Hey guys, I’m a german software developer and I love Plex. Now, I’ve decided to develop a new plugin, but I want to write a plugin, which people need/want. Got any ideas? Ouh, and sorry for my bad english… 🙂 ---

[MTV.de](http://MTV.de) wäre Klasse! Ansonsten wäre ich vor allem für ein funktionierendes Plug-In der ZDF oder ARD Mediathek oder auch für Sat.1/Pro 7. @rnio: Weder CT noch RTL funktionieren bei mir in letzter Zeit. CT buffert sich zu tode und bei RTL öffnet sich das Plug-In erst gar nicht. Eine Idee woran das liegen könnte? ---

**Vorschlag:** Ein generelles Plug-in für die Auswahl von Streaming TV (Windows Media, Flash, Vimeo, UStream,Zaplive TV u.a.) und Video on Demand (YouTube u.a.). Es sollte Rubriken wie “Deutsch” “Englisch” und Unterrubriken wie “Live TV” “Event TV” “TV on Demand” haben. Der Content Manager sollte es mit einem Namen und einer Kachel z.B. “MeiDingsbumsTV” benennen können und verteilen. Auf dem Server des Content Managers werden die Bilder, Beschreibungen und URLS zu den Original Streaming oder OnDemand Locations hinterlegt werden. Andere Textdienste wie RSS feeds anzeigen oder ein elektronischer Programmführer könnten eingebaut werden. Der Content Manager wärst Du, ich oder jeder andere, der der Welt etwas zu sagen hätte. Der erste Interessent wäre ich 😉 Ich habe noch mehr Ideen dazu, bin aber leider kein Programmierer wie Du. Vielen Dank für Deine Arbeit. — To the address of the English speakers: **Suggestion:** A generic plug-in to choose streaming TV (Windows Media, Flash, Vimeo, UStream, Zaplive TV to name a few) and video on demand (YouTube and others). It should contain categories such as “German” “English” and sub-categories such as “Live TV” “Event TV” “TV on Demand”. The content manager should be able to give it a name and a tile such as “MyThingummyTV” and distribute it. On the server of the content manager, there would be the pictures, descriptions and URLS to the original streaming or on demand locations. Other text services like displaying RSS files or Electronic Programming Guide could be included. The content manager would be you, me or anybody else who’s got something to tell to the world. First interested person would be me 😉 I’ve got more ideas about it, unfortunately I’m not a programmer like you. Many thanks for your work. ---

Hi in general, you can take every german tv station, which has an own ‘mediathek’ (like ARD, ZDF, ProSieben, Vox, RTL, …). A plugin for DVD support is not the kind of plugin, which the Plex Plugin Framework was made for. This framework is for sources, where you have structured data (like HTML) which can be presented as lists to a user (incl. some additional data) - a ORF Plugin already exists, but I don’t know if it’s still working (see [http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Unsupported\_plugins](http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Unsupported_plugins)) - ARD Plugin is currently developed by canbuffi an me, see ( [http://github.com/canbuffi/plex-plugin-ardmediathek](http://github.com/canbuffi/plex-plugin-ardmediathek) and [http://github.com/barclay-reg/plex-plugin-ardmediathek](http://github.com/barclay-reg/plex-plugin-ardmediathek)) - the general plugin for streaming TV is Plex itself. the most work will be to fill the content manager, most existing plugins are grepping the HTML versions of a tv station and collect all \*.flv or \*mov files linked on this sites - @nrio do you have the code for c’t or RTL somewhere hosted (like on github), maybe I can help I you need any starter advices, you can also contact me cheers Robert ---

If you are still interested in developing a plugin for Plex that anyone needs why not programming a scanner that looks for German movies and TV-Series on [IMDB.de](http://IMDB.de), [OFDB.de](http://OFDB.de) and other sources for german plots and posters. This would be a plugin that ANY German user will use. If you or anyone else can find the time - Thanks ---

I am Austrian as well, but live in San Francisco the last 10 years. I actually started an ORF TVThek plugin last year, that still works [mostly]. You can get it from [here](http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/ORF\_tvthek). There is a lot(!!) of room for improvement as these were my first steps with Plex plugin development and I might start working on it again, especially if you guys are interested. In this case we might want to take further discussion off to another topic (in the German speaking forum) ... Sorry SweeD for hi-jacking your post! D'Ehre, alex ---
