Is it possible to call another plugin/channel within a plugin?

Hi all,

I’m continuing a project I began a while ago where I’m trying to scrape a website (www.ddizi.com). The majority of the links on this website are dailymotion. Is it possible to make use of the existing dailymotion channel by calling it within my plugin? I do this with XBMC/KODI, not sure if it’s possible with plex…

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yes, this is definitely possible. You still have to write a URL Service for your source site first, but from within that service you can refer to other URL Services that are available. A channel and URL Service that do this is Wimp. The channel makes it possible to browse the site. The Wimp URL Service will use the (in this case) YouTube URL Service if it encounters a YouTube video.
