Need help with this add-on? See here. |
Where Are You is a plugin for Kodi that accepts a URL from a stream file and then displays a dialog box with the title and message from the stream file URL. After the dialog is dismissed a black video plays for 2 seconds. This is basically to do what the media stub file does (which is display a title and a message for a given file), but for streaming files because the media stub only works if you have an optical drive attached to the device running Kodi.
Installing
This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:
- Settings
- Add-ons
- Install from repository
- Program Add-ons
- Where Are You

About
Where Are You is a plugin for Kodi that accepts a URL from a stream file and then displays a dialog box with the title and message from the stream file URL. After the dialog is dismissed a black video plays for 2 seconds. This is basically to do what the media stub file does (which is display a title and a message for a given file), but for streaming files because the media stub only works if you have an optical drive attached to the device running Kodi.
Usage
The stream file is just a text file with a URL in it. The format of the URL is:
plugin://plugin.whereareyou?empty=pad&title=Available+streaming&message=This+is+available+via+the+Netflix+app+on+the+TV
The stream file should be named in a way that Kodi can scrape it as a TV show:
My.TV.Show.S01.E01.My.Episode.strm
or a movie:
My.Great.Movie (2020).strm
Place the stream file in a location you have defined as a source and then scan the stream files into your library. Now when you play them you'll get a dialog box telling you were to find the TV show or movie (like the Disney+ app on your Smart TV).
Generating the Stream Files
I also wrote a little python3 command line tool to generate the stream files. That command line tool is available at:
