How do I create a plugin?

[pooface]

The script now has evolved into a button thats listed under the plugins. When clicked it downloads my latest bouquets/services from some personal webspace, replaces the current ones, tidies up after itself and reboots the box for the changes to take effect (ideally I'd like it so that it just restarts Enigma instead) but no luck with that so far.

Congrats in to getting the script finished

As for getting it to just restart enigma not the whole box, issue the following command:

killall -9 enigma2

You might get occurrences where the sound does not come with the picture, but if you just change channel, then it will come back...
