Hey guys
Noticed that Dev.plexapp.com is gone, that ever coming back? Is there some Wiki? that would be a very helpful addition.
I read the API/Framework PDFs which help a bit, but still feel like there are a lot of gaps, how current are those? Also saw the google doc, its too random to be of help right now though, but it will be a helpful resource once i get writing code.
Are there any other resources im missing?
Ok now for the actual app question.
I recently got the HDHomeRun Prime and found the plugin for it, which plays well. Also there is the zap2xml which is neat, but I feel like this should be all one steamless app, not to mention the setup for it is horrible. After reading the API/Framework docs im a little confused as to how this should be created.
I saw things like URL services within channels and then, agents, so, for creating the guide portion of it, what is the correct way to approach this. Really all I need is the key words so that I can look up in the docs how to use the correct parts. meaning, should I create an Agent plugin that handles the query/parsing of the tv guide data, and use the DATA api to store that info, and then create (modify) the HDHomeRunner app to pull from the DATA api to show whats playing, rather than just what channel it is.
Also, based on the object types Im not really sure there is a good way to show a TV guide like app within the UI since its all based off a media item. Suggestions on how to show the next 6 hours of shows would be great, I guess ideally i’d like to mimic what the cable company does.
Is there something I could do with a Skin to make it a little better?
Your suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
