Currently channels are second class citizens... only sections have privileges :(

&nbsp;

My Wish:

&nbsp;

Channels should have:

&nbsp;

Ability to create Subtitle streams.

Ability to Scrobble/Unscrobble Items via ratingKey. (Callback to the plugin).

Ability to Select audio/subtitle Streams via ratingKey. (Callback to the plugin).

Ability to store videoOffset via ratingKey, when user stops, and resume later (Callback to the plugin)

Ability to add a channel as a section, so the content of the plugin can be used in plex sharing.

Ability to dynamically/programmatically populate preferences.

&nbsp;
