Windows Media Player Plug-In by Vilkku on 07-05-2003 at 03:16 PM

No, I haven't made one but I made this topic to get the answers to the following questions:
1) Is it possible to make a WMP song title plugin like the (!WAT) one?
2) If it is, is someone working on one?
3) And if someone is, when will it be done?

It has been suggested in a few other threads.  I believe someone is working on it, but there is no expected release time yet.

Well, the 2) was the most importaint one :D

Yes it's possible
Yes i'm working on it
Yes it's a pain in the ass ^)^

I had to put it on hold for a coupla hours while i slapped together the plugin website, but now that that's done, i'm continuing my work.

It seems that i'll have to learn COM+ to do it (damn remoting) but i was planning on doing that soon anyway.
I've got an 8 hour plane trip on thursday, i'll get a book on COM+ and learn it on the plane, and I (hopefully) should be able to release it by friday or saturday.

Looking at my watch just now i realised that the final of messenger plus should have been out yesterday.  I guess you had some trouble, PatchOU? :)

Kangaroo > would you happen to know of any Windows Media Player API, or where I can find some info. I was trying to make a plugin for it too, but i cant find any good info on windows media player.

Well, DXtremz, first step is to get the WMP SDK.  It has quite a lot of information, for lots of languages.
That's what i'm using, unfortunately you need to know COM+ to understand the remoting stuff :)
