LWA for open source addon usable?

I want to build an music addon for the open source media center project "https:\\kodi.tv". This addon shall use the Amazon Music API's with customer user credentials. That means a local installation of this addon on each client is necessary.

LWA is available for Websites, iOS Apps, Android, Fire Apps, TV's and other devices. But how can I integrate LWA in an open source project without sharing my client/device secrets?

Or is there another way to use the Amazon Music API's without LWA?

Interesting Idea, however currently, each implementer would have to have their own Security profile and client ID in LWA, The security profile is used to enable access to the service. For applications and devices to stream Amazon Music they must be certified by Amazon to ensure the implementer meets the terms of service. Amazon Music also required the Media player to implement DRM.

DRM will be ensured by Google widevine, that shouldn't be an issue. Let's assume I'm using the (my) client ID and I would implement it as hard coded target. This piece of software will be shared with all interested Amazon Music / Kodi users and they logon with their Amazon credentials to listen their own music, based on their contract. With this step I would implement just a bridge to make Amazon Music available on kodi.

To whom do I need to send my piece of code? Are there any other dependencies?

I need to do further investigation if this is something we can allow. we need to be sure any products using our service can ensure adherence to our program requirements. You can e-mail music-dev-noreply@amazon.com do discuss offline.
