Title: How do I create a plugin?
Post by: Korre on October 29, 2011, 04:59:58 PM

I'm interested in creating my own MusicBee-plugin but I dont know where to start.
I've searched both the forum and Google but I haven't found any good info on the subject.

Is it even possible to create plugins for MusicBee with VB.net, it can create DLLs so it should work, right?
Is there any tutorial or any type of document that can point me in the right direction?  :)

the api is documented here - the links at the start of the first post include a template for VB.NET

and some examples here - the progress bar and advanced tags plugin are open source i think but the template from the API should be enough to get you started:

I think my license is BSD-like license, something like: "do all you want with all this at your own risk". :)
