Many occurences of one plugin (1 Viewer)

[zebons]

Many users ask if it's possible to have multi occurences of my plugin MyFilms (they have many AMT XML videos databases).
I try to put another copy of my dll in the directory mediaportal\plugin\windows and I got effectivly two entries in the MP's menu for my plugin...
My qustion : is there anyway to know which occurence of the plugin was called by the user ? Can I get the name of the dll called by MP when the user select a specific entry in the menu ?
Another possibility : in MyFilms's setup we can change the MP's Menu text for that plugin; so can I get that value in the plugin ?

Can I get the name of the dll called by MP when the user select a specific entry in the menu ?

No idea ? How to get the dll's filename into a plugin ?

I am not sure I understand what you are looking for but..

How to get the dll's filename into a plugin ?

Calling from within your plugin:
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

MyFilms's setup we can change the MP's Menu text for that plugin; so can I get that value in the plugin ?

If you can already change the name within the setup then I do not understand why you cannot access it within your plugin the same way.
