    Default Plugin creation

    Hi all,

    Congrads on Boxee. Great piece of software.

    I have a question, and would like to create a plugin proof of concept. But as I investigate and see examples, most (or all) plugins for XBMC/Boxee are in python.

    aTV doesn't have python by default... It does have perl. I also am well versed in perl.

    So can a plugin be done in perl? or must it be python?

    Also, where is the best place to see if I can find documentation for plugin creation?

    boxee has a python interpreter embedded in it's application bundle... that said, no you can not write a plugin in perl, only python, as python is actually part of the core application. (hulu, youtube, etc... all written in python.)

    now, for getting started see here: http://boxeehq.com/?p=25
    personal: boxee | twitter | boxee hq
    boxee: boxee chat | boxee wiki | boxee plugins

    i run boxee 0.9.20 on: ubuntu 9.10, windows xp sp3 (virtual machine), windows 7 and a neuros link hacked to all hell.

    what super powers does a 'super mod' have? the 'super ban'... that, and laser vision.
