How can I myself make a (online video stream) plugin for XBMC? - cgsimons - 2009-01-07
Hi,
I'm looking to create a plugin similar to Hulu, for the Norwegian equivelent of BBC iplayer (nrk.no). Are there any tutorials or How to's, or other plugins that I can use as a starting point?
Will I need to create a scraper that locates the name, stream info, category etc for the stream service that I want to create the plugin for?
I have never used python before... so if someone can help then... please do...
I want the plugin to support Boxee as well, as I prefer that xbmc version.

Try the plugin creation tutorial in my signature.
Online version or downloadable, with source code.

A plugin... and why not a new source ?

Plugins act just as if they are a source, they just present listings, metadata, and thumbnails.
