Hi All,
I currently don=92t use xAP although I have looked at it many times since
i=
t was first released. I=92m getting closer to needing it on my HA server
bu=
t have a few problems that need to be overcome first.
Malcolm at Telgen (Telcanto) is writing a plugin for Telcanto to xAP
enable=
it. I=92d like to get now playing info out of Telcanto and also be able to=
control it. It looks like xAP may be the way to do this EXCEPT I=92m runni=
ng HV Pro and the desktop app on the HA Server PC. ACE also links into the
=
HV Desktop app via DDE.
A couple of questions:
1. I presume the current HomeVision plugin is serial only and that DDE
supp=
ort still has to be written?
2. How would =91now playing=92 info be sent to a controller such as HV and
=
in what form? (variables, text etc?)
3. How would HV control an audio source such as Telcanto? (how does it
work=
in the serial only plugin)?
I=92d first of all like to write the now playing info to a HV video screen
=
and be able to offer simple play/stop controls from it. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul.
