I'm developing a open source C# frontend.

My main features are:

media player (vlc plugin for audio AND video)
different screens are actually panels.

xml file used to store configuration information.

obd2 information ( i've not worked out how to do that)
gps information (not worked out how)

embedding external software into the User Inferface.

Playlists:
1. last played files.
2. Albums
3. Custom Playlists.

And any other features that other developers are more then welcome to add.

If anyone is interested in Joining the team, i'ld be greatful to have you on board. anyone from Graphics to experienced c# programmers.

Something I've wanted to see in a front end is a tabbed interface. You have all the tabs along the top so you can go to any screen you want at any time without having to go to a menu screen first.

the problem with c# is i cant find any gps software that i can use with it.

I'm a php developer by trade.

Would be very easy to skin roadrunner to do that.

Hello,

I am developing a front end in Microsoft Visual Basic 6 (I hate managed code!). I have been succesfull in:

Embedding Windows Media Player for all the A/V task...

Using select Win32 API I managed to transplant the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 main map window into a picture box on my own form (this was a pain but paid off in the end)...

Etc, etc, etc...

I will watch this post for some inspiration. If you want to know more of my project just drop me a line...

C'ya
