[QUOTE="armandp, post: 424197, member: 71896"] i strongly disagree... i think a specialized plugin is always a better choice (if available) and a plugin that plays all content will have to sacrifice in one way or another to be generic enough.. or if it want to support every bit of extra information associated with different providers it will eventually become a maintenance hog (with different branches of logic added for specific sources). I think the aim for OnlineVideos is/should be that of a generic online video player, and My Trailers is about playing Trailers for Movies/Games (Movie/Game oriented, and not video oriented). The framework i'm working on (that will be used by My Trailers) however would be a good candidate to join forces with OnlineVideos but when the time comes i will open up a thread in OnlineVideos about that. In short it will be about video browsing/retrieval that will use a scraper engine to add new sources (RSS/Podcasts and HTML scraping). Adding a new video source would not need a code change but an XML script (like the dataproviders use in Moving Pictures). Then again.. time is money... and i'm broke :P [/QUOTE]
