Plugin

This page is to describe how to make your own *COMMANDS*(scripts) *(note, should try to be consistent with naming. Plugin, Commands, Scripts are all used to point to the same thing here.)

Plugins consist of three files, a plugin.info(See #1) file, an actions.dic(See #2) file and an executable(See #3).

1/ The following is an example of a plugin.info:

• name = TotemPlugin (Any spaces will be removed, Music Launcher will be installed as MusicLauncher)
• version = 1.0 (This line must be either an interger (1, 6, 10) or a float (1.1, 2.4, 4.2))
• file = totem (The name of the file that will be called. If your plugin doesn't need a file enter NONE)
• description = Control Totem Media Player (This is the description that will be displayed to the user before installation)
• author = Brett Mayson (The creator of the Plugin)
• actions = (Actions the plugin adds)(note: need better description for this)
• dependencies = totem (This is an optional line. If added the user will be notified of any programs they need)
• play video,plays the loaded video ("play video" is what the user says, "plays the loaded video" is what the plugin will do)
• pause video,pauses the video if it is playing
• next video,plays the next video in the playlist
• previous video,plays the previous video in the playlist

2/ The following is an example of all the code that goes into the actions.dic file.

<p,P>lay <v,V>ideo

totem '--play'

<pause,POS> <v,V>ideo

totem '--pause'

<n,N>ext <v,V>ideo

totem '--next'

<p,P>revious <v,V>ideo

totem '--previous'

3/ Executable. This will be the file/binary to be run. In this example, it is "totem".

After this you should have three files:

• plugin.info
• actons.dic
• And the executable (In our example this would be totem)

You can now compress them into a .tar.gz file and rename the extension to .sp

Leaving us with something like totem.sp You can see this plugin in the Example Plugins directory
