rches in<br>
one service at a time?<br></blockquote><div>=C2=A0</div><div>right but that=
&#39;s going to change if we want generic queries :)<br>I should probably l=
oad all the available providers at the beginning in order to query them all=
 at each source request. <br>

That might make sense, though I wonder if a generic query wouldn&#39;t be m=
ore intuitive<br>
to the user (the developer in this case). I wouldn&#39;t care a lot which s=
ervice a video<br>
comes from, but on the other hand, it&#39;s easy enough to query for provid=
ers and then<br>
search through all providers. Not sure what&#39;s nicer though: prefixing t=
he query with,<br>
for example youtube: is less intuitive, but this way, constraining the sear=
ch to one<br>
provider is a lot easier.</blockquote><div>=C2=A0</div><div>Well i was init=
ially for allowing 2 kinds of query: one without specifying the service so =
basically just &quot;query&amp;constraints&quot;<br>and the second one like=
 it acts now. From the mediacenter point of view a generic query is nice si=
nce the user will just interact with a browser widget that allows looking f=
or videos hosted on the web. But at the same time he (the user) might want =
to look for a specific video from a specific provider. This is a hard point=
 because from the silk point of view probably the specific service stuff sh=
ould be completely hidden.<br>

 rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Do you=
 have any specific thoughts on that? (I had to read<br>
the source code to find out how to use the engine, not so good.)<br></block=

<br>
Otherwise, great work :)<br></blockquote><div>=C2=A0</div><div>Thanks! =3D)=
