Mainly I'd like to be able to transmit a youtube url via network to the xbmc machine and then the video starts playing.
There was this Firefox extension XBMCfox and a greasemonkey script that tried to get the url of the flv and then used the (deprecated) http api of xbmc to make it play the video. But both stopped working long time ago.
Nowadays one could use the json rpc api but I was too retarded to get the actual video url (of the flv) scraped to send it to xbmc.
I wonder if there would be a way to send a link (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567) to your addon and make it care for the rest.
Or instead (if that's not possible. At least I couldn't find an easy way) point me to the right direction so I can scrape the video url by myself and use the rpc api.
Thanks in advance
