Plugin IDs (1 Viewer)

[Unregistered]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm getting frustrated with this.

I need the plugin IDs for all my plugins to set up my basic home screen. I keep reading in these forums that all I have to do is edit the xml file for the plugin, and the plugin ID will be at the top of the file. BUT ITS NOT. I've opened all the xml files, and none of them contain a plugin ID. What am I missing??

Please help,
~Ian

Hi Ian

I could be wrong, but I think you need value of the <id></id> sub-element within the <window></window> element. For example, from the video skin file (myvideo.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
  [B]<id>6</id>[/B]
  <defaultcontrol>2</defaultcontrol>
  <allowoverlay>[facadeview.filmstrip|facadeview.coverflow]</allowoverlay>
  <define>#useSelectedFanart:Yes</define>
  ...
</window>

The video plugin ID would be 6.

and some of the id's are documented here:
Window IDs - MediaPortal Wiki
and here:
Window IDs - Plugins - MediaPortal Wiki

but not sure how up to date it is
