A Universal Playlist format Plugin for XBMC [REQ\IDEA]
#1
I've been thinking for quite a while now (heck I'm a slow person!) why not create a universal playlist format that a single plugin could use? I'm not sure there is one at the moment. So for example as a webmaster sites I make could have a rss feed and a XBMC feed. The XBMC feed contains elements such as

Quote:<showtitle>The Fake Clipshow</showtitle>
<showthumb>Show Thumbnail</showthumb>
<showwatchurl>http://whatever/as.wmv</showwatchurl>

Etc. Then it would also open up avenues in the regards to allowing anyone to knows some basic PHP skills to create 'addon' plugins. As I understand it I don't think (touch wood) it would be too hard to code the python side of the code, the top of the XBMCfeed could have header information such

Quote:[Searchurl]http://hostwebsite.com/search_xbmc.php?query=%S[/searchurl]

And the category system could work mostly the same with a header on the main feed something like
Quote:[Categorylist]http://hostwebsite.com/category_list.php[/categorylist]
[viewcatcontents]http://hostwebsite.com/viewprograms.php?category=GIVENCAT[/categorylist]

Of which that page would return something like
