Adding Dynamic overlay - Alanfor - 2016-03-20
Hi,
Can someone please advise the best method to achieve the following.
I use Kodi on my RPi in my gym to watch TV and other streaming. I have connected the rowing machine to my RPi and calculate Stroke and RPM. I would like to display this info as an overlay on top of Kodi so that I can see it at all times when the rowing machine is on.
What is the best method to display data, do I add fields to all screens in a skin or is there a place I can add a field to a skin that will be visible all the time? How do I integrate the skin variables to a seperate program, via ipcs or another method? Needs to be refreshed at 2hz.
Any help appreciated.
