Kodi Kontrol (Stupid name I know)

Description

I wanted to be able to control Kodi, CouchPotato, and SickRage from my Amazon Alexa. I do not want to go through the certification program, nor would this project be accepted, so I created this repo for anyone else to use. You run this https:// server, and add a few amazon skills, and you should be good to go.

Quick technical notes

• You must run this as root since it runs on port 443

• This uses kodi's HTTP interface, couchpotato-api for couchpotato, and SickRage/SickBeards HTTP API

• You need to edit config.js for this to be useful!

Instructions

KodiKontrol Side

1. Edit config.js with your appropriate info

2. run ./bin/www as root on a server publicly accessible from port 443, and able to connect to your sickrage/couchpotato/kodi servers.
