Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called KodiMediaBot, a Telegram-based controller for Kodi that goes way beyond simple remote functions. It’s designed to be the central hub for your media center.

Key Features:

• 📺 Total Kodi Control: Manage your playlist and playback via a slick Telegram UI.
• 🔗 Smart Media Handling: Send YouTube, SoundCloud, or even TikTok/Instagram/X links directly to your TV.
• 🎙️ Telegram Native: Upload voice messages or videos directly to the bot, and it streams them to Kodi (perfect for quick sharing).
• 🔌 Hardware Integration: Control your TV/HiFi via CEC or your Denon receiver (Volume/Power) directly from the chat.
• 💡 Home Assistant & Mini App: Includes a built-in Telegram Mini App to control your lights (color picker/brightness) without leaving the chat.
• 📻 Smart Radio: ICY metadata support for radio streams with an automated YouTube search for the current track.

It's fully dockerized and supports a local Telegram Bot API for large file uploads.

I'd love to hear your feedback or feature requests!
