I checked the rules about reviving the dead and apparently it's not banned here, plus if this were github, I'd be told not to create a dupe, so here we are: another user (
me) would like to request this feature too.
Usecase: Shared, home media server
It's COVID, we like music, don't want to support DRMed or lease services like Apple Music, Google Music, Spotify, etc. and get our music elsewhere (bandcamp, jamendo, soundcloud, etc.).
We would like to share that music easily, so instead of duplicating the the files on all our devices and having multiple backups per user on the shared nextcloud, the solution is one, shared server (dupes will exist on the devices, but shouldn't exist on the server).
I'm the tech savvy one in the house and setting it all up.
What we would like is for users to be able to upload music they find and simply share a link to it.
Requirements- UI should allow designating an upload destination. Possible options:
- all media in one folder
- different folder per type (music goes into /music, videos go into /videos, etc.)
- Dynamic = use variables e.g "/media/mount/uploads/$type/$hash.$ending"
- Script = a script gets the uploaded file and can do whatever it likes
- Toggle feature for all or per user

I'm sure this could be implemented ad-hoc with a service or an addon, but it would be great to have it built into Kodi. Ampache has it, but Ampache's interface is not easy to use nor is it easy to configure.
