[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11728"] [u]Control Frame Work[/u] :idea: I have a idea to propose for an external control plugin. As there seems to be quite a range of devices and method people want to control MediaPortal with, a general control frame work may be better. The framework would have a library for all plugins to give data, settings to in a standard way, like the guilib we have now. There would then be device plugins that would allow each device at access the data, settings it can and display then. eg. a Web interface would show everything whereas a lcd screen would only display some of the text data, possibly images if it is colour, and only have some of the settings. I don't have much idea on how this could be integrated as i don't know the internals of MediaPotal at all. But some sort of event system could be used as already discussed here. [u]Upnp[/u] :arrow: To use this properly some of the ways MediaPortal is designed would have to be changed, so it is a media server to itself , then sends music to itself to play based on what’s in its media server :shock: Some more food for thought :wink: Dan (might describe what upnp is at some point for everyone since some people seem sort of confused with what exactly it is...)
