this page is very old and not working anymore (#8347)

the app that is described her is written for Appdaemon 2.0 and wont work with the latest version from appdaemon anymore.
it also suspects appdaemon and homeassistant to be installed in the same python environment, which is unadvisable in all cases.

i think its better to delete the page.

This requires a [Kodi](/components/media_player.kodi/) media player, and consists of commands that perform queries in the Kodi library, and a selection box (`input_select`) that shows the available options. By clicking the commands, the selection box is updated, and when selecting an option, Kodi plays the media.
Option filling is done in an [AppDaemon](/docs/ecosystem/appdaemon/tutorial/) app, which listens for events that are triggered with the results of the Kodi JSONRPC API queries when scripts run. This application also listens to the selection box and calls the play media service with the corresponding parameters.
The media player yaml config:
```yaml
media_player:
- platform: kodi
name: Kodi
host: 192.168.0.123
```
The `input_select` with the scripts and a group:
```yaml
input_select:
kodi_results:
name: Kodi API results
options:
- Nothing to do
script:
get_recent_movies:
alias: Last added movies
sequence:
- service: media_player.kodi_call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi
method: VideoLibrary.GetRecentlyAddedMovies
properties:
- title
- year
- file
- lastplayed
get_recent_episodes:
alias: Last TV shows
sequence:
- service: media_player.kodi_call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi
method: VideoLibrary.GetRecentlyAddedEpisodes
properties:
- showtitle
- file
- lastplayed
- firstaired
get_pvr_channels:
alias: TV Channels
sequence:
- service: media_player.kodi_call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi
method: PVR.GetChannels
channelgroupid: 1
group:
Media Select:
control: hidden
entities:
- input_select.kodi_results
- script.get_recent_movies
- script.get_recent_episodes
- script.get_pvr_channels
```
The AppDaemon app:
```python
