Initially (and still in the Kodi code) it was named "media source" but when I first introduced the concept to the team some found it confusing because we already use "source" for the existing file based sources. I don't want to use the term "server" because importing can theoretically happen from anywhere. We already support importing from another Kodi installation using UPnP.

- Media imports are not video-specific but could also support music. I just never implemented it because I don't really use the music library myself and don't know how it works.
- Media > Library > Videos (there is no "Sources") forwards to "Videos > Files" which certainly doesn't fit media importing.
- The existing sources and media providers / imports work completely different so I wanted to avoid any confusion.
Maybe we should do the following:
- Add a "Sources" (or whatever it will be named) node under Videos. This is also where Media > Library > Videos would forward to.
- Add sub-nodes "Files" and "Imports" where "Files" shows the same as Videos > Files does now and "Imports" shows a list of media providers (with the matching imports as sub-nodes)
