After tinkering and getting my system working, I have started to take a look into creating a plugin .... I'm actually trying to get the ShowTimes plugin that knubile created a while back working with the most recent version of MP.

So my question is how do I get a plugin ID that won't conflict with anyone else's? (Does someone assign them).

Secondly, I've got the code that knubile created, and he had a plugin ID of 3010. If I use that and compile the code, it ends up in the Windows Plugins (as it should be). If I changed the ID to say, 6000, then it appears under the Process ID. What determines that the plugin is a Window or Process plugin (all I changed was one line int he code and the configuration sees it as a process plugin rather than a windows plugin).

Now onto the strings.xml, once I have my Plugin ID, then can I add to the strings.xml as I require?

Thanks!
