[QUOTE="Vaelek, post: 387296, member: 89287"] So I found the plugin dev guide, what there is for one anyhow. I have yet to find any API documentation for plugin development though. Everything I have found (minus the guide), dating back to 2004, just says to look at the source code and figure it out (of which there is almost 500MB of!!). This is an awful long time to have no docs.

Even something as fundamental as playing a video or stream has no mention. So far all I have figured out has been through loading other plugins into Reflector and trying to piece things together.

I find the fact that v2 is in development without ever documenting the v1 API to be sortof absurd. Even as I write this, I see the 'similar threads' displayed have API questions with 0 replies dating back over a year. When can we expect some API docs :S :thx: [/QUOTE]
