What is a Media Plug-In
From LinuxMCE
Media Plug-Ins are DCE Devices, which are loaded into the DCE Router memory space. They execute on the CORE. This is important, because the Media Plugins are responsible for:
- Creating and Managing Media Streams
- Sending Commands to Media Players to start, stop, and move media.
- Pairing the Media Players to their appropriate entertainment areas and therefore telling the parent Media Plugin what devices to send media commands to.
