Make Plumi compatible with Miro player search bar

[andycat]

text from http://lists.transmission.cc/pipermail/transmission-discuss/2007-October/000858.html

I have added to the search bar functionality on Miro - ie added EngageMedia and IFIWatch.tv (see the screenshot - http://andycat.engagemedia.org/em-miro.png )

To add to this search bar you need to construct a simple XML file describing how to get the search result as RSS2 with enclosures (see below)

Two problems to get this to really work ;)

1. For video downloading to work properly in Miro , the search RSS neeed to have working enclosures - something which isnt present in the 'out of the box' Plone - so the for instance, the EM example below gets results - but cant see the thumbnails , or download the video -

This does work for Miro, using EM, if you manually add the RSS2 link for the site (and yes yes , also only if the site is running fast that day sigh)

Similarly for the drupal system that ifiwatch.tv is using.

2. atm, these files need to be added in the system - and Miro restarted - for you to replicate this on a standard miro install. On linux, using debian, the file path is : /usr/share/miro/resources/searchengines

For other systems, i have no idea, but probably something very similar. instance_location/resources/searchengines/

Basically, for real users to use this - we would need to get these files accepted into the upstream Miro distrobution - or build our own binary installers, for all platforms - and offer that for download on transmission.cc site.
