I'm also thinking about it for quite some time. Integrating all these external url's into local library will take time; but I think, it is possible to implement some quick fix for "Open Url" functionality, without adding them to local playlist/library.
As expected, quick fix was possible. I've added some commits in devel branch. Open Url in playlist section should now work with ytdl supported sites.
update: At the moment, it will work when ~'YTDL_PATH=automatic' is set in other_options.txt file, and~ quality is set to best.
v2.8 has pretty good support for ytdl. One can even use internal youtube browser to navigate to any ytdl supported site and can open links with kawaii-player. Casting of ytdl links is also supported via web interface.
it would be nice to have support for playback of youtube-dl supported sites https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html . Like mpv it has support using the ytdl option, or mplayer using youtube-dl. kawaii-player "Open Url" option doesn't open a twitch stream for example.
