KODI: support multiple media content types

Feature Requests
1

The KODI JSON API supports multiple active content types. For instance if you play music and a slideshow in parallel the API will report both content types.

Example:

Query:

curl http://kodihost:8080/jsonrpc -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.GetActivePlayers","id":"1"}'

Response:

{
  "id": "1",
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": [
    {
      "playerid": 0,
      "type": "audio"
    },
    {
      "playerid": 2,
      "type": "picture"
    }
  ]
}

Currently the KODI component is hardcoded ( return self._players[0][‘type’] ) to the first playerid.

Please support an array of content types for the “media_content_type” property. Other features like PLAY/PAUSE are also hardcoded to the first playerid. Maybe it is useful to change that too.

Thank you.
