[Feature / Help] Support for base64 encoded urls in players

[MrOrange9-JCT]

Describe the feature that you'd like

I’m trying to create a player for an addon that uses base64 encoded urls. These urls are not obduscated, just encoded in b64. When decoding the urls, they give this a JSON similar to this:

{
        "action": "channel_search",
        "channel": "search",
        "fanart": "{fanart}",
        "infoLabels": {
            "adult": null,
            "backdrop_path": null,
            "fanart": "{fanart}",
            "genre": null,
            "genre_ids": null,
            "id": "{id}",
            "mediatype": "movie",
            "original_language": null,
            "original_title": "{originaltitle}",
            "originaltitle": "{originaltitle}",
            "overview": "{plot}",
            "plot": "{plot}",
            "popularity": null,
            "poster_path": "{poster}",
            "rating": null,
            "release_date": "{released}",
            "thumbnail": "{thumbnail}",
            "title": "{title}",
            "tmdb_id": "{tmdb}",
            "video": false,
            "vote_average": null,
            "vote_count": null,
            "votes": null,
            "year": "{year}"
        },
        "mode": "movie",
        "text": "{title}",
        "thumbnail": "{thumbnail}",
        "title": "{title}"
    }
}

I’ve replaced all keys with their respective TMDBh keys, and left all the other ones to null or false (I didn’t know their meaning).

The part I’m struggling to make is so that all of this gets encoded to base64 and then sent to Kodi to go there. This afaik is not a feature, so I wanted to edit the code and maybe create a fork but my experience creating Kodi add-ons is near to none.

Why is this feature needed? What problem does it solve?

Some players use base64 encoded json that they then parse as the agruments in the url. I guess this works well for the addons but it does not work to create a player for TMDBh.

Steps to reproduce.
