Overview

MediaPortal 2 provides access to with distributed resources. Local resources are defined  by a ResourcePath. To access distributed resources, two services play hand in hand:

• IResourceInformationService: Interface of the UPnP service to provide resource information for the system which implements that service
• IRemoteResourceInformationService: Interface of the core service which is available in server and client. That service manages the IResourceInformationService instances for several remote systems and provides a simple API to gather information about resources on arbitrary systems.

Both services provide methods to get access to resource information which is basically provided by file system resource providers. With the IRemoteResourceInformationService, you can basically write a file system browser for arbitrary remote systems which are connected to the current MP2 system.

For a complete overview of functionality, see the interface sourcecode documentations.
