Fresh from the Forums: Exciting plugin development

MediaPortal really is a great software. Even after using it for five years, I still discover new features. Combined with the fact that new features are constantly being added, I'm quite certain that MediaPortal offers one of the most feature rich media centers around.

Even so, we all want the old lady to do much more. This is where the strength and diversity of the MediaPortal community is displayed. This blog aims to present some of the less known, but exciting new plugins which really teach the old lady some new tricks.

Before we start, please note that several of the plugins described are still in development. Keep this in mind if you give 'em a spin. If you do,  and you discover a bug, I'm pretty sure the developer will be very happy if you provide a decent bug report.

Without further ado - here are some hidden gems from our Forums which just might revolutionize your usage of MediaPortal in the near future:

What? Did I forget a plugin? Of course I did! There are so many exciting plugins being developed, that not only is it hard to pick some for this article - it is also hard to keep track of everything! Luckily, these blogs are connected to the forum, so that everyone can post plugins that also should have been included in this blog.

Support MediaPortal!

The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
