kodi-invidious-plugin's Introduction

Invidious plugin for Kodi

This plugin provides an Invidious client for Kodi. Invidious is a privacy-friendly web frontend to YouTube.

Note: Currently, this plugin is only tested with Kodi 20 and newer.

Installation

To keep track with development, it is recommended to install the plugin with git:

# please change the destination if necessary
git clone https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kodi-invidious-plugin.git ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.invidious

# on an embedded device (e.g., an X96 Mini running CoreELEC, you need to clone to /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.invidious

You can also download an archive and extract it in the right place instead of using git:

# same here: make sure you change to the right directory
cd ~/.kodi/addons/

# download a zip archive
mkdir plugin.video.invidious
wget https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kodi-invidious-plugin/archive/master.tar.gz -O - | tar xz --strip-components=1 -C plugin.video.invidious

It is strongly recommended to use git instead of an archive, as it makes updating the plugin a lot easier.

You may have to restart Kodi before you can enable the plugin. To enable the plugin, please go to the addons settings, switch to user plugins and enable the plugin there.

To Do

evaluate using youtube-dl to remove dependency on third-party web service (maybe in a second plugin)
implement adaptive streaming properly
be able to open YouTube videos from NewPipe
~~add support for settings, e.g., to configure Invidious instance~~
~~support for adaptive streaming~~
consider supporting versions < Kodi 18 (e.g., by making the dependency on inputstream-helper optional)
trending, top, popular etc. video lists (not too important to most people, but Invidious offers endpoints, so why not?)
visit channel of list items (e.g., via the context menu of a video search result)
save channels in favorite list (for quick access from the main menu)
support for subtitles

kodi-invidious-plugin's Issues

Add support for NewPipe's "Play with Kodi" option

As a user of NewPipe,
I want Kodi to use the Invidious plugin when using "Play with Kodi",
so that I can play and queue YouTube videos from within NewPipe on my phone

Acceptance criterias

When using the "Play with Kodi" button in NewPipe and then sending the video to the Kodi remote app "Kore", the Invidious plugin is opened in Kodi and starts playing the video

Meta info for search results

Hi there, would it be possible for you to add meta information for the search results as well? The title alone is of course often not meaningful enough...

Best regards

After installing the plugin an all of the dependencies on Kodi 20.2 running on osmc "Trending" and "Popular" work fine. But clicking on "Search->New Search->enter a search term->ok" leeds to an error. Here are the logs:
