Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is a quality improvement, rather than an issue. It'll give addon developers more flexibility, and improve the quality of the provided content through Stremio. As a result, this will reflect positively on the end-user in the long run.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow addon developer to provide and control more fields for the stream details:
Control whether a stream appear on continue watching, and whether its progress should be remembered. For example "remember": false will prevent its progress from being kept or showing on continue watching.
Advantage: live streams, short social media content, and other unwanted content can be prevented from showing in the continue watching list.
Control whether a stream should auto-play. For example: "autoplay": true will automatically play this particular stream. Alternatively, default to play the only stream if it is already provided with the meta details.
Advantage: allow developers of special content addons with single stream per video to auto-play it once the video/content is selected without having to show the list of streams (e.g. tv channels or social media content).
Supply additional stream details with each stream info. For example: "source": "Blu-Ray" and "resolution": "1080p" and "codecs": "["H.264", "DTS"] and "channels": ["2.0", "5.1"] and "languages": ["en", "fr"] and"size": "1.50 GB"
Advatage: Stremio can show visual logos for the stream info if specified by the addon, which will make it easier for end-users to see and understand quickly. Also, if widely adopted by addon developers, it will make it possible in the future to specify the preferred streams by the end-users, and to even have auto-play option configured and determined based on that.
Override the content logo (used for meta/loading screens) by specifying a stream logo. For exmaple: "logo": "http://.../youtube.png" in the stream json.
Advatage: there are cases where logos are not available for certain addon's contents, but the addon could still use a generic logo for the stream loading (e.g. YouTube logo), but not necessarily for the content details.
