[Copy of post form XSqueeze main thread over at the Kodi forums...]

Ok folks here's a little supplementary thing I have started work on.
It's very handy if you have a squeezebox sitting next to your Kodi
machine....

It's called XSqueezeDisplay (& I am offiicially crap at naming
things!).

It's a tool to display Kodi now playing info using the line display of a
SB2/Sb3/Classic Squeezebox. Basically, the idea is that it will be like
LCDProc but using a Squeezebox display. If you're not using Kodi, it
will just fall back to displaying the standard Date and Time stuff.

This alpha version displays only one thing so far - time remaining on
the currently playing video (only) file.

The alpha is here:
https://github.com/bossanova808/reposito...isplay.zip

You need to install that to your Logitech Media Server plugins folder -
check where that is here:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Lo..._locations

To install, download the zip and extract it in that folder such that you
end up with something like:

C:\Program Files
(x86)\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\XSqueezeDisplay\Plugin.pm (..etc!)

Now, RESTART your LMS.

Go to Settings->Plugins and you should now see XSqueezeDisplay -> click
settings on right and fill those in with your Kodi json details (IP
address, port, username and password or leave those last two blank if
you don't use authentication). Note the two template lines at the bottom
are currently not used so just leave them empty!

Apply the settings (bottom right).

RESTART your LMS again. Check the end of the LMS log and you should see
something like:
*** XSqueezeDisplay *** Kodi endpoint is
http://user:password@192.168.16.31:80/jsonrpc (user:password will be
missing if you don't use one).

Now on your kodi machine, play a video. You should see the display
change to something like (if in two line mode):
Playing
12:05PM [-45:12] - and the timer on the right ticking down as each
second passes.
