MSP Plugin Competition - October 2009 WINNER Last time

[chris57]

Well guys its a sad moment for me as I announce the last winner of the Plugin competition.

Obviously you can still develop plugins and i hope that there will be other new competitions to come. There is a current competition for a free C200 run in conjunction with videosurf.com of course.

Anyway back On Topic and big congratulation go to Genius995 and his IMdB plugin which has been voted the winner of the last competion:-
http://msp.florisvanderploeg.com/imdb

An MSP interface to the Internet Movie Database (and others). Search for movies, actors or characters from your NMT.

Available via MSP Community>What New>IMdB. Subscribe it as one of your favourites via the Green button on your remote.

I can see this Plugin being very popular and also being used by other UserApps.

Other entries were:-
1. iIgnite
http://www.b-int.net/ignite
If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to

2. Earth-touch.com podcasts (Video Podcast)
http://plugin.mspsite.com/user/earth_touch
Sit down, relax, and watch the latest videos of Earth-touch.com (Wildlife, Moremi lions, Marine channel ...)

3. It's Showtime (Others)
http://plugin.mspsite.com/user/Its_Showtime
Locate all movie theaters near your location, lists all movies playing at those theaters, and their showtimes. Because even PopcornHour owners sometimes go to the theater!

Thanks to all of you for your hard work and the gracious behaviour shown in the run up. You are all winners in my book

[genius995]

Yay!!! My monday just got a lot better!
Can't wait to get it and see how my plugin actually looks on a NMT

Expect to see more plugins... now I actually can test my plugins before releasing them

[HeartWare]

If I may suggest a new plugin for you (or anyone else) to work on:

NASA TV.

I would love to be able to watch these on my TV...

Congratulations on the win...

Congrats genius995, you did a great job

[sTyLeS]

Yes, congratulations, genius995!
Of course, I'm a bit bummed not winning it myself...had big plans of putting it in my new home theater I'm building in my basement.
Hope you put it to good use!

Congrats, as a judge it got my vote.

Something very useable and useful on the NMT platform.

Well done.

[Mental]

Congrats mate, nice plugin
One downside though, it's terribly slow at the moment.

[wvn]

Congrats m8 for a job well done. The plugin is responsive enough on my nmt. Enjoy your new machine and keep it up.

[genius995]

Thanks guys

The plugin can be a bit slow at time, but that is caused by the hosting server. The plugin won't be very quick, because it uses screen scraping to interpret the search results.

@daniel_owen_uk: I owe you one

@HeartWare: will look in to it... I will keep you posted if I create such a plugin

@Styles: I can imagine you're bummed, I would be too if I didn't won. I'll put it to good use

[Mental]

Tried the nasa asx streams, they don't play on a C200 using a href="http://url.to/file.asx" vod

[HeartWare]

There are MP4 feeds as well, and if I download them, they play fine...

[genius995]

How about the Quicktime NASA TV feed: http://www.nasa.gov/qtl/151335main_NASA_TV_QT.qtl
Is this one supported?

There are also Real Media (RAM) feeds, but I think these aren't supported on a PCH, aren't they?

[chris57]

Ok guys before we start development here lets remember this thread is not for NasaTv

I'll split the NASA ones off or you can start your own thread if you like, let me know.

Ultimately this section may be archived as the competition is finished so the other MSP section would be the place.

[genius995]
