Script to read IMDB-Details from Ember-NFO

[rkrause]

--> possible Solution with script content look in post #4

Hi,

i want to write a wdx plugins, to read infos from a file and i think it should be an "easy" projekt for a profi:)

Ok, what i want is following:

i got some movies (avi) with some nfos - both files (avi and info) has the same name! the nfo has the following struktur (xml with tags)

...
<genre>Thriller</genre>
<rating>6.1</rating>
...

my idea: show the imdb-rating from the avi.file (read from samecalled nfo file)

similar like shelldetails etc i want to select different tabs like "genre" and "rating" and want to select and show them in the customview-list (like shellexplorer).

i think, its very easy to realise (just search same name.nfo and read the tags) what i got no idea to write a wdx-plugin and the examples are quite difficult for me - just look some example and no idea how to compile or what things must be changed:(

Are you a programmer ?
If yes : read the content plugin guide!
If not, learn how to program a little, choose a programming language that allow creating dll ....

In medium stage, you can use script content plugin that give you a framework around content plugin.

normaly i should be able to programming - finally i learned pascal, vb, c++ and java in scool and study - but just copy the code mostly and manipulate a little bit.

My intend was, wanted to know if there is some sourcecode that i can "easily" use and manipulate a little

set f=nothing

'MsgBox content

is it possible to filter in custom-columns-view, like show only avi etc, because normaly in ALL tabs are filtered and i want just a filter in one of them?
