Consider that Kodi will play any file in video file mode and manage library contents. You can't expect a huge swath of videos to be anything but a giant list of available videos... and Kodi does that even if it's not in the library and Kodi will appreciate the Art (wiki) if inserted in the file folder. Nodes can be created even if the source is not designated; with a direct path to the folder and those options allows for more features.
I do appreciate your request, and in some respects in the past we have had patches/add-ons that answered the phone, dimmed the lights, text readers, PDF, Coimic book readers, games, hotels and just about everything but the kitchen sink. I suspect that amalgamating Pseudo TV Live, as 24hour Cinema Channel might be possible, check with applicable forums. In general Kodi does it's job well and fits into most home theatre enthusiast needs, and doesn't attempt to emulate a broadcast studio, video editor or programming operating system some of which you allude to want, and given the open source nature of the software anything might be possible.
Tinker away the future might be bright.
