Hi there.

I did a small automation project for our home cinema. Its a combination of RF and LIRC scripts. It can control the power sockets, the beamer and the screen. 

System is Kodi 17.5, RPi2, OSMC, Skin: Aeon Nox

I'd like to create an addon which is basically just a submenu of the shutdownmenu.

I've successfully written a context-menu addon, which turns up everywhere video/music/....
addon.xml: https://pastebin.com/CSPc9J8L

I know that this can be done via a Skin and or adding those shortcuts manually. I would rather have the addon be skin independent. Except for the case that I decide not to show the Power Menu at all.  
I have taken a look at the script.skin.helper.* and script.skinshortcuts addons but I seem to miss something. 


Can I hook into the shutdownmenu Window? And if so, how?
 
I'd be very happy if someone could point me into the right direction. Thank you very much
udo.

nope, you can't.

Thanks. Darn! 

I believed so. Anyways, I thought about some possible solution.

The basic idea is to mess around with the active skin's DialogButtonMenu.xml
I'd then add a "update skin menu" button to the addon's settings.

Its a hack, but works for me.

Is it somehow possible for an addon to receive a notification when kodi settings - like the skin - changes? 

Cheers,
udo.
