I would like to help "pushing". I have a Freenas Server and I am running emby.....almost perfect but the idea of having a native kodi on the server sounds appealing

Thanks, what nate was talking about is mostly dev push though I think this thread in general shows its a wanted feature.

As a follow up to this, getting stuff PRed into Kodi, when it touches all sorts of things, is pretty difficult and really only gets the attention it deserves when either a lot of people are pushing for it, or the numerous devs necessary across platforms get together behind it. (The downside of an all volunteer dev team, I suppose.) My guess is that this will become far easier to push in once montellese's Media Importing project is done and in. At that point, more devs and users will see the value of having a headless kodi server sitting somewhere acting as the main source for imported media, and will push to make it happen.

That's just a guess though.

Honestly I think thats the problem. Headless touches so much underlying code, which is not sexy in any way. So unless people actually wants headless (and devs on all platforms) it won't get done

Linux and OS X are very similar, but there is noone for windows which is interested. But perhaps it will get an upswing when Sascha gets his media importing in. But sadly that PR kindof has the same problem, it touches a crapload and very few will help out with it I suspect.

I can not even begin to comprehend whats involved in this. I definitely meant to say "push the idea" not you.
Thank you for even explaining how involved this actually is and thank you for making a start...
