[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 650828, member: 76888"] [b]Re: Kiwi Development team[/b] If we are doing a gig guide then a process plugin is only needed if we want the information available on the home screen like how in streamedmp you can see the weather/rss/twitter/latest tv episodes/latest mov pics movies on the basic home screen via the infoservice process plugin. However because the gig guide is likely to be intitially only an NZ plugin, we are unlikely to get basic home support from the popular skins that use a basic home editor. Therefore maybe only a window plugin is needed at this stage. However we might want to actually do both (process + window) so that in the future if we move to include other gig guides from other countries, then we don't need a big re-write if in the future the popular skins decide to implement the feature into the home screen. The other alternative is just to do a windows plugin, but have a database that can easily be accessed by a process plugin in the future (eg. our own, or infoservice plugin). Infoservice would probably be the better option of the two, but I think the infoservice plugin author would only consider it if the gig guide was popular and supported a large user base. eg.
