Are you using addons for watching video content? Meta is here to make your life a bit easier!
Meta is an addon that lists media from The Movie Database and TheTVDB. Upon media selection, Meta search through your local library, configured folders and configured addons and displays a selection dialog to allow the user select which source to use for media playback.
Meta uses concurrent execution to search all configured addons and folders simultaneously. Additionally, discovered sources are displayed as they are found and there is no need to wait for the process to complete before selecting a source.
Meta can improve your current Kodi usage pattern:
By default Meta is shipped with no configured sources at all. However, your local library and other addons can be linked to Meta by writing small configuration files referred to as Meta-players. A Meta-player is a file with ".meta.json" file extension that specifies how to browse an external addon or a folder.
Existing Meta-players can easily be added to Meta from Meta's settings. Set in Players URL a link to a zip of all Meta-players to install, then select the Install form URL option and finally enable some of the installed Meta-players from Meta's settings. See a link to be used for official meta players in the download section below.
If no one created a Meta-player for a specific addon yet, you'll need to write it on your own. See Writing-a-Meta-player for a guide.
Respect copyright laws. Meta is completely legal and provides no links at all. It only re-arranges the content of your other, already installed, addons. Do not ask for help related to any addon that may provide illegal content.
Discussion is allowed only for addons listed in the official Kodi repository.
NEW:
@primaeval created:
* Advanced IMDb Title Search addon (uses Meta for playing and library integration)
@midraal added two cool features:
* Trakt integration (WIP)
* Live channels support
Download:
* Repository: https://github.com/metate/meta4kodi/raw/...-1.0.0.zip
* Meta-Players URL: https://api.github.com/repos/metate/offi...rs/zipball (short: http://tinyurl.com/jqcev34)
Open addon settings and set that URL in Players URL, then select the Install from URL and finally enable some of the installed Meta-players using 'Enable movie players' and 'Enable TV players'.
* Installation of the context-menu addon is optional (allows opening Meta selection dialog from your existing library through the context menu).
Changelog:
v1.1.4
- Store live searches (can move items or remove them from context menu)
- Another fix for trakt authentication

Meta is an addon that lists media from The Movie Database and TheTVDB. Upon media selection, Meta search through your local library, configured folders and configured addons and displays a selection dialog to allow the user select which source to use for media playback.
Meta uses concurrent execution to search all configured addons and folders simultaneously. Additionally, discovered sources are displayed as they are found and there is no need to wait for the process to complete before selecting a source.
Meta can improve your current Kodi usage pattern:
- Focus on media first Instead of searching for the same content through all of your addons until you find the correct addon to use, you simply find it in Meta and a list of all links from all configured addons will be displayed right in front of you.
- Library integration Some of your media may only be available through addons that do not support library integration. Using Meta you can add virtually any media to your Kodi library (pseudo library using strm generation).
By default Meta is shipped with no configured sources at all. However, your local library and other addons can be linked to Meta by writing small configuration files referred to as Meta-players. A Meta-player is a file with ".meta.json" file extension that specifies how to browse an external addon or a folder.
