Streaming video interface?

[Craydk]

How about further integrating a buildin videostream section in MP?

It seems that there are a number of different plugins for MP1 for handling webstreams from different sources. all having their own interface (some better than others) but the same core functionalities. It would be nice to have a standardized way of adding tv-shows/streams etc as a plugin dev then only have to make a parser to create the interface XML.

i was thinking that it could be a xml based import from a given DIR taken files with an ordered structure as show below.
Perhaps also adding a genre tag a type tag (tv, you-tube) etc.

This is mostly aimed at tvshows but the interface could/should be extended for all sorts of streams
