
|
|
The scripts are primarily used to create the JSON source files needed by the instrumentation tests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting json responses
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently there are two scripts available to get media details from a Kodi instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `getmovies.pl`: retrieves movie details
|
||
|
|
* `getmusic.pl`: retrieves music details
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default the scripts connect to Kodi running on the same machine (`127.0.0.1`) on port `8080`.
|
||
|
|
If you need to contact a Kodi instance on a different port and/or IP-address change the
|
||
|
|
following line in each script:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
my $url = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc";
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Generating test values
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The instrumentation tests require some values such as "total number of songs", "list of artistids", "genre ids", etc. etc.
|
||
|
|
To generate these values from the JSON files, you can run
|
||
|
|
`gentestnumbers.pl`. This script expects the JSON files to be located in the same directory you execute the script.
|
||
|
|
It also assumes the names of the JSON files are the same as generated by `getmovies.pl` and `getmusic.pl`.
