[Feature Request] Enable Kore to start Kodi on Android TV

[tlindener]

Feature suggestion

Detailed Description Enable Kore to control not only Kodi but also the platform Kodi is running on. E.g. but using an integration mechanism for different platforms

Context

I just recently switched to an Android TV Box. Now I'm wondering wouldn't it be great to enable Kore to start Kodi on an AndroidTV. To not make it simply Android TV specific, adding an integration mechanism where it would be possible to add Device integrations with e.g. registered events. So when I open up Kore I could set it up to automatically start Kodi on Android TV It would make the experience of Kodi on Android TV a lot more cohesive and depending on implementation could also make Kore a great remote control for Android TV (given the original one lacks lots of features...)

Possible Implementation

Option 1 Simply add an option to pair Kore with Android TV and allow control with the nav buttons

Option 2 Implement generic device integration where one can implement different event handlers to start platform specific actions. E.g.: start app on Linux (with respective service installed), start app on Atv,...

The way to do this on Android is install a 2nd service that does the jsonrpc listening only and forwards it to Kodi. That would be low memory and can be running in the background all the time and could start Kodi or bring it to the foreground.
