Kodi component has no Media Position

Configuration
1

Hello,

Why does the Kodi component has no media_position, when that of the Chromecast has?

Is it something that can be added? As I have come across other Kodi integrations and they have. Or is it possible I am missing something?

Regards

Whoever built the component didn’t add it in to Kodi.

Yes, you can add it but you need to know python code and make a custom component.

This isn’t possible unless the other person made a custom component because the built in kodi component does not have that property.

I’d like this feature too as the final bit missing from my home theatre lighting automations is for the lights to slowly brighten a few minutes from the end of a movie.

I ‘sorta’ looked into it, I don’t think it has the functionality because the underlying api that the component uses doesn’t look like it has it.

Thanks guys for the contribution.

I tried this addon, and it works fine and gave even the media position and lost more than the component gave. That’s when I began to wonder why HA didn’t have it.

The issue is it’s combersome to use it, and the component at the same time. Anyway I hope someone with a lot of experience can help.

Regards
