Output plugin?
« on: October 28, 2003, 11:19:18 am »
Is there any documentation or SDK for writing output plugins?

Can anyone offer any examples?  I really love MC's interface and want to use it to control other devices around the house.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks for the links.  I checked those out and never saw anything about writing an output plugin (I do see skins, display, interface, input, dsp).  Maybe it's not possible to do what i want?

If you actually look inside the *.cpp and *.h files (using NotePad), you will see they are commented well. I have been familiarizing myself with the Input plugin SDK with the eventual goal of writing a FLAC plugin. You really have to be a true programmer to do these. It is not for the faint-of-heart. I'm pretty good with Visual Basic with some C/C++ knowledge (but I learn fast).

I will check them out.  Actually, i have 13 years of experience writing C-Code and have spent the last 6 - 7 years doing web development (COM, ASP, etc) and now i'm doing embedded development under linux, so the coding part doesn't concern me so much, i just need to find out how to put the hooks into media center.

Thanks again,
Jeff

I'm just hoping that when I do get a handle on writing the FLAC plugin, that I'll be able to compile it with MS VC++ 5.0, which was released in 1997. I think it will, since JRiver probably used 486 or Pentium (1) level optimizations. Matt...any comment?

I'd guess that you could link to VS.NET 2003 libraries with VC 5.0, but I'm not sure.

The Unicode part may be a little stickier with VC 5.0, but I bet if you ask, someone around here will know how to get it going.

Thanks and good luck on the plugin.
