Kodi TV Background with Google calendar

id4vip · May 26, 2016 at 5:42 PM

Hello,
Please guide me how I am able to customaries my Kodi TV home Background with Google calendar Database or equivalent as background. As my Raspberry pi working 24 hours. So I want it should also work as the auto reminder assistant also. I want instead of default background my kodi shows me table type background and which shows me the google calendar dates and events. Or please guide me anything to achieve this target. Also it should be raspberry pi, hardware resources & internet data friendly.

Thanks

Not really possible.

All I can think of doing is using the rss feed that Google provides for your calender and adding that to the kodi rss ticker.

Having the background download and dynamically update isn't possible really.

Hi id4vip. I am also trying to figure this out, or a workaround. I am interested in the IFTTT setup you have created for yourself. I cannot figure out how to get puhbullet.com to talk to the pushbullet addon so that it connects to Kodi Notifications and back to the google calendar... help?

hello,
it is simple just make account of Learn how IFTTT works - IFTTT and make receipt with Google calendar & pushbullet. as given in this link

If there is a birthday on my calendar today, send me a reminder - IFTTT

so when ever Google calendar trigger it will send information to pushbullet. and Kodi pushbullet addon pop that thing on your kodi screen & kodi pushbullet inbox.
