Now the type of a video is defined when trying to play a video so that
live streams (.m3u8) are directly played by Kodi (no download required).
We are able to know if a video is live from the response of the "list"
REST API but it was decided to ignore this information in order to have
a single action to play video (whether it is live or not).
The goal was to keep the API of the add-on as simple as possible so that
externel users only have to call the add-on's API with the ID of a
video, without having to add the type of the video.
The information about the type of the video will anyway be available in
the response used to get the URL of a video so this solution does not
impact the performance.
New features:
* Add the description of each video and each instance. The total number
of local videos and users of an instance are also added to the
description of the instance in Kodi.
* Add the total number of pages in the "Next page" item (+ fix the
number of the current page)
* Display a notification when the download of the torrent starts (will
help the user to know that something is going on, especially on slow
machines)
* Support instance URL that are prefixed with "https://" in the settings
Internal changes:
* Create a smaller entry point file to match Kodi's best practices
(main.py)
* Create a new main module (addon.py) containing only the code related
to the add-on execution. The other lines of code were moved to the
classes PeerTube or KodiUtils.
* KodiUtils is now a class and an instance of this class is made
available to all the modules of the add-on to reuse easily its methods
and attributes.
* Create helper functions in KodiUtils for creating items in Kodi UI
easily
