File system plugin (1 Viewer)

[ChristianW]

Will MP ever support filesystem-plugins? The same style as XBMC?

This would ease the development of source-plugins like youtube, metacafe, nrk etc.

Hei Christian
You mean like a file browser and executer?

Anyway: Since MP(1) is in a feature freeze ATM, this (whatever it might be) will not be "officially" implemented in a while.

Yuo could however see: MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - File Explorer (updated for 0.2.3)

No. I mean a system where we don't have to write all the display-code in the plugin, the plugin just appears as a videosource. But I havent played with MP in a while so I'm not sure how video browsing and such works.

In XBMC you can create say a YouTube plugin. You don't have to write any gui-code, only a file-system "simulator". Sort of like FUSE in Linux for those of you that know it.

MP1 will most probably not undergo any major changes (maybe non) - but perhaps for MP2.

don't know if it is what you want but I'm currently writing a plugin (almost finished) for handling web streams. it is designed so it includes external xml files. So that plugin-dev. only has to make the appropriate parser (and dump the xml in a given folder) and not have to worry about how it is displayed.

xml format is roughly given in (added seasons tags and other meta info as genre and language)

it is at he moment however aimed at tv-shows but it could be fairly easily extended to a more generic xml structure
