I present my little addon to transform kodi in a receiver for media requests (youtube pages, soundcloud etc...)
When browsing the web you can click a bookmarklet to tell KODI (over the network) to launch the media.

A lighter alternative to playit :

But relies on youtube_dl and not url resolver to extract content.
Basically, it starts a little http server on the kodi machine watching for media requests.
It processes them thanks to youtube_dl information extractor and then launches a KODI streaming.
It's really a first attempt made by my own. It's elegantly short thanks to python and seems stable enough to share.
With some better knowledge of youtube_dl python module, it should be possible to manage playlists and subtitles.
Also, I wonder how I could automate the youtube_dl core updating...
I hope this can be of use to someone !
Can anybody test it and give me feedback ?
