Full Version: New Media Source implementation

Hi,

I am new here, so sorry if I don't post in the right place.

I would like to know if there is an extension point (or similar) that I can use to plug a new media source implementation.

Basically, I would like to use XBMC UI and navigation to browse a remote content server.
This content server will be remotely accessed via a webservice, so I need to plugin inside XBMC a client for this service.

=> Is there anything designed for that ?
=> Can you give me any pointer ?

NB : This is basically a re-post of the question I asked in 2010 (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1160272)

You want a plugin addon. It's done in python.
Hi,

Thanks for the answer.
I expected to be able to plug my server exactly as a File System, Samba or Upnp source.

I understand that I can do that inside a Python plugin, but unless I missed something, I will have to manage myself the browsing and navigation (i.e. redo the UI work).
=> I create a new small Application that is run inside XBMC but I don't plug a new content source at low level

Anyway, I'll have a look at the Python plugin system.
