I would like to modify some parts of Plex if possible and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Some simple things i’d like to add:
Browse by Decade
Change the “Recently Added” value to something more than 25
Create a new Genre (I know it pulls this info from IMDB, so i figure i’d have to manually add this to an xml file, i just want the ability to sometimes only show my HD content), if there is a better way to separate HD content in movie view, feel free to mention your ideas.
I do have a bit of a programming background, i’d say im intermediate level. If anyone can direct me on where to start so i can make my own mods it would be appreciated. In the meantime i am going to read up on Git. Thanks!
Well since you seem to know about the Github (it looks like it's just a normal svn repository to me so no real need to read up on it) I'd take a look at [post="0"]XBMC's Dev page[/post]. Since Plex is a fork most of that stuff there should still apply. If you find any other info feel free to post it here, I might eventually roll up my sleeves and pull out some C myself.
In case your looking for other ideas implementing an alphanumeric jump bar similar to what's on ipod touches/i-phones and functions for skinners to call lists from other windows (say calling the tv episodes list from the home screen) are high up on my wish list.
Browse by decade is already supported in iTunes, where were you looking to add it?
The "Recently Added" value is an advanced setting which can be changed, for things in the video library ("videolibrary.recentcount") and the (deprecated) music library ("musiclibrary.recentcount").
Cheers :)
Everything i am curious about modding is all related to the Movies section. I will take a look at that stuff. Thanks!
