Hello All -&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I was thinking about getting into plugin development. I want to create a plugin for 'Offside Streams'. I'm a paying customer on their site. I love Plex and using it on my phone. But I want to watch Offside on my &nbsp;mobile device in my home and my 48 inch OLED TV as well. I think Plex supports my theory.

&nbsp;

Has anyone made a 'Offside Stream' plugin? Or whats the best documentation that I can view so I can start developing my own plugins for plex for the future.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

All replies are grateful

-Ehhunt ;)

I have recently looking at this. I kind of want to abandon Kodi completely but the fact there is nothing to replace the offside streams app on there for Plex is holding me back.

Most people start by looking at other plugins that access a similar type of website to get started.

The fact that you talk about being a “paying member,” makes me think that it requires a username and password. The biggest issue you will encounter creating a plugin for any website that requires user authentication is how to pass that info.

Plex does not use a Flash Player, so you would either need API provided by the website to authenticate users or be able to send that info as part of the URL request.
