Adding a Python module for use outside of Kodi (with samsungctl)?

  • Hi Guys,

    I want to install samsunctl to control my mu7000 Samsung TV from Libreelec to automate the TV, but it appears that libreelec does not come with the required python modules or a mechanism to install them, so samsungctl will not work.

    Any suggestions on a way to install the python module 'websocket' into libreelec for use outside of Kodi?

    I'm running 8.90.0 (S912.arm).

  • According to the system requirements python 3 is required. LE only ships with python 2. There are possible plans for python 3 in Kodi 19 (LE is currently on Kodi 17 with 18 due shortly). So at the moment, there is not much chance. You could look at a docker image.

    Dependencies

    • Python 3
