PlayThis: Conveniently Send and Add Video URLs to Kodi
PlayThis is a Chrome add-on developed by anxdpanic that enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to easily send and add video URLs to the PlayThis add-on in Kodi for resolving and playback. With PlayThis, you can conveniently access the PlayThis context menu item on various elements such as pages, frames, links, videos, audio, images, and selections.
The add-on offers several useful features. You can send URLs directly to the PlayThis add-on in Kodi for immediate resolving and playback. Additionally, you can add URLs to be resolved and played back at a later time. PlayThis also provides the option to send URLs or text as input to Kodi. Furthermore, the add-on supports up to 4 remote Kodi profiles, allowing you to seamlessly control multiple Kodi instances.
PlayThis utilizes Kodi JSON-RPC over web sockets to remotely execute the PlayThis add-on with the provided URL or source. The PlayThis add-on in Kodi will then attempt to find and resolve media from the URL to play or open. You can also access a history list within the add-on for future use or exporting to M3U format. PlayThis supports various media types including video, audio, images, and executable URLs.
To use PlayThis, you will need the PlayThis 3+ add-on installed on Kodi. Additionally, make sure to enable the "Allow remote control by programs on other systems" setting in Kodi under Settings > Services > Remote Control.
PlayThis is a valuable tool for Kodi users who want a seamless way to send and add video URLs for resolving and playback. Special thanks to @konsumer420 for the icons and artwork that enhance the overall experience.
