	Plugins, unlike ~~[[HOW-TO:Write_Python_Scripts\|~~scripts]], do not generally provide new functionality to XBMC, instead they provide an easy way to present content listings in XBMC through the native GUI interface.

	Please feel free to add samples of simple plugin functions. Add anything at all no matter how basic, if it is not already here add it! Someone will more than likely benefit from it. Don't be stingy on the comments you can never have too much information, what's simple to you may make no sense at all to someone else. Any relevant URLs that were helpful to you Would be helpful as comments as well.		Please feel free to add samples of simple plugin functions.

	'''Note!''' As most plugins work by scraping a website they often stop working (partially or completely) when the source website changes (redesign). If a third-party plugin doesn't work it is not usually an XBMC problem.		'''Note!'''
