Provide a technical explanation of the Media Plugin, its purpose, and how to use it to extend and add additional media types to LinuxMCE.
Description
Media Plugin is a plug-in in the DCE Router that is responsible for media management in LinuxMCE. Extension plug-ins can register with it to provide control for media types that Media Plugin doesn't handle itself.

Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | The description of the stream. This is used by the Orbiter where the stream description is needed. As an example, watching TV on a STB that provides data about the current channel/program over a serial connection would update the description on your remote when the show changes or you change the channel. |
