Hello, I'm new to the forum although a longtime MP user and would like to take a more active role in the MP community.

I am trying to develop a plugin that is basically rewriting an existing open source project that accesses a popular music streaming site as a MP plugin. I'm new to developing plugins for MP, so I'm a bit confused. Please tell me if there's somewhere else I need to put this request.

My question:

I have a C# class that inherits from GUIWindow, ISetupForm, like so

[CODE]public class MyPlugin : GUIWindow, ISetupForm[/CODE]

I've overridden init ie:
[CODE]public override bool Init()
{
return Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\myplugin.xml");
}[/CODE]

and several other methods but don't want to clutter this post. The constructor of my class has no code in it.
When I try to use my plugin from mediaportal it looks like it's "going into" the plugin and then immediately goes out to the menu.
I can paste more source code if anyone needs but I'm sure I am missing a method or something...
I'm new to this, so go easy on me this time
