maemo.org - Talk - [SailfishOS] [Announce] Kompanion: a bridge between Kodi, Reddit and your mobile device

Enhance your Kodi videos with Reddit comments or play Youtube/Vimeo/LiveLeak/Gfycat URLs straight on your Kodi instance.

Niche application for a niche audience. If you're a Kodi user and sometimes you would like to read comments for videos you are watching, but don't feel like searching the comments on the internet, or you just found a video URL you would like to watch on a bigger screen, this application is just for you.

It's goal isn't replacing Kodimote or Quickddit (in fact, it integrates with both to some extent), but providing a bridge between these two (they do not have to be running for this app to work, but you need to check the application settings so links don't open in Quickddit if it is not running) and more. It can also monitor your clipboard and automatically play detected videos on Kodi.

However, it is just a personal project (and hasn't been tested on Jolla Tablet), so bugs may be present. Feedback is welcome.

Kompanion features:

find Reddit threads for currently playing video
open thread in Quickddit, Web Browser, or integrated web view
open video URL in Kodi
monitor clipboard for video URLs (optional)
show your video history
open Reddit threads automatically (optional)
import connection settings from Kodimote

Also, big thank you to accumulator for implementing dbus support in Quickddit - this application could not work this way without it.
