old definition or terms?
In the source code of many plug-in bundles or examples,  
I saw MediaContainer, MessageContainer and WebVideoItem  
But the three are not mentioned or explained in the newest Plex Document.  
  
If they are obsolete ones, what are their replacements?  
  
If not obsolete, then any wiki or document to show usages?  
Thanks

Hi!  
Yes, those are the old pre-v2.1 framework names.  
  
MediaContainer -\> ObjectContainer  
WebVideoItem -\> WebVideoURL  
MessageContainer -\> return ObjectContainer(header='The title', message='Your message')
