Re: Re: Freevo and xPL Integration



You'd have to compile it yourself at the moment - the plugin is a single
c# file
http://www.xplmonkey.com/downloads/GUIxPL.cs
which was created by heavily editing an X10 plugin that someone had
written using xAP (bah!).
It requires the xPLLib .NET framework.

Below is a rough outline of the media.basic schema as it stands.  This
could probably be neatened up quite considerably - I just haven't had
time to look at it for a few months.

MEDIA.BASIC

XPL-CMND

COMMAND=PLAY/STOP/NEXT/PREVIOUS/CLEAR/REBOOT

COMMAND=PAUSE/MUTE/RANDOM/POWER
(STATE=ON/OFF)

COMMAND=REPEAT
(STATE=OFF/ONE/ALL)

COMMAND=VOLUME
(LEVEL=+n/-n or >n/<n or n, n = 0 to 100)

COMMAND=BALANCE
(LEVEL=+n/-n or >n/<n or n, n = 0 to 15)

COMMAND=QUEUE
URL=<first part of path e.g. C:>
......
URL=<last part of path e.g. My Album>
URL=<filename e.g. a track.mp3>


XPL-TRIG

COMMAND=REBOOT/PLAY/STOP/NEXT/PREVIOUS/CLEAR

COMMAND=POWER/MUTE/RANDOM
STATE=OFF/ON

COMMAND=REPEAT
STATE=ONE/ALL/OFF

COMMAND=VOLUME/BALANCE
LEVEL=n


XPL-STAT

STATUS=POWER ON

STATUS=POWER OFF

STATUS=STOPPED

STATUS=PLAYING
URL=<full path>
TYPE=<file extension e.g. MP3, FLAC, OGG, WMV, WAV>
ARTIST=<artist name>
ALBUM=<album name>
TRACK=<track name>

All of these XPL-STAT messages are also tagged with the following
optional information which is enabled via LOADER.xml

POWER=ON/OFF

MUTE=ON/OFF

RANDOM=ON/OFF

REPEAT=ONE/ALL/OFF
