Hello
i have started the development to integrate Skype into Kodi
Basically, here is the design :
- Communication between Kodi & Skype is handled via xml files and a windows APP that ensures the link
- A windows app provides xml files with skype information (friends, status, missed calls, new call)
- The windows app catches the skype window and display it in fullscreen ONLY when a call is active, when the call stops, it hides the window
- You can send command to skype simply creating an "action" xml file (available actions are call_friend, accept_call, end_call)
This windows part is currently working and available on GIT : https://github.com/olixelle/SkypeXmlCont.../README.md
Now, i have to develop the Kodi plugin part :
- Create a new script with one single screen that displays profile information, friends list (with avatar) and missed call
- Display a popup when a new call rings to accept or refuse the call
- Send a call clicking on a friend
I never develop on Kodi, so i'm a bit struggled, so if someone is willing to help me, it would be lovely
In the other case, i'll learn Kodi development, it should be affordable
Thanks
