As mentioned in this, now closed thread, I am able to get a youtube video to play

but when I try to modify the command as below to play a folder it doesnt work. I get the error

curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item": { "directory" : "/storage/.kodi/music/Pop"}}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.1.52:8080/jsonrpc

{"error":curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item": { "directory" : "/storage/.kodi/music/Pop"}}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.1.52:8080/jsonrpc" : "/storage/.kodi/music/Pop"}}, "id": 1}' http://192.168
{"error":{"code":-32602,"message":"Invalid params."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}i

Enable Kodi debug log and post it.

I tried same command and it plays audio/video from specified folder.

My path to the music dir was wrong. its /storage/music/Pop not /storage/.kodi/music/Pop

Works a charm. Thanks a bunch @vpeter

One last thing, any idea how to apply a condition like “Repeat Folder” or “Random” etc to this?

Try

curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": {"item": { "directory": "/storage/music/Pop"}, "options": {"repeat": "all", "shuffled": True}}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.1.52:8080/jsonrpc

The command doesnt work with the shuffle part. removing that part makes it work in repeat.
