Topic: Basic programming/access to current playlist

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is there any way to modify the current playlist?
I want to build a Jukebox type front end to control VDJ.
I would still like to use the regular interface for normal dj'ing but would also like to be able to enable another interface that I write with the programming language of my choice (probably WPF or silverlight) kind of like the iphone remote control app to access the live now playing list, search for songs and cue them up etc.

I could write an app from scratch but would rather make an interface to VDJ.
If the current playing list was just a file it would be very easy- just re-write the file.
Or maybe I should just create the jukebox as a skin? but would still like to control one instance of VDJ from more than one interface.
Any ideas?

Has been discussed recently.

You can add tracks from the browser to the playlist via VDJScript.

The only accessible API to VDJ is via C++. You can use other languages, for example using COM Interop from .Net, however we don't actively support it.
