Ive developed a Kodi interface using the Json rpc api via a tcp connection...
This is fine and well, using json rpc i can interact with the built in Kodi UI, or access the built in libraries for music/video, and do various other things such as execute installed addons....
This which leads me to my question, what i would really like to do is replace the Kodi UI, passing menu interaction of not only the built in libraries of music and video, but for any running addon, on to my system...
I understand with an addon you can manipulate the built in UI, but what i really what to do is replace it; rather than interacting with the Kodi UI lists during addon execution, pass those objects, or at least their menu lists on. There certainly is nothing in the json rpc api to do such a thing.
So I'm asking how this might be done...
I know nothing about addons or python, but does this sound like a job for an addon?
Is it even possible to monitor/scrape the kodi UI and pass this information on?
