Question:   is there a way to translate the special:// paths (http://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol) to traditional filesystem paths in scripts like mklocal.py?  I enabled gif support and added a workaround for my use case, but it wouldn't be needed if there was an easy way to translate these paths.

For reference, i replaced line 522 from:

Code:

newsource = source

 
to

Code:


    if "special://profile/" in source:
       newsource = source.replace("special://profile/","/storage/.kodi/userdata/",1)
    else:
       newsource = source
