Introduction

Retrospect (Previously XBMC Online TV) is a Kodi video add-on which allows you to watch streams of a number of free and publicly available online TV stream sites.

It originally started the streams from www.uitzendinggemist.nl which is a Dutch site. The add-on got its initial name from this site: ‘Uitzending gemist’ means ‘missed broadcast’ in Dutch.

Discussion about the add-on can be done in this thread at the Kodi forums or in this thread at Tweakers.net (Dutch only). Issues regarding this script can be submitted at our issue tracker at GitHub.

Installing Retrospect

Starting from Kodi Leia (v18), you can easily install Retrospect from the official Kodi add-on repository. Simply use the search function in the add-ons section to find Retrospect and install it. More detailed information can be found in the Retrospect Wiki.

Note: Make sure the Auto-Update option for Retrospect is enabled to automagically receive new updates.

Kodi Krypton

We have a -1/+1 Kodi release policy: we support the previous, the current and the future release of Kodi. So with the release of Kodi Matrix, the support for Kodi Krypton has been removed.

Automation of Retrospect

Listing of folders or playing of media can be automated for Retrospect. In order for this to work, you will need to create shortcuts for the folders and/or videos you want to automate. This can be done as follows:

Listing a folder can be done by caling the Kodi API Addons.ExecuteAddon with the given shortcut url. Media can be played using the Player.Open API.

If you were to use the Kodi JSON-RPC API (documented here) the following are your options:

  1. You could start the playback of a media file with Player.Open:
curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" http://<kodi-ip>:<kodi-port>/jsonrpc -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item": {"file": "plugin://plugin.video.retrospect/?action=openshortcut&shortcut=<shortcut-name>"}}, "id": 1}'
  1. Or open a shortcut to a folder with Addons.ExecuteAddon: 
    curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" http://<kodi-ip>:<kodi-port>/jsonrpc -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon", "params": {"addonid": "plugin.video.retrospect","params": {"action": "openshortcut","shortcut": "<shortcut-name>" }}, "id": 1}'**

Replace <shortcut-name>, <kodi-ip> and <kodi-port> with the correct values.
