Dear all,
Hi Danny.
I have developed a plug-in that is able to parse the uitzendinggemist.nl
website (Dutch website to view public funded television broadcasts). It
is almost done (need to fix some small bugs), but I have three questions
related to Elisa.
1) What is the best way to add a icon for the plug-in? It seems that for
example the YouTube icon is in the theme. But, a plug-in should contain
the icon itself, in my opinion.
We have a ticket about that: https://code.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/ticket/521
2) Is it possible to show extra information, except the name of a media
item. In my example, I have broadcasts that have the same name, but are
quite different because of different days or weeks they are created. To
show the date, the contents of a program - or the rating could be quite
valuable in this case.
We are currently reworking elisa-core to enable UI Extensibility. With
this you could ship your own UI or changes to the UI for a certain
plugin. See the changes on launchpad for more informations [1].
3) On the website, there is no image available for each broadcast. A
solution for this problem could be to put the name of the program in
Google Images, and use the first, large enough image for the media item.
I've tested this, and it works quite nice; but I need to write a plug-in
for this. Could this be a feasible solution, maybe as well for other
cases?
You mean you want to get some metadata (in this case a thumbnail) for
your data? Well a metadata provider would be the solution is current
trunk, but as we are reworking the core you might want to help us with
this use case there.
Thanks for the answers,
Regards,
Danny
