Control Kodi with These Siri Shortcuts
#1
I've recently made a few Siri Shortcuts in order to have voice control over Siri. These shortcuts leverage texturecache.py utility and SSH. I placed texturecache.py in my PATH to make things easier. You'll also have to enter your own ssh details.

Here's what I have so far:

pause

resume

stop

set volume (as number)

mute

unmute

scan video library

And my favorite:
play movie title

Theres also this shortcut that allows you to create a "folder" for shortcuts so you can have easy access to them in widgets, for example.

You need to install texturecacheutility on your pi. You can find it here on the Addon forums and instructions on setting it up. For ease of use place the .py file in your PATH. Or, you can edit the shortcut to call the full path. You also need to have SSH enabled on your pi. You'll have to edit the shortcut to reflect your SSH credentials. Thats pretty much it.
