Kodi Tutorial: Create Music Addon
Thursday 27th September 2018 10:34pm
This tutorial will describe how to create a music addon for the popular Kodi media center. The addon we will be creating will recieve streams from the radio station Absolute Radio. Absolute Radio is one of the UK’s Independent National Radio stations. The station is based in London and plays popular rock music broadcasting on medium wave and DAB across the UK (105.8 FM in London and 105.2 FM in the West Midlands). It is also available in other parts of the world via satellite, cable, and on the Internet.
Absolute Radio conveniently offers the following links to their audio streams.
This addon will use these links to stream content from the following stations:
- Absolute Radio
- Absolute Radio Classic Rock
- Absolute Radio 60’s
- Absolute Radio 70’s
- Absolute Radio 80’s
- Absolute Radio 90’s
- Absolute Radio 00’s
To add a bit of eye candy this addon will monitor the content of the stream searching for the current artist and display an image in the background when found. We will also allow the option for showing a detailed description of the current artist.
There will be a page for changing the default settings like the type and quality of the stream and the option to disable searching for artist information.
When creating addons for Kodi one of the most useful resources at your disposal is Kodi’s Add-0n Developement page
Let’s Begin 🙂
We need to achieve the following tasks:
- Create Folders
- Language Settings
- Artist Information Module
- Images
- Skins
- Settings
- Icon & Fanart
- Addon Details
- Addon Code
- Activate Addon
Create Folders
We first need to create a subfolder within the .kodi\addons folder. The name of this folder will be plugin.audio.absolute-radio. This is where we will write the code. Next we need to create a subfolder within this folder called resources. This folder will contain the icon and fanart images along with the default settings. Within the resources folder we will need to create four further folders named language, lib, media and skin. These will contain language options, extra code modules used by the addon, icons and fanart for menu options. The skin folder will contain two custom layouts for displaying the artist image and description screens.
Language Settings
We now have only one more folder to create. The folder for the language settings so open the language folder and create a subfolder called resource.language.en_gb. This is where we will store all the text settings used by our addon in the english language along with a unique number. We will refer to this number within the addon whenever we need to use that text so we can translate the text into another language.
Create a file called strings.po and insert the following:
# Kodi Media Center language file
# Addon Name: Absolute Radio
# Addon id: plugin.audio.absolute-radio
# Addon Provider: Phantom Raspberry Blower

Artist Information
We now need to go back to the resources folder and open the lib folder and create a empty file with the name __init__.py allowing the folder to be discovered. Next create another file called artistinfo.py and insert the following:

Images
We now need to go back to the resources folder and open the media folder. This folder contains all the icons and fanart images used by the addon along with any screenshot images of the program once complete. Download the following images and save into this folder.

Skins
We now need to go back to the resources folder and open the skin folder. Now create a subfolder called Default, next create another subfolder in the Default folder called 720p. This folder contains the layout for two screens; one shows the image of the current artist the other shows a detailed description of the artist.
Create a new file called plugin-music-visualisation.xml and insert the following:

Settings
We now need to go back to the resources folder and create an empty file named __init__.py, next create another file called settings.xml. This file holds the users settings on stream format, sound quality, displaying artist info and loging into Absolute Radio if the user has an account. Insert the following into the settings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<settings>

Addon Details
We now need to go back to the plugin.audio.absolute-radio folder and create a new file named addon.xml . This file defines the what the name of the addon is, what dependances are requied by the addon etc. Insert the following:
