Wish there was PIP for some the plug-ins

Wish I can have a small PIP window for SecurityCam, Weather, Calculator, Address Book and other plug-ins while watching LiveTV and/or any recording. So I don't have to leave what I'm watching just to check out the other plug-ins.

you can set them in <VideoPluginN> in the config.xml file, and then push 'n' GO to bring up that plugin while watching video/tv.

eg if i set weather as <VideoPlugin1>Weather</VideoPlugin1> and then hit "1" "Go" when watching tv, i would see the weather plugin ontop the video (you get the full interface, but you can see thru it).

ooh, great, I will try this. Thanks

Worked like a charm. Thanks, reven

How does the plug-in tell that it was called as a video plug-in? I'd like to have a mini-mode for the weather plug-in when it is popped up over video.

You need to implement an additional interface. Search for IVideoPlugin. There has been some discussion about it in the past.

Thanks. I recalled seeing the discussion, but could not recall the interface name.
