I made an attempt a while ago to develop some Metadata Source Plugins but gave up since I did not grasp the integration good enough. Now I'm gonna make another attempt but hope for some advice before I start:

Could someone please point out a really basic example with just a) input-params, ie search title, author, etc and b) return-params ie where to return stuff to Calibe like description, cover etc. Even pseudo code is ok, I just want to understand what methods should be used for input and output.
If you enable multiple Metadata Source Plugins, will they run in serie och parallel mode? Reason why I'm asking is if there is a need to create your own process manager within the plugin to handle multiple requests.

Thanks in advance!
