Add channel to MQTT?

[travplan]

@owagner
Firstly, I would like to thank you for this addon, it is making my home automation interact with my TV finally possible. It seems to be working flawlessly.
Im wondering if theres a way to get kodi to send the selected channel to mqtt. I have a library built with IR codes for my satellite that i can call from mqtt.
If kodi was able to send "kodi/123" through mqtt when I select channel "123" through the guide or channel list - I would be able to port that through to my IR tranceiver bridge and actually change the channel. If this is something you could implement I would be forever grateful.

Thanks in advance.
