[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 360744, member: 11220"] It was relatively simple in that just used a URL (maid.meedio.com IIRC) and that had two different aspects. One was a web page for browsing plugins and the other was an interface to the plugins that would download the files (just using simple HTTP commands). The actual installers are like the MP installers (I think as I have not actually used one...) in that they were a file (.mpp) and double clicking would install. Meedios now house the Meedio plugins ([url=http://www.meedios.com/OpenMAID/]MeediOS | Bringing Media to Life[/url]) with a little hack to your hosts file. Their interface is not quite as polished as the Meedio one but it does the same job. What is it you are actually after?? The tricky but about implementing a repository that you can access via the MP client is more on the C# side than the web side. The more important thing I think is structuring how MPI should work first then build it second. You need to be able to give each plugin a unique ID. you need to maintain details of the plugin etc. I am no genius at web-design and do not have much time but if I had some specifics of what was actually required I could see how much development was actually required.
