In 1.5.x no. In cvs you can. You would choose a plugin with menu items and register a callback to the notifier. > QUESTION: How can I re-use code between plugins and helpers?

One is to import helper.foo in your plugin, the second the other way around. Bot isn't that nice. Maybe move some code into the util directory if it is needed more than once. > Shutdown via Freevo: > ------------------- > Something that struck me lately is that after being logged into my Freevo > maching remotely and maintaining the Gentoo system, I issued "halt"... which > was stupid because the next two recordings on the following days were not > executed because the nvram-wakup call happens in shutdown.py. :-( > I have two options in my mind: > - Let the recordserver to the nvram-wakup programming.

Maybe an option for both? I use the pc not only for Freevo, sometimes Freevo + recordserver are running but I'm also doing something else. > I would be glad if you could answer my Freevo-architecture-related > questions; also I'd be interested how much of this code can be > re-used (/has to be redone) for Freevo 2? I don't know about the cirrent status of the plugin, but maybe you could write it for 2.0 (cvs)? The core is much more powerfull now. Dischi -- Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong.
