Basic MythTV plugin configuration

Plugin support in MythTV is great, but a little rough around the edges to set up. Here is a quick setup HOWTO.

1. In the mythplugins project, select an existing plugin to clone, and copy the directory.
2. In the mythplugins project, update the configuration file to build your new plugin.
3. In the mythtv project, add a button to the XML ui to access your plugin.
4. Bang away on your new plugin!

1. I chose to clone mythmusic.

2. Here's what I needed to add to [mythplugins/configure]:

3. In my case, I added the following block to [mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/library.xml]:

  <button>
     <type>DJ_PLAY</type>
     <text>Start DJ</text>
     <action>JUMP Start DJ</action>
     <depends>mythmusic</depends>
     <depends>mythdj</depends>
  </button>

4. I'm doing it now!
