And so does Plex but they both use different methods! We haven't decided what we're going to do yet so it definitely won't be any time soon.

Likewise Mezzmo supports versions too and also in a different fashion. I raised this issue early on about how the sharing solutions will integrate with the new Kodi feature.  Each sharing solution will need to decide whether to integrate their existing approaches into this new Kodi feature or leave them separate.  I'd suspect the near term is that this new Kodi feature will be be most attractive to the stand-alone Kodi instances and then over time the sharing solution integration questions will get sorted out.  I am watching this thread closely and waiting for the dust to settle to see what makes sense for the Mezzmo Kodi addon.. 

The biggest challenge for integration for a number of sharing solutions that run their own centralized databases  (maybe not MySQL) will be trying to manage the movie versions from Kodi vs. the current centralized methods pushing them out to the Kodi clients.  I don't see an easy way to propagate upstream changes from Kodi into a Plex, Jellyfin, Mezzmo etc.. database.  It is unlikely those SOAP. API and similar calls exist. But that isn't a huge issue.  it is no different than playcounts, bookmarks and similar today.


Thanks,
