Thanks. Still a little unclear about how multiple versions are named but cool to see this feature being worked on. Though I currently use JellyFin to manage my media server and feed to Kodi a a client so unsure if this becomes compatible between the 2 as well.

The discussion of Extras is nice to see though I've not found any current working and supported version of these types of add-ons function as neat and clean as the old defunct version taht still does what I need as I need even with some concession.

I too use and author a media sharing solution.  For this to work with them the addon code which syncs from the sharing solution centralized server will need to be updated to support the new Kodi video database table structures.  That part is likely doable which would allow collections / movie versions to sync from the centralized server to Kodi.  The bigger challenge will be pushing changes made in the Kodi GUI up to the centralized media server (i.e. adding a new movie version).  It is unlikely for that to ever really work without API support on the centralized server and if there is a way for the addon / client to catch the calls with Kodi to trigger an update via the API.  All this means is administration would need to be done via the centralized server, which is likely what happens with most solutions vs. from a client.  I only allow clients to make minor changes like clear the playcount or bookmarks / resume pointers.   MySQL may be the exception here given its architecture.  Jellyfin, Plex, Mezzmo etc..  will have to deal with the items I mention.

This is a great addition for stand-alone Kodi instances but for multiple instances with sharing solutions the mileage will vary.  


Thanks,
