Would it be possible to create an add-on that updates a library from a JSON file?



Hi all

I’ve been wondering for some time if it would be possible to create an addon that would make it possible to update your library based on a remote JSON file, instead of iterating over a fileshare.

It looks like https://kodi.wiki/view/Plugin_sources would be a possible way to do this, but it is not really clear to me if such a source can supply a webdav path when it comes to actually playing the media.

Also, does a plugin source work in such a way that KODI will retrieve information about the media from scrapers, just as it would if it was a SMB share?

I haven’t been able to find any source for a plugin source add-on anywhere to look at for inspiration either. Smile
