Of course. The way you add an entry in music->internet or video->internet is through what we call a decorator, that you declare in the setup.py of your plugin. A decorator is a function that is called whenever a controller at a given controller path (for a given "menu") is created. You could easily declare in your plugin a decorator for music->internet and another one for video->internet (or possibly the same decorator for both). See for instance the youtube plugin for an example of decorator. After that, avoiding code duplication is a software design issue that is clearly not specific to Elisa. Depending on what you want to do, you could create a class implementing your controllers that would be used in both cases, but with different initialisation parameters, or you could have one class for each section, both inheriting from a common base class implementing the stuff that makes sense for both.
