I've got it running for some part. I will create a google code repository later on which I will share, but I want to take a look at the next challenge. I'm afraid that I will have to start messing with the main PMS code: when the percentage a file has been viewed is known, then I want this percentage to be shown in the thumbnail and/or before/after the name of the file. For as far as I can see, the plugin system is not prepared for this...

Actually, then it can still go wrong. If for example you have watched a file for 80% and later on you start the file again and skip to 80% of the file and watch it to the end, the calculation will say you have watched it for 20%. In essence this is true, but not suitable for what I want.

That's right. My implementation is only meant to work if watching a file in one piece.

You can't modify the name of the files showing up by default (this would have to be changed in DLNAResource.getDisplayName), but you could add a AdditionalResourceFolderListener showing the files the way you want. This would avoid having to change the pms base code.

I have now edited DLNAMediaInfo.java so that the thumbnail shows the percentage. It is not ideal, but I really like the fact that I don't need additional virtual folders. I'm thinking about creating a patch that would allow plugins that can alter plugins and resource names. I will put everything in a google code project later, so others might have a look at it as well.

If anyone has any comments, please let me know. Please bear in mind that it is a work in progress though
