zorro good explaination, so is frodocomm the frontend that calls all the modules? the thing i dont get is that frodoplayer and RR for example already have most of the "modules" correct?so you wouldnt need a mp3 player plugin,dvd player, etc.. For example some one could just make a EQ. plugin for frodoplayer and it would look like the EQ was embedded in FP

So basiclly anyone can add[module] whatever they want to FP and it would look/work like it did if frodo did it on his own

It's just a vision of things to come... this doesn't depict the present

Its not a Frontend. A frontend is what you see. Its more of a backbone. If you put that CDRipper pluigin that Guino has been working on on the network, then all apps would be able to use it. But, there has to be an app to use it. Frodocomm itself won't do anything with it.

Any progress on the Delphi part? You'll receive a much better text-to-speech component

I can show you how to get the control loaded, but I haven't had time to
do delphi xml examples.

Gobby · 05-09-2005, 07:11 PM

I'd better get to working out how to use this!

Ok, so the control loads, and I can send and receive messages? Sweet!

I finally installed this open XML thing in delphi. Now I just need to figure out how to use it

Frodo, you are dedicated. Seriously, where would we be without you?

beernutz · 05-22-2005, 02:51 AM

Hi, first off, i want to thank you (Frodo and the community) for frodoPlayer! I am quite impressed with the stability, and feature set!

Second, i am a programmer by profession. Not that i am all-knowing, but i do have some skill in this area.

Finally, i am looking for some information on getting the comServicesHost and the modules that come with it installed properly. For some reason i am unable to get any of the services to show (register?) in the servicesHost application.

I have some programming i would like to experiment with. Things like a thumbs up and thumbs down to rank songs while they are playing. Once your library gets so large, it can become a problem keeping it all organized and cleaning out the bad songs. With a tivo like Thumbs scheme, it would be a LOT easier to manage this. I am thinking of a button to basically remove a song from active rotation as well. Something you may have collected, but not really had time to listen to. This way if you hear a song that you hate, you can just mash the "NUKEIT" button and review the bad ones later.

I promise i will not be obtuse and will give back as much as i can. Please help me with this if you have the time.

Anyway, there are lots of other ideas i have, but this is where i would like to start.

Thanks again for a great platform and any help!
