Enchancement Request: .strm file generation for library #158

Open david-morris opened 3 years ago

david-morris commented 3 years ago

I would certainly like Music library integration, and I've had a few thoughts about it.

If there isn't a "correct" way to write a .strm path for spotify IDs, since spotty lives outside of kodi, we could either have paths that are on localhost and end in <spotify track ID>.spotify or maybe make up a dummy protocol (spotify:// addresses) and handle it. Do either of those hacks work with kodi's architecture?

Second, it might not be polite to pull a lot of metadata by bulk indexing tracks, maybe it would be a better idea to add a .strm and .nfo file when a track was played and user-set conditions are met?
