dukus - Have you been able to speak with the other developers about this plugin?

[dukus]

Only with zebons

[dukus]

I put some more examples in my site.
I wait some suggestion for improvements.

New version:
- checking updates if exist new version download and install.

For supporting updates:
In server side must exist 2 file
1 . MPExtensionFileList.xml
2 . the package mpi

Ex. for MPExtensionFileList.xml:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.xsl" ?>
<MPinstalerS>
	<ver>1.00.000</ver>
	<ExtensionList>
		<Extension>
			<FileName>Coolreciver.mpi</FileName>
			<Name>Coolreciver</Name>
			<URL>http://dukus.extra.hu</URL>
			<Version>0.2.x.x</Version>
			<Author>Zdravko Sebastijanovic</Author>
			<Description>    This is a replacement for Coolcommand remote plugin made by dukus. With this plugin you can use all buttons on the remote (some buttons on the white rm don't work) and you can start mediaportal by pressing power button on your remote (for this to work you need to replace WFMultRM.exe in Winfast folder, read the instrucions).</Description>
			<Group>Input</Group>
         	</Extension>
	</ExtensionList>
	<Option />
</MPinstalerS>

I find this a good plugin and I will try to use it to release updates of the plugins I maintain atm. One small thing, could you please rename it to 'MPinstaller'. It looks like a misspelling

[dukus]

I will change the name on next release (It is misspelled )

Hi dukus,
Do you think about an upload function in your plugin ?
In that case, it should be nice to :
- select in the combobox the desired server for uploading and of course dowloading (and why not an official server). List of servers given in a parameter file
- ask for a password to enable upload only for specific users (developpers)
- generate the mpe file in the same time than the mpi

your opinion ?

[dukus]

Yes, i making some experiments and should work, but only in FTP mod, needed a server with FTP service.
Another problem is the official site, in current format the team-mediaportal isn't usable. If somebody is able to help me with this problem, is welcomed...
