Plugin/Extension Support in amule
« on: May 17, 2007, 05:00:36 AM »
Is there any chance that amule will have plugin/extension support in the future?

Maybe I don't understand, but I think this should be a plugin to the browser, not aMule. And it works without plugin aswell.

I mean is there any chance to develop a plugin support framework inside amule so that geoip, extension icons, skins and themes could be installable as a plugin/extension.

Plugins would be awesome.

And scripting also (something like ruby, tcl, python).

But I think if you want a program extensible thought plugins / scripting you need to change the hole design. I am dreaming about network plugins which allow to download same file from different p2p networks.  8)

However, this is out of scope for sure. Anyway, better a good edk client then a buggy plugin based hybrid.

why don't you try to add these lines in about:config

network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k  boolean  True
network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k       string   /usr/bin/ed2k

(or /usr/local/bin/ed2k, check it)

and you got a handler for ed2k urls
