Hi Nickolay,
 I can't wait to start playing with these new features.

 Unfortunately, I'm having a problem, and I can't seem to pin it down. I've copied the new Media Jukebox.tlb file over the old one in my development area (I'm working on the new WebRemote in C/C|PLS||PLS|), but I can't seem to get it to show me the new functions. Is their some step I need to take to make Visual C|PLS||PLS| to 'reimport' the functions? I know someone else had a similar problem before, but I just can't fix this. I've looked in the tlb file, and I see text for some of the new commands, so I'm assuming they're there and the compiler can't see them.

  Ugh.

  Thanks Nickolay,
  -Ben

WickedEwok,

I just checked the TLB file. It's the latest version.  Make sure that you copy file to the right location.  

Web Remote uses import directive to get info from tlb:
#import "..\..\Media Jukebox\Debug\Media Jukebox.tlb"  no_namespace, named_guids

I'm using

#import "Media Jukebox.tlb" no_namespace, named_guids

And it complains if I remove the copy from my directory, so I know it's going against the right one. And I've looked in the tlb file, and I see it has your new stuff.

For some reason, the compiler isn't picking up the changes. I am totally new to COM and this tlb stuff, so I'm a bit mystified. I've cleaned, removed the _p and _i files, rebuilt. Nothing. I still can't "see" the new methods in IMJPlaylistsAutomationPtr.

I was hoping there was some "quick fix" that maybe you or another COM expert could help me with. If not, darn.

It's me again.

I figured it out. I had to delete the ncb file, as it controls intellisense. Rebuilt, and now I can see the new things.

Sorry about my confusion.

No problem.  Development environment is getting more and more complicated with every new versions.  It's becoming very hard to keep up with everything it does; especially when something does not work as it should.
