[QUOTE="overture, post: 96699, member: 17689"] No, I didn't get your IM. Could you resend it? In the meantime I'll explain what I meant by my plugin architecture. Generally, there seems to be a lot of sites providing IP TV. If we limit ourselves, and implement this plugin based on one site then we limit the amount of channels that can be retrieved (unless we write another plugin - which obviously means we're back to square one with the segregated data issue). So what I propose is that a core IP TV 'host' plugin is created. This will contain the relevant code to discover other 'mini-plugin' DLL's at runtime via reflection. This means that a mini-plugin can be created for each site out there. These will implement a specific interface (which we will need to define) so that all the data provided by the mini plugins is presented to the host application in a standard way. The structure would be:- Core IP TV Host DLL Plugin | | \/ Mini Plugin Interface /\ | |___viewtv.co.uk mini plugin DLL | | |___wwitv.com mini plugin DLL | | |___worldwidemediaproject.com mini plugin DLL . . . Then all we have to worry about is any duplicate channels and how the data is presented to the user. I hope this makes sense. Let me know what you think. Talk Soon. Phil ps. January would probably suit me best. [/QUOTE]
