The KODI interface is, in my opinion, hands down the BEST HTPC UI there is. I have used it since it was XBMC on Windows XP.
What would be involved in making it (limited) multi-display capable?
Here is my need. I am in the process of setting up a true home theater (projector and all). I have a 10" HD Touch Screen which will be used for movie selection, app settings, etc.. I am currently running KODI, and would like (when I select PLAY) for the video (movie) to go to the projector, while the interface persists on the 10" touch display. It will use Windows native dual monitor set-up, but as (for instance) an extended desktop... I can use it as a copied (duplicate) display, but all the Windows interaction shows up on the projector screen. I only want the VIDEO (be it music, movie, etc) to be displayed on the projector, and the KODI UI to persist on the 10" kiosk.
How difficult of a task would this be? If KODI had this ability, I know that a LOT of home theater buffs that would be using it too!
