Hi,
thanks for this add-on. Recently, I wanted to send a link to an opus audio file (with ending .opus). For testing, this directory of opus audio streams should be sufficient.

After some research, I found this list of supported formats and after comparison with the regex of this add-on, I can identify at least

  • m4b (identical to m4a, but other file ending, for audio books)
  • ape
  • webp
  • opus

which are understood by Kodi, but "unsupported" by this add-on.

I did not exhaustively search for other missing file formats. Instead I want to ask if it is a good idea filtering links by file endings. Some URLs may contain no file ending and instead define the type with the MIME-Type HTTP header. On the other hand, Kodi does support almost any media format there is, adding more as available. Therefore, simply trying to send any file may be more reasonable. To avoid sending no-media web site content, HTML, JavaScript, JSON, CSS,... may be filtered out, ideally by MIME-Type.
