There is a new beta version of TelCanto, V1.1.3, available at
www.telcanto.com/assets/download/telcantosetup-1.1.3.exe.  This includes
further xAP support:

- new xAP player type, allowing TelCanto to play via a remote xAP player as
an alternative to Winamp etc.
- xAP-Audio.Transport.Event generated, currently every second while the
state is "playing" otherwise every 10 seconds.  As this is not
defined in
the schema, I have implemented it as proposed in my earlier email:

Class=xAP-Audio.Transport.Event
Audio.Transport
{
State=[playing  paused  stopped]
Elapsed="elapsed time"
Duration="total time"
Shuffle=[off  tracks  albums]
Repeat=[off  one  all]
}

- Now.Playing event is now sent every 10 seconds or on a change of
playlist.
- xAP-Audio.Audio.Event now sent on change of volume or mute setting.
- This version includes the modified version of xAPTransport.dll using
UTF-8
encoding as discussed in previous emails.
- Enabling/disabling xAP support in Options>Configuration now results in
the
change being made immediately rather than needing to restart the server.

This version also includes support for TelCanto Server acting as a UPnP
Media Renderer.  This is the first stage of implementing full UPnP support
in TelCanto - the other stages being to allow TelCanto Server to act as a
UPnP Media Server, and providing a version of the Pocket PC (and later the
PC) client which acts as a UPnP Media Controller.  If anyone is interested
in testing/using the UPnP facilities please let me know and I'll provide
more details.

It may be of interest to know that I tested these new facilities using the
following setup:

TelCanto Server on machine 1 acting as an xAP player.
TelCanto Server on machine 2 with player type of xAP defined pointing to
machine 1, and acting as a UPnP Media Renderer.
Intel AV Media Controller selecting content from MusicMatch or Windows
Media
Connect and playing it via TelCanto Server on machine 2.

As with V1.1.2, this version is not being generally released until some
further testing has been done of the xAP facilities.
