[QUOTE="TheVideoViking, post: 24401, member: 10525"] I'm in the process of trying to learn c# and got the idea of creating a plugin/app for MP which can install plugins. I've got the idea from Thunderbird/Firefox plugins, and I think that the same way of installing plugins could make it easier for people to add content and functionality to MP. Like the .xpi files of mozilla, MP would use .mpi files. So, is this a good idea? Would you publish your plugins in this way? If nobody would, it would be just a waste of time. I've got a little demo here: [url]http://rapidshare.de/files/7143133/MP_plugin_install_app.zip.html[/url] There's an .exe and a .mpi file. If you run it you can (after a preview) add the club977 internet radio station to your database. The paths are hardcoded (for now), so it will work if MP is installed in de right dir. There are also no checks whether info already exists (yet) or other safeguards, and a idnumber is hard coded, so if you decide to hit the "Install" button it might be wise to backup your radio database (not to forget that I still very much suck at c# :D). I've hadnâ€™t had any trouble though. [/QUOTE]
