I’ve been an avid user of Kodi for years and have always appreciated its flexibility and how it can be tailored to personal needs through add-ons. But recently, I started thinking about how Kodi could serve more purposes beyond entertainment, particularly when it comes to incorporating tools for daily use.
Here’s the situation: I often use Kodi on devices like my TV or media box, which are always connected and central to my home setup. This got me wondering—why not use Kodi for small, practical tools that can make life easier? One idea that struck me is inspired by a positive experience I had with a Qibla finder tool. It was simple and effective, showing me the direction to face during prayers wherever I was. For those unfamiliar, knowing the direction of the Qibla (معرفة اتجاه القبلة)is essential for Muslims, as it determines the direction to face during prayer, pointing toward the Kaaba in Mecca. This tool provided quick, reliable guidance without needing extra devices or complicated steps. This got me wondering: why couldn’t I have a similar tool seamlessly integrated into Kodi?
Here’s what I’m thinking:
Building on existing add-ons: There are already add-ons in Kodi that use location-based services, such as weather or mapping tools. Could these be enhanced to offer utilities like a Qibla direction finder?
Lightweight integration: The tool wouldn’t need to be a standalone app. Instead, it could function as a feature within an existing add-on, using location data from the device to calculate and display the Qibla direction.
User simplicity: It could include a basic setup for users to input their location manually or use device-based GPS. The interface would remain clean and non-intrusive.
The idea isn’t to complicate Kodi’s core purpose but to explore how its add-on ecosystem might allow for useful, everyday tools to be integrated without disrupting the overall experience.
My question to the community is this: Do you think such a feature could work within Kodi’s ecosystem? Are there specific add-ons you know of that might support or be adapted for a tool like this? Or perhaps you’ve come across other examples of small utilities being added to Kodi successfully.
For me, the idea came from how helpful a Qibla finder tool has been in my daily routine. It demonstrated how technology can simplify tasks that are otherwise time-consuming or require additional devices. Imagine being able to access such practical utilities directly from Kodi—it would add an extra layer of convenience without compromising its primary function as a media platform.
I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts on this concept. Do you see value in incorporating lightweight tools like a Qibla finder into Kodi? If so, how could we approach add-on developers or existing projects to explore this idea further? What challenges might exist in integrating such features?
Looking forward to your suggestions and insights!
