Ok. If i am right, noone talked of this by now
I often use external programs (such as web video browsers) to cast media urls to Kodi via Yatse.
It would be a very useful (and maybe not so hard to code) feature, to have an âAdd to Favoritesâ button inside ânow playingâ controls, and maybe on the âqueue itemsâ (selected ones).
This way any url could be added to Kodiâs favourites.xml (i remember i have done this manually in text editor).
In addition we could have a similar button inside âFavorites Tabâ, which pops up a textbox, where you could write/paste a custom url (and title). But i donât wanna ask too much
I always wandered why such an easy custom favorites option was never implemented in Kodi itself⌠For me it would be as simple as useful!
Hope i am not the only one needing this
The fact that itâs not in Kodi itself gives a clue about how favourites are a very poor child in Kodi
Most people use other solutions via addons to manage their favourites.
The problem is that the Kodi API about favourites is very limited as no delete and no edit function due to no way to validate how it should be made. Since the start of Yatse I always chose to only implement things that fully works and not things that halfway works and that users would not fully understand.
Thatâs why Yatse have itâs internal favorites system, can import from Kodi but canât push to Kodi as it would be too limited.
