foo_lirc plugin, LIRC compatibile remote control plugin! Options

[levsh]

Hello!

I want to announce foo_lirc plugin for controlling the FooBar2000 from a remote control. It is in the alpha stage of the development, but it already has the support for this features:

- configurable LIRC/WinLIRC server address and port
- supported player controls: play, pause, stop, prev.track, next track, track position and volume.

The plugin and its source code is available at SourceForge page, you may download binaries from here:
foo_lirc binary and sources

I'm waiting for comments and list of missing actions

No, it's a bug in foo_lirc. The way foo_lirc finds the main window is to do this:

CODE

#define foo_window_class TEXT("{DA7CD0DE-1602-45e6-89A1-C2CA151E008E}")
hMainWindow = FindWindow(foo_window_class, NULL);

That was how it would work in Winamp. However, that only works with the standard user interface, since columns has a different window class. What either Phi or levsh needs to do is to change foo_lirc to use

CODE

hMainWindow = core_api::get_main_window();

They accomplish the same thing, except the bottom one works with user interfaces other than the standard one. In fact, I'm pretty sure the standard UI has a hard-to-recognize window class like that to discourage people from trying to use FindWindow on it.

(edit): Wording changed.
