Hi.
I would like to know if it's possible to get the video player to call a plugin:// url and then for the plugin to provide an alternate url to download the content from. Or any other solutions also would be great.
My problem is that i'm trying to make a plugin to interface with an existing service, but
1. all videos come in about 6 parts and
2. all videos require an authentication which lasts less than the time to watch a part (so I can't generate the full url at once)
Typically in the past i've used stack:// URLs or plugin:// urls which then calls xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_AUTO).play(url, item), but I'm not sure how to exactly do this within XBMC.
Or, Are there any other plugins that do a similar thing that I could see their solution?
Thanks.
