Creating a Media Source Driver

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of some documentaiton on how you can go about creating a custom media source type/driver? Or is it just a case of referencing and reverse engineering exisiting packages?

Thanks,

This is all I could find, but I'm not sure it's what you need. https://www.markhamstra.com/modx/2012/01/bringing-dropbox-to-media-sources/

Thanks Bob. That's pretty much as far as my own research got me too.

Yeah there's not any tutorials around for it.
It's a matter of taking an existing implementation and changing the parts you need.
