Hi guys,
TL;DR Chrodi, a Chrome App wrapper for Kodi web UI
I own a Chromebook which I use to remote control my Kodi. The web UI is the first thing I started to use, I really love Chorus. Then I installed Kassi - Kodi/XBMC Remote Control and Play to Kodi. Those utility tools are very good but I wanted something that behaves like an app, like my iPhone remote control.
Chrome Apps are like native apps on ChromeOS, Ubuntu... Windows... Mac, I guess. So (I thought) this is what I want, a native remote control that will run on my Chromebook and on my Ubuntu laptop. But then I estimated the work needed so I gave up, it was going to be a really long project.
[Insert idea sound here]
What if I wrap Chorus, the web UI, in a Chrome App? Chrodi happens, a native client that will show you the web ui you enabled.
It is the first version and it need some work, but if someone like to give it a try, I'm eager to have some feedback.
