Kodimote (fork)

Thu, 04/19/2018 - 00:34

I wrote a small companion daemon (in perl) that detects kodimote's attempts to connect with Kodi server and launches Kodi, if it is not running at the moment.

It is useful for people that run Kodi as a regular application instead of a dedicated "kiosk mode" session. You can start kodimote on your phone and enjoy your music without even approaching the computer or turning on the display.

Where should I publish it? It is a perl script intended to run on a desktop Linux either in userspace or as a system daemon. It is a glue between kodimote and kodi and should be somehow linked or announced together with kodimote (or a similar android app?).

Thanks for the tip!

It is easy to switch between the forks, but hard to combine their merits. Your version makes playback control buttons so big that some go outside the screen. If the bigger size is needed for the tablet UI, consider autodetection of screen size or a manual switch, please. The same concerns spaces between playlist lines. Your version has it too big, but jollastore has it too tight to show names of TV shows between the channel names (TV).

There are also two big shortcomings in kodimote:

no cue sheet support to see individual songs
no playback position bar. It is impossible to go to song #7 when you see one huge track containing a full album. Kodi itself works flawlessly with cuesheets.

Buttons and spacing are too big for phone screen (Jolla C) jollastore version looks much nicer. There should be an option, perhaps. Otherwise works well.

You should be able to pin the jollastore version so it won't be overwritten with my version if you have my repo enabled.
First install the version from the jolla store.
Then (as root):

Russian translation doesn't load.

If you look at https://github.com/mzanetti/kodimote/blob/master/i18n/kodimote_ru.ts in the original repo, you can see there is not a single line translated.

I have updated this file. Please, send me updated strings to MY_I0GlN AT mail.ru to make any necessary changes. I would like to test it.

Github forked that repo, so my edited version is here:

It would be easier for me to send it by e-mail, as I do not want to make a true fork of the project.

Strange, I did not touch any language related parts.

I'll look into that later.

Hi there,

I have opened a bug report on Kodi:

but in the meanwhile, if you could hide the name of the remote sftp sources showing passwd in clear, that would be nice !

Cheers,

Chris.

I assume you see your connect credentials on the header of the file browser. You can change line 141 of /usr/share/harbour-kodimote/qml/pages/BrowserPage.qml to title: "" to have no header.

I don't know if it is of much use, as you are probably the only one seeing the credentials using kodimote anyhow.
