[QUOTE="d-fader, post: 288316, member: 25116"] [b]Yeah! Finally there's a new version of your favorite searcher![/b] Pasted from the section 'Some words from the author': Well well, finally, after graduating (aced it of course, *cough*) I found some time to dive into this gem (at least for me it is ;)) again. I've finally added a configuration dialog which looks pretty neat if I may say so. You can select your input style in this dialog. The SMS-styled input can be improved somewhat, but hey, at least you can finally input your favorite artists in a 2.0 way :P For now, still no support for video files, but I promise I will dive into that soon! I hope you can wait just a little bit longer (to implement this, it takes some more time, since there need I need to create some new GUI screens). Last but not least, you can now add all results to the playlist with a single click in the context menu of the result list, thanks 'rsbrux' (who came with the idea)! Oh yeah, I've added an MPI installer for you lazy asses too, hope you like it :) Well, that's it for now, have fun and keep searching! ...honey, where's my beer!? [B][I]Please test this version, I want the bugs to be goners before I upload it as a real plugin :)[/I][/B] [B]GlobalSearch (version 0.1.5ß)[/B] This plugin (at the moment) allows you to search through your complete music library and provides functionality to control what you want to do with the search results. It was developed due to the frustration that up until now you can only search in the on-screen list of items (i.e. filter).

This is just a minor revision of the plug-in with an update to support the new database structure of the Music section in MediaPortal. First of all, thanks for all the feedback I've been getting from all of you guys and girls (?). I have written them down on some paper which is floating around somewhere in the universe :).

Oh yeah, there are some contacts about integrating the plug-in in the Music section, but that still has to be built, so please, hold on and for now: Search, play and swing! [B]June 8th, 2007[/B] Hi! Thanks for trying this new plug-in for MediaPortal. I'll try to write some words with every new release. This is my first Visual Studio project, so it was (and IS) quite a challenge to master the IDE :) I've made an abstract object model which makes it possible to search anything, although you can only search through your music library at the moment. I have taken into account that a multi-threaded search will be one of the future possibilities, so the object model is ready for that, although nothing thread-safe (critical sections, synchronization) is done yet. I would like to get some feedback on the plug-in so we can decide what's the next best step and on which part we should focus. Feel free to review the code, cause I hate bad designed code (though that's my specialty :)) Oh yeah, since there wasn't a multi-select dialog (I couldn't find it anyway), I 'hacked' my way around the DialogMenu to make a descendant that supports multi select lists (used when specifying search fields).
