There is a problem with the implementation of NON-GUI plugins. If you want to write a plug-in using VB.NET (as I was just starting), the "Stop" interface is a bit of a problem ...

Public Sub Stop() Implements Mediaportal.GUI.Library.IPlugin.Stop
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.MsgBox("Ben's plugin stopped.")
End Sub

Stop is a keyword in vb.net and the compiler throws an exception ("Keyword is not valid as an identifier"). Ends up that you can't implement the stop interface, which is required, and therefore can't write a plugin

Can we change it to "Finish" or "Cleanup"? Perhaps even make it optional?

BTW - you guys do great work.
