Hi,
I just digged around a bit in iTunes SDK and MediaPortal sources... and I would like to try to implement the following as PlugIn:
I have iTunes (for synch my iPod and for buying music), and I have MediaPortal. I wish to hear music with MediaPortal.
Therefore I want to have all music, playlists and metadata from iTunes in MP, too.
There is a SDK for iTunes, which seems to be simple to understand. With this it is possible to access all playlist and music data stored in iTunes.
So the missing link is only a small PlugIn for MP which reads that data from iTunes and stores it in the MP music database.
I'm an experienced Java developer and have knowledge in several other languages, too, but not in C# - yet. But C# seems to be something like Java, so should not be a problem to learn.
I've already set a C# development environment based on Eclipse and got the MP sources via CVS... but now I'm lost a little bit... there is really much stuff, and it's not clear to me how to start with a plugin... but I will continue to dig around...
So this posting is mainly to inform you that I'm about to start such plugin
