Integrate "Mediatheken" from MediathekView

[ElsaBergstrom]

Your plugin is really cool!! With Kodi I use the plugin "MediathekView Kodi Addon". This plugin makes films available from many German tv channels (i.e. from many German "Mediatheken"). The code for the MediathekView server that searches the "Mediatheken" and finds the URLs of the films is here: https://github.com/mediathekview/MServer. In the code one could probably look up how to find the film URLs from a lot of additional German "Mediatheken" and integrate them in your plugin. Could you do this? That would be great!

The extension supports Arte and ZDF websites. Since version 5.16.0, there is also ARD Mediathek.

Thanks a lot! Unluckily I cannot get ARD Mediathek working in version 6.1.1 of Cast Kodi. For instance this link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/kranitz-bei-trennung-geld-zurueck/folge-4-manni-und-sandy-barmbek-statt-bahamas-s01-e04/ndr-fernsehen/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS8wYzkxNjlhYi04MTU1LTQzNmMtOTQyMC0wZjQ2MDVkYjFmOTI/

Video DownloadHelper finds: https://adaptive-ndr.akamaized.net/i/ndr/2021/1009/TV-20211009-1543-3300.,hd,hq,ln,mn,ao,.mp4.csmil/index-f1-v1-a1.m3u8

When I search https://mediathekviewweb.de/ for kranitz 4 I find many URLs, for instance https://mediandr-a.akamaihd.net/progressive/2021/1009/TV-20211009-1543-3300.hd.mp4

The links from Video DownloadHelper and MediathekVieWweb can be sent to kodi to play the film.

Cast Kodi finds: plugin://plugin.video.ardmediathek_de/?client=ard&mode=libArdPlay&id=Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS8wYzkxNjlhYi04MTU1LTQzNmMtOTQyMC0wZjQ2MDVkYjFmOTI

This does not work.

To play videos from ARD Mediathek, you need the ARD Mediathek add-ons in Kodi.

The video Folge 4: Manni & Sandy - Barmbek statt Bahamas (S01/E04) works for me with :

• Cast Kodi 6.1.1 (in Firefox 93.0)
• ARD Mediathek 6.0.0 (in Kodi 19.1)

Do you have errors in log file?
