Miglia Technology AlchemyTV - Manual (Page 45)

Introduction
AlchemyTV DVR 2.1 and higher supports an open plug-in architecture that enables software
developers to create enhancement modules.
The application ships with several built-in plug-ins. Further enhancements are provided by third party
plug-ins that are usually free of charge and that can be downloaded from Miglia’s website:

I. AlchemyTV DVR SDK
A Software Development Kit (SDK) has been made available on Miglia’s website. This SDK facilitates
the creation of post-processing plug-ins, eg. plug-ins that will modify a file once it has been
downloaded.
More information on the SDK is available on Miglia’s website:

II. Installing Third-party plug-ins
Before installing a plug-in, make sure that AlchemyTV DVR is not running.
2.1 Plug-ins with installers
Some plug-ins have installers, that work just like any other software installation program. You may
be asked to enter your administrator password during the installation process.
2.2 Plug-ins without installers
If a plug-in does not have an installer, you will have to proceed to a manual installation.
Control-click on the AlchemyTV DVR application and select ‘Show package contents”.
Navigate to Contents > PlugIns and drop the plug-in in the folder. Then restart AlchemyTV DVR.
