Jimba I think mediaportal have a tutorial on how to create a simple plugin in the wiki if you're looking for a starter. I typically do most of my coding in another Console Application project, mainly because testing in mediaportal is far too slow.

I've been messing with the new HD, personally, I don't really care for HD but it might work. This is what I have so far...

This shows an HD holding image although the stream, when played, is the regular one. The BBC don't set a cookie to define HD so i'm guessing its a flashvar or combination of flashvars that tell the player to select the HD stream.
