I also would like .strm files to be handled more as 'normal' video files.
One thing especially is trailers.
If you have a movie imported to the library as movie.strm file, you can play this video.
But if you want to see the accompying trailer, "trailer.strm", it shows movie.strm instead. (pressing i and then play trailer)
It seems that .strm files can't have trailers.
fileitem.cpp:
// no local trailer available for these
if (IsInternetStream()
|| URIUtils::IsUPnP(strFile)
|| URIUtils::IsBluray(strFile)
|| IsLiveTV()
|| IsPlugin()
|| IsDVD())
return "";
Add-on :
Bluray iso utils Rewrite of BR_iso_enhancements
Add-on :
BR_iso_Enhancements Give theatrical & directors cut from the same bluray iso each their own library entry, use bluray iso's of tv shows as if they are already ripped.

It seems that the way strm files are being used now might be different from the original concept. Seems like it was meant to point to a internet stream, whereas, it is now being used to point to an offsite file, that is access through a plugin (a file on YouTube, Amazon, or Netflix servers in the examples i gave above).
I think some are also using strm for files in cloud storage such Google Drive, One Drive etc. I still keep my files on a NAS, but I do use strm files for YouTube, Amazon and Netflix. Maybe others could chime in on the other services.
Cheers,
Long Man
