I'm working on a web front-end for Kodi (I'm running 14.1), focusing primarily on audio, and in particular fast, accurate searching of the audio library via Lucene.
I've run into what appear to be some intermittent bugs where my playlist gets cleared at the Kodi side, preventing Kodi from automatically advancing to the next track. This has led me toward keeping playlist and player state in my app.
I alreay feel like I'm reinventing the wheel a lot, so I'd like to do that as little as possible. This makes me wonder: what have other devs using the JSON-RPC API done to manage playlists? What strategies have you employed?
PS: The JSON-RPC API itself is pretty smooth. Thanks Kodi devs.
