Topic: IPC

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I wrote a visualization software which supports a few audio players by now. It shows the current playing title, position and - if available - lyrics.
To be able to supprt Virtual DJ, I wonder if you could add the following IPC features...:
- Get current playing file (full filename - unicode string)
- Playstate (e.g. playing, paused, stopped)
- Current position & song length (in milliseconds)
Best would be if those informations could be retrieved as one datablock / request using file mappings.
Alternatively WinAMP compatible IPC requests would also do - so please also support the unicode versions.

There are plugins already that can show the artist and title of the current playing track, so this is already possible.
Track position has a plugin too. So it's possible to do that too.
Though they way those plugins interact with virtualdj might but slightly different to how you were looking.

As above, if you want to use IPC then you will need to implement a plugin to get that information and then you can pass that however you like!
