Feature request: Allow a strm file to contain a HTTP address

[tOLJY 50]

The idea is that I would like to mirror YouTube videos I am intending to watch in emby. Pretty straightforward using nfo files. Would be perfect if I could add strm files or other with the URL to YouTube itself - causing the tv to open that URL in the associated app itself.

Just using YouTube itself is of course an option but I have a large library of videos/subscriptions to watch and YouTube organises itself poorly.

Hi, I haven’t tested but there’s a chance YouTube might work on the 4.9 beta server. 

If not we can make it work.

I have tested this and don't believe it is working in 4.9.1.80 server with 3.5.16 android client.

Are we any closer to this one? Really all it needs to be is allowing you to open a hyperlink or all link and let the app (YouTube) and android handle the rest right?

Hi, YouTube URLs should work in strm.

I must be missing something then

I have a link in a strm file and when I click play it shows a black video player and nothing plays...
