Hi and thank you for this great addon! it worked flawlessly many months here on Mac OSX.

Recently, I've added a second server, but cannot find a way to send the yt-video to the second server. There seems to be no right-click feature or maybe a second button in the url-bar or something else, I can do to send a video to the second server. (I'm using a MacBookPro with an integrated touchpad, no mouse)

After swapping the servers in the config, the video is sent to the new server correctly, so all the settings are fine.

Any Ideas?

(As a feature request, I'd like to see two buttons in the urlbar for sending the videos to different kodis, the buttons might look the same, but the tooltip can tell which kodi server is used)

Thanks again for this great idea and development!!

Hi,

The functionality should be as follows: if there are multiple servers, clicking on the button in the address bar should display a drop down with the servers you have configured. Similar for the right click button there should be a submenu instead of the single "send to kodi" item. Do you get any item in the right click menu at all? Which version of Firefox is this on?

Hi and sorry for the really late reply, nope, no right-click menu, no submenu, no nothing. I can only "just leftclick" on the icon and thats sending the current video to kodi (first added server). I'm using FF 53.0.3 (64Bit), I guess, thats the reason, but I can't change that. Thanks!

I've looked around a bit and it seems that the plugin is using some features that are only supported in Firefox 57 and newer. That might be why you don't get the choice properly, though I would expect it to throw errors instead of sending it only to one server. Unless this can be reproduced on a newer Firefox version I don't think this is something that can be solved.
