Android Share Hook
Ever so often I browse websites, YouTube videos or other things on my Android Tablet or Android Phone and at some point I want to "share" something to the TV. It would be great if Ampdroid actually registers as a share hook in the Android system (android.intent.action.SEND or whatever) and MpExtended reacts accordingly to those commands, if supported.
For instance, you browse YouTube Videos with the YouTube App on your Android Device, then you hit the share button, select "MediaPortal" (or whatever the share entry is called then) and the implementation from aMPdroid sends a specific command (defined by MpExtended's interface) so that the YouTube video will be opened in MediaPortal (within the OnlineVideos plugin for instance). Or you do the same on a webpage and the browser opens. Or you share an UNC path (from an Android file browser app) pointing to a video and MediaPortal will play that video.
Though I suppose this may overextend the intended functionality of MpExtended and other plugins also need to work together with MpExtended then.
But this would be so great... specifically getting a YouTube video onto the TV via MediaPortal is a ****ing pain right now, if you solely do it via the OnlineVideos plugin ;). The search function is really cumbersome and generally doesn't find everything that the regular YouTube Apps or the website would find.
Easily sharing things with to your TV, just as Google originally intended with its Nexus 7 + Nexus Q concept, would be great.

Quotes in ID3 tags prevent causes problems
When in Music / Artists or Music / Albums view and there is a quote in either the Album title or the Artist name ID3 tag, it's not possible to play the entire album. If you go into the album i'm able to play individual song though.
Example1 (Album View):
Album: Can't slow down
Artist: Lionel Richie
You can't play the entire album i.e. nothing happens if you choose "Play".
When entering the album, the individual title track (Can't slow down) van be played.
Example 2 (Artists View):
Artist: Des'ree
You can't play the entire discography from the artist i.e. nothing happens if you choose "Play".
When entering the artist's Albums (in this case only one: Mind Adventures), the individual album refuses to play also.
It's only possible to play a single track from this album.
Hope this can be solved. Love the app by the way ;-)
