You don't actually need that as a base, it's probably easier to write it yourself from scratch. Podcasts are really plain xml with links to mp3 files.

You just hast to create a parser for the files and download the files that are new.

Been planning on doing a plugin like this but I have had too much at work lately.

    You may want to chat with some of the developers on IRC to find out if anyone they know of is working on a similar plugin so you don't get caught (at least to the best that they know of) in that situation.

    In addition I would post that you are working on such a plugin on this area and make a new topic and announce what you are doing. I would place in your post that you are pre-announcing because you were working on a previous plugin and found out that someone - blah, blah, blah... (hope you get my point without my going on and on).

    I think we are all bringing up an interesting point here. As more and more people get on board to develop self contained projects, there is going to be a lot of overlap.

    Person A said its on their to-do list.
    Person B said they would like to help.
    Person C said they were planning on doing it.

    There has got to be a better way of organising people so we are not all doing the same thing each time. I know the rule is to go on IRC and get hold of people....but ive logged on twice and not managed to get anyones attention (not a gripe...just a fact of life).

    End rant :)

    No problem for me, just want the functionality. ;)

    Of course, I think it's not difficult, add fields to the database, and then change everything in the user interface for the rating, and not break anything. I don't have time for this yet, maybe it will appear after the 25th, but that's not certain.

    Hi This is a general question about OnX. I have been using the TvWishList plugin for a while and have recently updated (update install) from MP 1.36 x86 to 1.37 x86 and found there seemed to be no Onx menu in the TV guide. I then configured the onx.presets.xml file like I would normally do with updates or fresh installs, but still...
