Hi Kodi devs! I am looking for your input to a project I am thinking about starting.
What I am thinking about trying is using the Chrome Embedded Framework to create a Kodi add-on that is essentially a chrome frame embedded in Kodi that is locked to a domain, say YouTube, that looks like the standard Kodi skin over a web browser. That way you get all the features of the actual website but inside Kodi. Hopefully it would feel more seamless and have an interface everybody already knows. I would work on it in steps, and I know some Python but am an electrical engineer by trade and training. I have never really done more than simple scripting but I think I may be capable. However, there are always unforeseen issues and I don't want to waste my time if this is unrealistic, which is why I'm asking this community for input.
Is this worth it?
Is it even possible?
What issues might I encounter?
Thanks for any input!
