Kodi Matrix – Importar Mídia e Integração na coleção

The new concept introduces the terms media providers and media imports. A media provider is an entity that can provide a set of media items and maybe also a hierarchy (filesystem). A media import is a pointer to a location in the hierarchy of a provider in combination with a list of media items (movies, tvshows, …) that should be imported from that specific provider and location. Therefore there can be several imports for a single provider (e.g. multiple specific paths of a plugin). While this concept is aimed at specialized providers like UPnP servers etc. it could theoretically also be applied to the current library scanning and scraping. The provider would then be a specific server (or the local filesystem) and an import would just be a combination of a specific path on that server and a media type to import from that path. To handle providers and imports there are provider repositories which are just database specific implementation.

Work in progress based on Montellese work…
