MM5 external interface
Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 1:24 am
Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a rainmeter plugin I quickly hacked together after MM5 alpha builds were released to the public - with emphasis being on "hacked together". It works, but it's painful to look at. Since MM is closing in to a beta release I'm considering to rewrite the plugin, but I'm a little concerned about how future proof the whole thing is.
I'm using the chrome remote debugging api exposed by chromium on port 9222 to interact with MediaMonkey, which works really well because it basically gives me access to the chrome developer console, and from there I can execute js commands to read data or perform actions.
What I'm concerned about is whether remote debugging port will still be available in the release version of MM5 or if it's strictly an alpha/beta thing - I'd rather not invest time into completely rewriting the whole thing if I know that it will be obsolete in a couple of months anyway.
I'd appreciate if somebody could share some insight over what the plans for the future are and/or if there's any other recommended way for external tools and applications to interface with MediaMonkey 5.
