Hey All
I'm looking to add a new type of media source to the XBMC music player. I don't have a windows box so I can't get the xbox development environment, so I have to do it in Python if I do it at all. Can anyone point me in the direction of some howto's? I can't seem to find anything related to writing new sources in Python. I can do all the leg work in getting the list of artists/albums/songs/etc, I just need to know how I can register a new type of music source, and export the artists/albums/songs to the media player so it can add them to its library.
Can this be done at all? Am I way off here? If not, it seems this would be a really handy use for the python plugin framework. That way people could write custom scripts to do whatever they wanted depending on their home setup.
