[QUOTE="Hesse, post: 75147, member: 23814"] I'm a longtime Meedio user as well. I actually still use it as my main frontend because I haven't gotten MP to the point where it has all the features that I had in Meedio. I'm working on plugins and some other things to help the transition. One of the things that is seriously lacking in MP is the flexibility in databases and modules for viewing information in those databases. To that end, I'm currently working on improving this functionality so that it matches Meedio in this regard. I'm trying to add a flexible "Views" structure similar to that in the Meedio databases. Then any module can read the views information in the database to know how to display the data. Once I get the saving/loading views in the database working, then the next step is to make a generic Media Module which can display the data. Some of you might be saying that MP already has views, and you're right but they really aren't flexible for an arbitrary database. What I'm trying to do is allow the user to set views for any database they choose so they aren't restricted to the predefined databases. I'm close to getting the saving/loading GUI working. If anyone is interested or wants to help, please let me know. I know I'm going to have trouble with the XML files. Its taken me a while to learn C# to do these plugins... Jesse [/QUOTE]
