How can or should we proceed with this? Should I still compile some information on this one?

[Tolriq]

Bump as this is a recurring need for remote makers and even if perfect solution can't be achieved at least this is a perfectly working solution that should not be stopped because maybe one day something will happens.

Because maybe one day Armageddon or Independence Day movies may become reality and we'll all be dead

[Tolriq]

So another great idea stopped because no one take a decision ?

[Martijn]

what a negative attitude..

[Tolriq]

More realistic attitude after being here for a very long time and tried a few time to make things move

[Razze]

I'm fearing the same thing :/

[Martijn]

Sure because Kodi the the only thing in our lives and everything else isn't important. So we should drop everything and stop having RL and only work on Kodi.

How selfish of us.....

[Tolriq]

And again aggressive out of context answer

Nowhere anyone said you must work more or are not invested or any bla bla like that.

The only repetitive scheme is :

- Someone propose something
- Other one says : Maybe by doing hundreds of things it could be better done
- Then status-quo, no one accept new thing because it's not the perfect way to have things done.

The only major problem can be resumed as : No one never take a decision, but anyone can block something for whatever reason.
This is an organisational problem, not an investment or anything else problem ....

@bromix shouldn't we move ahead with the python version for now?

I would love to...but I think the team got a point in doing it in CORE from the start. With the addon we create a temporally solution and have to remove it afterwards and all addons and remote controls devs. have to update again.

We've to solve this in CORE.

here's a small proof of concept of how it can be done in core and what needs to be solved: https://github.com/tamland/xbmc/tree/uri2addon

Looks good...I hope I can get involved after the wedding I want to see this to work and help with it.

Makes it sense to optimize the resolving only for known hosts by the addon? I don't know how complex and a performance issue the regex could get. I'm referring to this comment: https://github.com/tamland/xbmc/commit/d...21d5bR3373

e.g. for YouTube:

defines known host youtube.com and youtu.be and after that we trigger the regex...okay...after writing this line of text...it makes no difference ....just start with regex anyway xD and not all addons will provide such a thing.

Just a question / remark

item.IsInternetStream() does this limit to http / https ?

About kodi side addons resolution one that is asked to me often is support for magnet:// urls and I suppose there can be a lot of protocols handled by kodi addons.

[bromix]

I've to agree (silently) on that other schemes of the URI/URL (Protocol) besides of http(s) could also be handled by some addon (e.g. ftp for a public image server ^^) maybe someones own private server + own addon to view his gallery.

[o2ri]

and? someone took it?

i remember an old service from aj developer did something similar :

https://offshoregit.com/ajaddons/prod/re...-0.6.3.zip

it used to connect chrome to kodi and now works from firefox.https://github.com/willhelm-mueller/playitonkodi
