ShowshifterGroup - RasterBurn Plugins and Extras
This collection of plugins and extras is my contribution to the Showshifter community.  Showshifter has proven to be the most reliable HTPC system I have used to date, and I have tried quite a few different systems!  It still has a way to go to get the same quality of user interface given by Windows Media Centre 2005, but it certainly seems to work a lot more reliably!  The new user interface is certainly a step in the right direction!

 

CharityWare - All of my plugins are provided completely free, but if you make use of any of these plugins, and would like to show your appreciation please consider donating to Cancer Research.  You can donate online at:

Cancer Research UK- Donate online

If you have made a donation please send me an email at raster_burn@fsmail.net (Use the subject "Donation"), and I will add you to the thank-you list.  Please specify if you don't wish the donation amount to be shown.

Coming Soon

  • Neat install routines for all plugins, no need to copy files to the right location or register DLL's its all done for you!  Also provides online update capability so you can keep your plugins uptodate!

Developers:

Any developpers fancy helping with a VOIP Skype plugin ?  If so email me at raster_burn@fsmail.net .  The Skype interface looks quite easy to use, but there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome.

 

IRC Chatroom:

I have created a showshifter IRC chatroom available at irc.freenode.net called #showshifter. 

 

Email Plugin

The Email plugin allows you to read your email from within Showshifter.

The plugin is capable of receiving email from any POP3 server.

Known Issues (Fixes coming soon)

  • Old interface style
  • Display of some emails doesn't look correct

Extras: I've stopped working on bug fixes for this version of the Email module, and gone with a whole new version!  The new version will include:

  • Password/PIN protection against email access (optional)
  • Pop up to inform of new incoming emails (optional)
  • Ability to read HTML emails, and better displaying of emails
  • Automagically downloads emails at a set interval (optional)
