jsonrpc method to open a video

Feature request

I’m submitting a proposal to …

• new feature
• change an existing feature

Describe your request

With the youtube plugin it is possible to browse youtube on a remote device (phone, web browser etc.) and to send to kodi a request to watch the current video with it. This is done with extensions like send-to-kodi or the Kore app on android (thanks to a jsonrpc method). Would it be possible to have the same with netflix and this plugin?

Describe the use case

I have kodi set up on a TV, however it is way easier to browse netflix on my phone or a laptop. Hence this will bring the two together and have an experience a bit similar to what a chromecast provides.

Development tips

This is the kind of request used for youtube (from here):

curl \
	${user:+--user "$user:$pass"} \
	-X POST \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"file":"plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=dQw4w9WgXcQ"}},"id":1}' \
	http://$host:$port/jsonrpc

PS: Sorry if this feature already exist, and if so, what would be an example of POST request to send to kodi to have this?

Sure I understand, will ping them and see their respond.

For Android, ok that’s a shame but I understand. If I ever go into android dev, I might try to make a minimal app that does just this, it looks like a good first project.

Anyway, thanks for your time and for considering it, I’ll create issues on some browser app pages and see what they reply.
