Hi,
I was successful in creating "MyPlugin" for JRMC22 in

• MS Visual Studio 2017
• \Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
• Windows 10

I have simply added a button that displays a message box.
Attaching the process Media Center 22, I can debug too !
At this point I would like to complete the project, that is

• Logon to TIDAL (no, it's not TIDAL, but let me use a name familiar to you); I'm able to do it, in the same way as I displayed a message box
• Capture the "copy to clipboard" event (generated by TIDAL): by this way I can get the AlbumID
• Given the AlbumID, I know how to get the album metadata and how to load the track list into the "Playing Now" section
• Capture the play event (generated by JRMC22) of a track, so that I can fill the "Filename" with the address of the stream and then the track can be played

Can I do all that from inside the plugin ?
I'm doing that since the rendering of the stream made by MC is far superior, and then I can use the DSP inside MC.
Ah ! the name of the plugin will be TINR ("This Is Not ROON").
Thanks

I have to admit that a better C#/.NET programmer than me could have (much) less difficulties than me but ...
In the Plugin SDK sample I have
        public void Init ( MediaJukebox.MJAutomation mediaCenterReference )
        {   
            try
            {                 
                this.mediaCenterReference = mediaCenterReference;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
                    {
                              this.Enabled = false;
            }
        }
While in the code found @ https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Programming_Plugins_in_C I read:
public void Init ( MediaCenter.MCAutomation mcRef )
{
    try
    {
        this.mcRef = mcRef;
        // This tells MC to also call our MJEvent method
        this.mcRef.FireMJEvent += new IMJAutomationEvents_FireMJEventEventHandler ( MJEvent );   
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        errorHandler ( e );
    }
I guess that this is the piece of code that could allow me to capture the "Play" event, but since I don't know the object model, I'm lost.
Any developer ?
Thanks

Hi all (mainly to the developers).
Crashing my head I was able to have in my plugin the code depicted in htps://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Programming_Plugins_in_C, so now I see in the Debug pane the events raised by MC.
Unfortunately the result is very deceiving.
When I press "Play" on an album I see
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYLIST_FILES_CHANGED 636665472
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_TRACK_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_VOLUME_CHANGED 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_TRACK_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
Let me guess that "636665472" is some internal ID used by MC.
Unfortunately, when I jump to the next (or any other) track, I see
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_VOLUME_CHANGED 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_TRACK_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
MJEvent type: MCCommand MCC: NOTIFY_PLAYERSTATE_CHANGE 0
The ability of getting some ID of the track that's playing is crucial to my project (a "showstopper", if you want).
Please help !!!
Thanks

Have you found the documentation on the Developer page?  A link is at the bottom of this page.

[teodorom]

Yes, it was this way that I discovered https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Programming_Plugins_in_C#.Net.
Information is buried somewhere, I guess ...
Thanks

Crashing my head I have realized that the "s3", available when the
private void MJEvent(String s1, String s2, String s3)
fires, is not an internal ID: apart being quite always 0, it always changes.
No clue of the meaning in the documentation.
So, I tried another way. I wrote:
MediaCenter.IMJCurPlaylistAutomation curPlaylist = mcRef.GetCurPlaylist();
The object curPlaylist does (quite well) its job, try:
curPlaylist.RemoveAllFiles();
The
MediaCenter.IMJFileAutomation nextFile = mcRef.GetFileByKey(curPlaylist.GetNextFile());
seems promising.
But nextFile is empty!
Debug.WriteLine(nextFile.Album);
Finally: how can I get the Key of the NextFile in the curPlayList ?


Thanks

curPlaylist.GetNextFile() returns an index in the current playlist.

So you probably need to do curPlaylist.GetFile(curPlaylist.GetNextFile()).

Hope that gets you going

[teodorom]

This works:
MediaCenter.IMJFileAutomation currFile = curPlaylist.GetFile(1);
Debug.WriteLine(currFile.GetKey());
MediaCenter.IMJFileAutomation nextFile = mcRef.GetFileByKey(currFile.GetKey());
Debug.WriteLine(nextFile.Album);
The "key" is currFile.GetKey().
Thanks
