<title>Extension Howto</title>
<p>Streamtuner2 is written in Python, a rather easy programming language. And it's also rather simple
to write a new channel plugin.</p>
<p>The basic layout of every channel plugin is as follows:</p>
<p><code type="text/python">
from channels import *
class myplugin (ChannelPlugin):
title = "MyNewChannel"
module = "myplugin"

<p>There are some self-explanatory description fields, and two important methods. Sometimes you
don't need categories even. The update_streams() function often downloads a website, parses it
with regular expressions or PyQuery / DOM methods, and packs into into a result list.</p>
<p>Here entries is a list of dictionaries, with standardized entry names like "title" and "playing"
for the description, and "homepage" for a browsable link, and most importantly "url" for the
actual streaming link. Often you want to add a "genre" and "format" and "bitrate" info. But this depends
on your plugins data source, really.</p>
