[QUOTE="patrick, post: 54856, member: 12502"] [b]Re: Master Media Database implementation/design. Comments pl[/b] Since you asked, a few suggestions: :) --- Add Optional Media Location - Ex AFAIK Music Playlists are not stored in the music database but read from the specified location at run time, this way the media object would not "have" to be in a database. --- Add UI Plugin ID - IIRC Two Plugins can share the same name but not the same "ID" --- Media Label (and maybe label2 and label3) - Text string(s) so the user will know what it is This could help if you, for example, wanted to prompt/ask the user before actually causing the media to "play" you would not need to make a call to the music/video/etc plugin to do a db lookup just to get the labels. Not really sure what your question is for the associations UI and Input plugin so not musch help there. HTH, patrick [/QUOTE]
