First I would like to thank everyone here for all the help you have been. I have just completed (at least the first part) my first plugin for Vista MCE using MCML and I couldn't have done it without all the helpful posts and suggestions on this site.
The plugin is located at http://www.codeplex.com/mcemediamanager. My intention for this plugin was to keep track of media that you are gathering or want to gather or have gathered. The first version is just basically a uTorrent plugin. You can view the items you are downloading/seeding and there is an all view. You can also add torrents via a search page. The search just searches tvrss.net.
I was also hoping for this to be a learning project for new developers to see how to do some of the stuff in MCML using a look like the standard Media Center UI. I don't know if I am doing some of the stuff right but at least it gives developers a starting point. I also used the MCMLLookalike project in my project. Hopefully that is ok. That was a huge resource to get started and see how things work.
Thanks again.
