Hi every1,
after looking at several solutions, I decided to use Home Assistant to make my house a bit smarter
Currently I’m just playing around with stuff I already have at home to understand Home Assistant better. After that my plan is to buy new stuff and implement it all to fully utilize Home Assistant.
I’m stuck with the Kodi JSON command rights now. Sending commands to Kodi is easy. I used buttons to make a small remote. Like a button to go right in Kodi:
type: button
show_name: true
hold_action:
action: none
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: kodi.call_method
service_data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi_8e49d3c04ae5477b1a69b3d1e3d98fef
method: Input.Right
entity: media_player.kodi_8e49d3c04ae5477b1a69b3d1e3d98fef
name: Right
show_icon: true
Now, I’d like to show the movie/tv-show/music poster of the currently playing file from Kodi.
I think I know it should be possible with Player.GetItem
which would return an object with the infos I need. Problem is: How do I work with the results from there? How could I display the poster in a picture card or a picture entity?(what’s better suited for that?)
Or do I have to go another way that I don’t see yet?
Thanks
