Documentation for Media Jukebox automation interfaces are available on our web site
http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/developers.html

The interfaces can be used in Metamorphis, Interface plug-ins and Display plug-ins.

Way cool! Using the automation you can create your own MJ inside of MJ.

Way cool indeed. From what library can I instantiate these?

Nikolay · « **Reply #2 on:** March 07, 2002, 01:31:22 pm »

In next build you will find Media Jukebox.tlb file in MJ installation folder.

Run MJ so it can register itself with the system.

if you use VB: add reference
if VC|PLS||PLS|: use #import directive

Take a look at Track Info and Sleep Timer for more info how to use the interfaces.

How about C#?

Nikolay · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2002, 02:43:32 pm »

I'm not sure how, but I'm sure that you can import Type Library into C# project.

Given a type library, VStudio.NET can use any COM component via a COM<->.NET Framework interop layer. And any .NET Framework assembly can be exposed as a COM component usable by any COM-based development/scripting environment.

From a techno-geek perspective, it's all very cool.

KingSparta - work through the walkthroughs, and see how much better a development environment VS.NET is compared to VS6. VS.NET is the finest IDE I've ever seen, bar none, on any platform.

Everything you ever hated about VS6 they fixed. You're gonna have to figure out a whole new set of things to hate :->

Can you write standalone apps with VS.NET? Or does it only allow for MS's new .NET strategy type apps?

Severian · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2002, 08:17:19 am »

Nope, you can write standalone. And guess what? It now becomes possible once again, thanks to the new way they're handling and registering components, to write an app that you can deploy just by copying the directory, like in ye goode olde days of DOS.

well I will get to it, in time kind of busy right now with my real job

I have a Audit mon-thur not sleeping to good right now, beer going fast, the hard stuff is next

maybe sunday i can play with it more.

Hmm... I may have to pick this up. I've been meaning to get back into programming...

I wonder if my girlfriend can pick up under academic pricing through school... Next Page

Severian · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2002, 10:14:40 am »

Hey Doof, unless you want the whole shebang there's no reason to shell out big $ for it. They don't really advertise the fact that they still break out the languages separately, so you can just grab the language you're interested in for cheap rather than, say, shell out $1800 for the full Enterprise Architect version. Meself I picked up VB.NET for $110 full price new, and it's got the same IDE features that interested me in the full version.

Shouldn't development tools really be free with an OS, since the OS's very existence depends on programmers' ability to make good software for it?

I mean, JRiver is adding value to Windows by developing MJ exclusively for it, yet we pay $1000's a year for development tools AND pay money for the OS itself. Seems like one of the two should be free to me...

Yea, right nothing is free

however they do tend to cost too much.

See? Told ya. One little mention about stuff being free and we're in here carving up the Taliban again.

KingSparta · « **Reply #23 on:** March 08, 2002, 10:38:33 am »

i think it is safe

now if we wanted to talk about getting free [sausage] from J river then we would be banned.

thats one reason i think [former member] was only 90% present

Get over it. UNIX had free development tools for years (like 20 of them). Didn't help.

Microsoft spends extraordinary amounts of bucks on its developer programs. They have to recoup costs. Not to mention being a profit-making, publicly-traded company.

This "all software must be free" nonsense needs to go away.

And before you jump all over this, you will note that I am one of the creators of XFree86 (http://www.xfree86.org). I know ALL about Open Source - I co-created one of the cornerstone projects. I've been debating Open Source vs proprietary software issues for 10 years (go do some searching in the Google Groups archives, and you'll find some great debates between me and Richard Stallman).

Everybody,

To my knowlage it was not developed by Microsoft or UNIX guys.

Let's talk about MJ Automation Doc here.

I do like Sausage however

About the MJ Automation Doc, i will read it this weekend

Severian · « **Reply #27 on:** March 08, 2002, 02:30:51 pm »

Yes, for those who were late to this particular party, there was an IQ post that no longer appears here, and that's why I was talking about carving up the Taliban; KingSparta wasn't originally looking for sausage but that Unmentionable stuff. You know, the stuff that you write and then compile and it creates a program. Usually you're bald between the 'write' part and the time the 'compile' part happens successfully.
