[QUOTE="revs, post: 300305, member: 42810"] This is a plugin for all those times when people ask "is there anything on tonight?" / "What shall we watch?" I was going to create this plugin myself, but I doubt I'll have the time - So instead of leaving it, I thought i'd see if anyone else wanted to take up the challenge. Basically its a plugin that just lists all the films showing "Today" or "Tonight". Tonight being a user configurable time period. [LIST] [*]The plugin would query the Database and list all items today or tonght in the Genre "Film". [*]Multiples of the same version could be combined, and once selected it could show you which channels/times its on. [*]When selecting a film, it can act similarly to the TV EPG - either watch now if its currently on, or otherwise let you select to be alerted, or to record the program. [*]I can also imagine intergrating IMDB with this to get a better synopsys/review of the film [*]Once thats done you could bring in all the fancy stuff - FanArt/DVD Cover/Film poster etc [*]Getting carried away now, but a background process could grap IMDB and covers for everything, there would be loads of info available then - and you could select films by Movie Poster/DVD Cover... [/LIST] So - firstly - is anyone othe than me interested in this? Are there any devs that could develop this? If not then i'll try and find the time to do it myself! But if someone could point me in the direction of some sample code for accessing the MP database, that would be great! [/QUOTE]
