Feature Request URL Resolver Script.

[Sanjjay]

Hi dirkjanm

I would love this addon to support other websites not only youtube.

The same way you send youtube links to plugin://plugin.video.youtube, can you send any links to plugin://script.module.urlresolver which also handles youtube links and many other websites in one addon.

A Simple addon just to send any link to KODI if URL Resolver supports it will run it in KODI.

It will also be easier to maintain as you will not have to mess around with youtube and other websites when ever they make changes to them, because people who maintian URL Resolver update changes of websites for KODI.

Also can you make a toolbarbutton which does the same thing as the context menu.

I will have a look if it is possible to add support for the url resolver plugin. A problem with that is that I'd have to implement a list of sites that the urlresolver works with, because adding the menu on every link makes no sense.
The toolbar button is on my wishlist too, but that will require quite some time to add.

This addon below did exactly as I mentioned above but the author has not updated in a long time.
Its licensed under GPL v3 will be easier to fork and improve it with your addon.

What I like about your addon is that you can add/save multiple IP's and Host

What I don't like about Playit on XBMC.

1. Cannot manage servers via right click on toolbarbutton (have to go to about:addons).
2. Toolbarbutton cannot be moved around forced to stay at the end off navbar.
3. Remove dropmarker onthe toolbarbutton and have right click on toolbarbutton with a menupopup only.

Thank you for considering this feature.

Why not adapt this extension to work with the sendtokodi Kodi plugin? All the intricacies of extracting and playing the videos are then handled by youtube-dl.

adding the menu on every link makes no sense

It does with youtube-dl, since it's versatile enough to work on most pages with embedded video.
