Starting and Stopping Radio by script

Holgi · January 17, 2017 at 2:48 PM

Hi everybody,

I thought about creating a script that I can connect with Raspberry's GPIO to start and stop Radio playback with a button.
Problem is I have no idea if and how it is possible to control LE and Add Ons via script.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

I can tell you how it's done, but not how to do it. Kodi can be configured to map a remote button to execute a script, to control whatever you need on the GPIO side .. see List of built-in functions - Official Kodi Wiki. You can install the Raspberry Pi Tools add-on to gain python tools for GPIO etc.
