I was wondering if it is possible to write a script that would:
1) alter the behavior of the selection of a movie
2) If the file is above a specific size it would download the movie locally from the network
3) Add a line to the library to store where the file exists locally and keep the connection to the server
4) Play it from the local file on selecting the movie
5) Display an icon next to the name of the movie if possible to let the user know that it has to be downloaded and if the download has been completed
The goal of this plugin script would help with those of us users that are using a wireless connection and have issues playing 1080p streaming. I would like to configure settings such as how much space to allocate on the hard drive for storing movies so you could queue up a few that you will watch soon. If the max space is met it would delete a movie to clear space.
If anyone can just let me know if these things are possible or not I will look more into actually creating it. Thanks for the help.
