Problems configuring a IR remote

[acstom87]

I am watching the kodi.log in real time on ssh (when I change this setting in Kodi), but I dont see anything relevant.
I only see the remote control codes.

The curl command does not return any errors.

CoreELEC:~ # curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting": "videoplayer.adjustrefreshrate", "value": 0}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.X.XX:8080/jsonrpc

You use -s with curl to make it silent: obviously there will be no output?
In kodi log you see no curl request: which means no request from curl come to kodi. Do you have enabled in kodi to control it over http? Seems not?

Sorry, I am not an expert. I am just trying

CoreELEC:~ # curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting": "videoplayer.adjustrefreshrate", "value": 0}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.X.XX:8080/jsonrpc

Yes. HTTP control IS ON.
I can control with yatse app from mobile

Well, kodi doesn’t get request. So fix this issue first.

Add argument -v to curl.

CoreELEC:~ # curl -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting": "videoplayer.adjustrefreshrate", "value": 0}, "id": 1}' http://192.168.X.XX:8080/jsonrpc
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
