[QUOTE="jmhecker, post: 540419, member: 86959"] This will support music playback, as well as video playback and picture viewing, although I do not plan on having it access the current MyMusic database. (not as of yet anyway..perhaps in a future release). The reason I am not wanting to go that route as of right now is because it defeats the purpose of the plugin. It is meant to be the 'holding place' for everything that MP does not currently support. (IE: family videos, news clips, sporting events, etc). Rather than specialize the plugin to support a specific thing, I am generalizing it to support, well, anything you want to throw at it (picture, video, and audio wise). As for having multiple instances of this plugin, I am thinking no. But, I am circumventing that problem with the ability to add as many categories (and subcategories) as you want. IE: [CODE] Family \_ Kids \_ Daughter \_ Chorus Concert \_ Son \_ Pee Wee Football Games \_ Tryouts \_ Games \_ Wife \_ Extended Family \_ Uncle Buck \_ Grandpa \_ Grandma Sports \_ Baseball \_ Games \_ Player Interviews \_ Football News \_ Huricane Katrina \_ Video Clips \_ Pictures [/CODE] Each category can contain any combination of Video, Picture, and Audio Files. So, rather than having to load this plugin multiple times (which I dont even know could be done without recompiling the plugin with an different ID each time), you can have the one instance of it handle everything. Now, this could pose problems if perhaps you don't want your children seeing some of the pictures or movies that you have stored, so I will be implementing a 4 digit pin code system as well. You will be able to lock each category and/or subcategory with a pin code if you desire. Each category/subcategory can have its own pin code that is unique. [/QUOTE]
