OK, so been reading some of the information on how to code for PLEX plug-in … but a bit confused (MAC NEWBIE). Trying to contribute. Thinking on creating an entry into the Video plug-in titled “CBC News at Six” which once you select, you can choose which news broadcast you would like to stream (eg Toronto, Ottawa, etc). Based on samples I have been able to see on this site. Any good samples that folks might suggest? Not sure that this will do it, but willing to collaborate with any of the plug-in gurus.
