Being new to Kodi and poking around its JSON-RPC interface, I noticed that it exports three different playlist objects (numbered 0 through 2), ostensibly for audio, video and pictures, that can be manipulated through the Playlist interface. What is the story or reason behind this division into three playlists? Is it to make it possible to add items to two different playlist objects and thus play back e.g. a video file and a (different) music file at the same time? (And is that in fact currently possible?) Or is there some other (technical? historical?) reason?
