scripts/build-addon-zip.sh runs the whole pipeline from a host with ssh
lucy:
- one-shot messense/rust-musl-cross:aarch64-musl container builds the
sidecar static (6.2MB stripped). Doesn't mutate crafting-table.
- fetches yt-dlp_linux_aarch64 from the upstream release page so Tier 2
+ Tier 3 work on the Pi (LibreELEC ships no Python YouTube tools)
- packages everything into plugin.video.torttube.zip with the Kodi
install-from-zip layout
- drops the zip at /mnt/user/downloads/torttube/ on Lucy SMB
Cargo.toml swaps rustypipe to default-features=false +
rustls-tls-webpki-roots so the cross-compile is openssl-free.
addon.xml drops the unused script.module.requests requirement — main.py
only uses Python stdlib + Kodi's own modules.
docs/install.md walks the Kodi UI flow + a smoke curl that fires
Player.Open via JSON-RPC. Pi-side smoke is pending Cobb's install on
192.168.0.158.
main.py now handles the standard Kodi plugin-URL routing:
plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&id=<yt-id>
plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&url=<full-url>
Either form calls the sidecar resolve op, picks a stream URL from the
response (rustypipe video_stream preferred, yt-dlp combined fallback),
and hands it to Kodi via xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl.
URL parser accepts watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /embed/, /live/, and
bare 11-char IDs. setResolvedUrl flags inputstream.adaptive for .mpd
and .m3u8 manifests so DASH/HLS streams play with the right demuxer.
This makes 'share to TV' work over Kodi's existing JSON-RPC API on
:8080 — Player.Open with a plugin URL is all the remote client needs.
No new server, no app — Kore / Yatse / curl / HA all already work.
docs/remote-control.md captures the curl recipe + Android share-target
plan for the eventual companion app.
Cobb wants rustypipe primary, yt-dlp fallback, and rip-to-temp as the
last-resort path when streams die mid-play. README expanded to spell
out all three tiers + adds the 'fight YouTube alongside the FOSS
ecosystem' framing. MILESTONES M1 rewritten to cover all three tiers.
New file docs/upstream.md tracks every PR we file against rustypipe /
NPE / yt-dlp with honest outcomes. Opens empty; fills as M1+ surface
real bugs to fix.
