Thanks for this. Looks like an interesting plugin :)


I've managed to get it to compile but not got it to run properly yet. 
I'm missing some dependencies that I'm still trying to fix.


A few initial things I noticed :-


There's at least two binary files that shouldn't be in the git repo 
'MythApps/mythapps/libmythapps.so' and 'MythApps/theme/themenop'.

You will probably want to add a .gitignore file so git will ignore those 
files in the future.


The file 'MythApps/mythapps/theme.pro' is a symlink to a non existent 
file so the compile fails. I've attached the theme.pro file I used to 
get it to compile.


Anyone trying this may need to install libqt5websockets5 and/or 
libqt5websockets5-dev since a standard MythTV install doesn't use either 
of those.


Also requires xdotool and kodi to be installed. That's as far as I got 
tonight there may be other dependencies I've yet to discover.
