Getting status and data from MC?
« on: August 08, 2008, 06:28:22 pm »

Hi,

I'm working with Win32 API's and trying to control MC from an external application via SendMessage() commands.
Sending commands to MC is pretty straight forward, but I couldn't find how to get data back from MC.

Can anyone please explain how I could retrieve status indicators such as: current volume level, current display mode, etc.
Also, how could I retrieve the name of the file (avi/mp3/jpg/etc) that is currently playing?

Thanks.

Check out the DevZone link on this page, and look at MC automation... -- j

Ah.. now I get it. I saw this one earlier but thought that "Media Jukebox Application" controls a different app (the names are a little confusing).
I'm not sure it would help me. I am trying to remote-control JRiver with my cell phone via bluetooth and PuppetMaster as the liaison (which doesn't let me create an automated object - at least not in a PuppetMaster Script)...

Thanks anyways.
