Foobar as a UPnP renderer (player Options

[Wadsbrau]

I am in the initial stages of creating a plugin (my first) that will make Foobar2000 a player for UPnP. I am not unfamiliar to the general logic of prgramming. I experience is mainly in C.

My code for the UPnP will compile and run as a stand alone app. Although it doesn't have any player capability at this time.
I have been able to add the UPnP stack code (as dll) to the SDK and can build it and add it to foobar with no errors and no functionality.

My first step is that I merely need to have foobar launch the UPnP code when it starts up. Howvever, I have no knowledge of Foobar's objects and functions.

Can anyone help me get started with the code that is used to initialize my plugin when foobar starts up?

I have tried this but it doesnt work:

CODE

include "../SDK/foobar2000.h"
DECLARE_COMPONENT_VERSION("Test", "0.1", NULL);

class initquit_handler : public initquit
{
    virtual void on_init()
    {
         UPnPStart();
    }
    virtual void on_quit()
     {
    
     }
};
static initquit_factory_t<initquit_handler> foo_initquit;

After I get it to launch, I merely need to tell foobar to play, pause stop etc. Then have foobar send the play progress information back to the UPnP control point.

Please help,

Thank you

I could do that. Are you saying just put up a .zip or something on a webspace?
I wasnt sure how much help anyone was willing to give.

But,
I'm not sure what this thread does:

CreateThread(NULL,0,&Run,NULL,0,&ptid);

But, if I comment it out and use _beginthread in on_init() the UPnP stack runs properly.

Now, I need tell foobar2000 how to play, pause, stop, seek, etc from within the UPnP code ( which is C)
The upnp code has a seperate function for each of these that is standard naming so that the controller can send the right command. Essentially, In a function like:

void avtransport_play(token, instance_id)
{
Code here to tell foobar2000 to play the file (http://... that is sent here by the control point
Code to tell the controller that the play command was successful.
}

Almost all of the functions for control work like the above.

Can I do that from the UPnP code that is now running in another thread?

If I include the foobar.h header on the upnp.c i get the 100+ errors report.

Yes.

If I include the foobar.h header on the upnp.c i get the 100+ errors report.

Because including C++ code from C file won't work. You will need to convert upnp.c to C++.

Is there any way to do this automatically. there are many lines of code spanning 10 C files and about the same number of header files in the project. I am using this code because the Intel code generator which creates the core of UPNP created them that way. I would hate to have to convert this whole thing manually.
Isnt there a way to wrap the c code so that VS2008 thinks its c++ and vice versa?

Thank you
