Full Version: Video addon with streaming not HTTP

My video addon creates a list of playable content with HTTP URLs. Since the original content is not HTTP accesible, my addon includes a tiny HTTP server in 127.0.0.1 and convert from HTTP to the remote protocol. The links that I generating point to 127.0.0.1, to be "proxified".

I wonder if Kodi has different transports, beside HTTP, FTP, etc. Managing the HTTP proxy is messy and inconvenient. I wonder if there is any other option. Would be amazing if, for instance, I could give back a file-like object to abstract the backend.
probably incomplete list: http(s), ftp(s), ssh/sftp, rtmp, mms
Any hope of having a complete list somewhere online?

Can new transports to be added easily?
how about you tell us what you are trying to to? Which protocol is that stream originally?
