Well, the time is finally there. After spending some time writing for the MediaPortal wiki (amongst others on how to write plugins), what better thing to do now than write a plugin for MediaPortal to browse that wiki?
It's my first MP plugin (and actually one of my first proper C# programs), so please don't be too harsh on me
. The code is very heavily based on Machine's Wikipedia plugin.
The plugin can be downloaded from the repository, and the documentation is (of course!) in the wiki.
Though the plugin is definitely usable at the moment (or at least I hope so), there are lots of things I want to work on in the future, but I haven't figured out yet how to do them:
If anybody has any idea on how to program this and other enhancements (or can point me to example code I can use), then I'd be very happy to hear it!
Hope you will find good use for my plugin, for me it was very educational writing it!
Thanks, Peter

- I need to make one of those blueish men. Is there a PSD or something available to work with?
- The Search and Back buttons don't work yet.
- Tables need to be rendered better.
- Show a list of image thumbnails.
