Where Are You

Plugin module to display a custom dialog box when playing external media.

Description

Where Are You is a plugin for Kodi that accepts a URL from a stream file and then displays a dialog box with the title and message from the stream file URL. Can also trigger Home Assistant script (including passing a URL to HA to directly launch a streaming app on an AppleTV or Andriod device) or Harmony Remote actions. After the dialog is dismissed a black video plays for 2 seconds. This is basically to do what the media stub file does (which is display a title and a message for a given file), but for streaming files because the media stub only works if you have an optical drive attached to the device running Kodi.

News

v.0.6.1 - added option to bypass dialog asking if you want to launch the streaming service - if using HA control and an AppleTV, can pass video URL to launch episode/movie directly
