Download button

[LeoIannacone]

Hi,

why not add a download button to get the files via the kodi VFS ?

It would be really useful!

@LeoIannacone

Please explain your use case and explain your request in more details.
Im not sure if I understand what you would like to achieve here.

Let say you want use the interface to share files ..

For instance, Connecting from A (PC somewhere) to B (XBMC station) you can not only see the DB, but also play/download the files.

ahhh right, so you want is the ability to play files or play to device?

So not really a download button, but ability to play the files in the library then?

Because downloading the file is unlikely to happen, as this is a interface for managing the metadata database, not your files which reside maybe on a NAS or where the files are and move that file physically via some web interface beween kodi instances.

Nono,

I want download files!

You can do it using http://kodi.wiki/view/Webserver#Virtual_File_System_.2Fvfs

It's really easy to do!

No idea, Im not a developer. If you want to add this feature to code, and know how to do it submit a pR with changes. Feel welcome to contribute further we do need developers. 😄 👍

Else you will need to wait for a developer who is interested in this has time to do it and we dont have much of that around here.

off the top of my head, you need a fully functional system in addon that reports back the status of the json calls and that is not even implemented.
