Lightbulb MPII -My Idea

Hi infinityloop,

i am something like a submarine, just appearing sometimes ;-)
A few days ago i've had a - for me - pretty cool idea for MP. I've already wrote an email to frodo, but i want to publish it here...

My idea is to integrate optional calls to Scripts Users can modify. Example:
You click "Videos" in the GUI. Then Mediaportal is looking at a predifined location for a script calles myVideos.vbs(f.e.).
This script would - in my case - check if there is a network connection and all network drives have been mapped. If not it would do so.

For this, interfaces must be designed, deciding which objects will be handed over to the script, and which are read only / writable.
Implementing those User Script Calls will increase the flexibility and customization possibilities for Advanced Users "to the max".

How do you like this?

tom

P.S.: Some might now know my Job... UserExits ;-)
