Getting started with MJ12 plugin development
« on: August 19, 2009, 05:23:29 pm »

Hi all,

I am planning to write a plugin for MJ12 (yes). The plugin should accept files and playlists so I want some "send to" functionality.

So far, I have implemented a working test version as a interface plugin. Yet this one is no "send to" or drop target, so it cannot accept any files.

Can this be solved? Or should I make it a handheld plugin (simulating a device)?

Thanks,
splatterpop

I've requested this several times. I implemented an "intermediate application" for the PvdImport plugin which utilized named pipes for interprocess communication. The "Send to External" function then calls this application which again communicates the filename to PvdImport.

It was a real PITA, especially when I realized afterwards that I could have done the interprocess communication with four lines of code using Windows Communication Foundation...

The MoviesSeriesInfos plugin uses AutoHotkey to achieve something similar maybe you could ask the author for some details.
