This is an attempt to create a skill for the new MycroftAI which can search for, play and control Kodi instances via Kodi's JSON-RPC API.
This uses kodipydent to interface with the Kodi JSON-RPC interface.
You will need to install kodipydent:
pip install kodipydent
inside the correct virtualenv for mycroft, and then clone this repo into ~/.mycroft/third_party_skills.
Currently this skill can do the following things (with some variation):
Mycroft, play film The Matrix
Mycroft, search for films containing Matrix
If it tries to play a film and there is multiple matches it will read out the search results you asked for and then let you refine your query.
