Control Kodi via broadcasts possible on android? - Jawomo - 2021-02-21
Hi there,
Kodi is running on android here and im trying to send commands to Kodi from the same device.
I have an app with a background service and want to send commands to Kodi from that service.
It this possible with broadcasts or similar methods? What would be the best method to do this?
Im especially interested in directly opening movie categories or search for a specific movie.
Didnt find anything in the documentation unfortunately.
Sorry if this has been asked already.
Best Regards

Or is JSON-RPC the only way to control Kodi?

Usually JSON-RPC is the way to go
