Anyone have any thoughts on making a plugin for this?
Hi All,
Spanish Television, TVE, has a web-based service not unlike the BBC iPlayer. The great thing about it is that it isn't limited to being viewed by IP's in Spain. Is there anyone out there who might be working on a Plex plugin for this?
If not how does one go about making one? I am quite computer literate and provide Mac tech support for a living, but don't have specific programming experience. Would this be something way out of my depth, or would it be something I probably could tackle with a bit of help from the Plex community?
Thanks,
Tom
PS- Being a Spaniard living in England with my first son about to be born any day now, I'd love to get him watching Spanish cartoons and this is why I'm keen to see what can be done.
plugins are written in python and really easy to get started with even with no coding experience. it only took me a couple weeks to pick up enough python, xpath, xml, etc. to hack together my first plugin. the best thing to do is to look at the code of a bunch of existing plugins to get an idea of how they work. (the plugins are bundles, just right-click>>show package contents, to see what’s inside, the main body of the python code is in plugin.bundle/code/init.py), some are more abstracted and obfuscated than others though, so dont give up if you see one you cant wrap your brain around. if you want to see the code for the framework itself, its all in the framework.bundle in ~/application support/plex media server/pugins/ with all the rest of your installed plugins.
