Needless to say, I will also add support for more languages (e.g. Since I'm adding remote support anyway, I am also thinking of adding a web interface and if possible a mobile interface, but I cannot promise these as I have no experience in these fields yet. With this, you will be able to control MusicBee from a remote device or location such as your smartphone. This should increase the portability and versatility of the SDKs, and also make porting to other languages much easier.Īside from making things easier, using sockets allow me to easily add remote support, which I plan to. It will use sockets instead of memory-mapped files and window messages. I am planning on a new version of MusicBeeIPC (v3.0?).

I found a minor spelling mistake in the Python and Ruby SDKs, change Equalizer to Equaliser if you run into any relevant problems. (something like what's being done in MSDN)Įither way, I will have to find the time to do that, and even when I have time, porting it to Perl comes first. Do not use document generators, and create a single documentation containing codes for all languages but with the same explanation. With that said, I will try to find a way to produce a good documentation for this.ġ. Writing documentation for these functions either need a lot clarification from Steven or providing assumptions. Hence, there are some functions that I am not too sure what does it do or how does it work, but I have ported them anyway.

MusicBeeIPC is basically just the MusicBee plugin API brought available to external programs, and unfortunately, the MusicBee plugin API doesn't have a proper documentation as well (as far as I know, if there is one that I am not aware of, please enlighten me). MusicBeeIPC is coded in many languages, so keeping the documentation uniform and easy to maintain is difficult.Ģ. The reason why MusicBeeIPC still doesn't have a proper documentation is because:ġ. In fact, I have included the documentation inside the source code of few of the languages to be generated by some document generators.

Regarding the documentation, I have thought of making one as well. What you're doing there looks great too, very similar to what I'm doing with AutoHotkey and MusicBeeIPC.
