Hey guys, I have started making my first plugin. I am doing a "my movies" type plugin where it gets the info from imdb. I know this functionality is already available, but i want to make it suite my computer setup a bit better and at the same time learn the basics about writing plugins for MP.

Anyhow, I have a few questions.

1. How do I change the size of the items in a thumbnail veiw. I want to set my own custon size, not small/large or whatever?? is it even possible?

2. Can someone direct me to a tutorial of some sort to help me retrieve info from IMDB? if not could someone post a brief discription of the process or give any help or suggestions?

3. How do i play a video file? once I click or push ok on a thumbnail, I want the movie to start playing?

Thanks in advance guys
