I believe the feature evolved since the thread started, although the main idea is the same - for plugins you basically parse some data source of your choice, usually HTML, and then add items to the directory and depending on the media type, XBMC will know how to "play" it. It's much much easier to write plugins than scripts - I should know, I started both with little information and looked at other people's scripts/plugins, and wrote about 5 plugins in a month or so.
I would recommend looking at Nuka1195 plugins and from other people, and lastly, why not the ones in my signature. If you have specific questions you should probably start a new thread in the same forum and people will try to help you.
