Official Showtime v3.1.126 - Real Plugin Support Added

[tthousand]

Developer behind the wonderful homebrew application Showtime, Andreas Öman is back from his vacation, and bringing us some new updates to this Home Theater System. With the release of Showtime v3.1.126, included is the new online plugin repository, and several new languages translated. Yesterday, we reported that he has created Intructions for Translating Showtime into Other Languages. Today, he brings us "real" plugins, which means plugins that can be loaded and installed from an online repository. He has already released documentation to get third party developers started on making their own plugins.

Starting from 3.1.126 Showtime now support "real" plugins.
By "real" plugins I mean plugins that can be loaded and installed from an online repository.
This allows third party plugin developers to rapidly develop plugins and make them available to the general public.
It's also possible to copy a plugin (which is just a .zip-file) onto a filesystem that Showtime can access and then just install the plugin from Showtime itself.
I've also started to write some documentation for how to develop plugins.

This release contains the new online plugin repository. Still there are no other plugins that previously available but we will hopefully see some new plugins coming in shortly.
On top of this the new release also includes translations of Showtime to:

• German
• Italian
• Dutch
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Spanish
• Swedish

As usual Showtime available for download here
Have fun!
