A tool (written in Python) for browsing the menu of any running Kodi on a network and selecting an item to be played.
Before any operation, at least one host has to be registered:
kodi-menu register myradio 192.168.0.24 8080
The list of known hosts is:
kodi-menu hosts
We assume an host called myradio has been previously registered:
kodi-menu myradio addons
kodi-menu myradio sources
will display a list of available resources.
The last displayed menu (list of items) can be quickly displayed with:
kodi-menu last
kodi-menu ls
without using an HTTP request again (previous menu was stored in a database).
Some information concerning an item may be available with:
kodi-menu details 5
kodi-menu info 5
where the number points to the relevant item from the last displayed menu.
An item may be played with:
kodi-menu myradio 5
If at least one item was played, the following command may also be used:
kodi-menu recent
for displaying a new meny with recently played items.
The most recently played item can be played again with:
kodi-menu myradio again
Finally some basic operations for controlling Kodi are available:
kodi-menu myradio volume
kodi-menu myradio volume 85
kodi-menu myradio stop
kodi-menu myradio mute
