Something I like with Kodi is that I can create short text files with .strm extension to refer to Youtube videos. This together with .nfo metadata files allows me to create a "metadata library" of content on Youtube. Since the Youtube plugin lost most of its browsing capabilities, I have now scripted download of metadata from my favorite Youtube channels and view them that way.
- deftnerd 5y agoI didn't know that was a Kodi feature. It's actually enough for me to consider migrating away from my Plex setup, or at least running them in parallel.
- 3np 5y agoKodi has a plugin for Plex, so you can do both.
- mongol 5y agoIt might be a feature by accident. All documentation about this is about it's use for local media but it works for Youtube. You need the Youtube addon, and the .strm file contents should refer to the plugin with the video id.
- sumtechguy 5y agoKodi and plex were once one in the same codebase. Depending when they added the feature it may work in plex as well.
- 3np 5y agoFWIW there are also two alternatives for Jellyfin plugins for Kodi (depending on how tight you want to integrate with the libary), they play quite well together.
