I think the submitter is all manualy done by someone at JRiver if and when they have time to post it.

1) How do I find out what to put for this:

"List of Actions for a mjp file (if necessary) or
link to offsite page if you will be hosting the accessory"

--- End quote ---
The mjp actions tell MC how to install the accessory automatically. For example:

[Package]
Name=Aluminium (black)
Action=INSTALLSKIN
Url=http://accessories.jrmediacenter.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/785.zip

The URL gets set when the plugin is added to the list. This is the simplest example. If someone submits a plugin without the mjp actions, I add them manually.

A more complex mjp, using version 2 mjp looks like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>

<MJPF version="2.0">

        <Package>
                <Name>Kaktus</Name>
                <Action>UNZIPDIR|SAVE_DIR_STRUCT</Action>
                <URL>http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/794.zip</URL>
                <Version>1.0</Version>
                <HasActions>1</HasActions>
        </Package>
       
        <Actions>
                <FileEntry>
                        <File>*.*</File>
                        <Action>
                                <Command>COPY_DIRECTORY</Command>
                                <Param>FullSkins</Param>
                        </Action>
                </FileEntry>



--- Quote ---I have couple skins I'd like to submit, but I have no idea what "actions" are necessary for this, or where/how to find this out.  I did look over some of the DevZone links, but I wasn't able to figure out how it all works.

2) The submission form says to submit a zip file.  Does the site automatically take care of unzipping the the file and installing it directly when the "Download" link is clicked on the JR site?  In other words, does the submission for take care of the "mjp creation" process?

--- End quote ---
See above on mjp creation. The zipfile that you upload containing the accessory is downloaded BY the .mjp that you click on in the download link on the JR site.

--- Quote ---3) On a related note to (2), how much of the folder path should be included in the zip for skins?  Do we just zip the files with no path and let the submission process do the rest?

--- End quote ---
Yes, zip the file without a path.

--- Quote ---4) What's the "Accessory id"?

5) Once submitted, can it be removed by the submitter?  If so, how?

Thanks for any details on this stuff.

The accessory id is sent back to you on the submission of a new skin. You use that in future modifications (that is why it's only required for updates in the form).

So who would like to post a "no-skin" skin? I'm really tired of all these colors. I would love a normal Windows application window, functionnal and sober, and using the exact same scheme as the rest of the OS.
