Barcrest: /* How To Write your own Plug-In */

'''Jukebox Plugins''' are bit of 'add on' software that is controlled by your Juke-box software.

==BackGround==

In early 2008 a 'standard' set of commands was agreed upon by a few Jukebox software Authors. With some input from other interested parties a Global standard was created. The goal was a plug-in could be created and with a view most if not al functionality would be compatible with any Jukebox software applying this standard.

The standard is known as 'The Jukebox Plug-in System' or '''JPS'''

==How To Use a Plug-In==

Download the plug-in and place it in the 'plugins' subfolder of your Jukebox software. You then need to configure it by.......

==How To Write your own Plug-In==

To write a Plug-in you need to obtain a copy of the 'Juke-Box Plug-In SDK'

The following is a list of supported Functions:

'''PCHAR Juke_GetPluginInfo();'''
Return a string contaion this info with this format:
PLUGIN_NAME + '|' + PLUGIN_AUTHOR + '|' + PLUGIN_VERSION + '|' + PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION

'''Juke_Command(Name:PChar; Value:PChar):PChar;'''
Sending a string (UTF8 or ASCII formatted) with a name and a value, and some commands might return a string pointer to a jukebox softare (also UTF8 or ASCII formatted).

'''CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:'''

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_KEY_EVENT_CREATE","KEY_EVENT_NAME")'''
This command is required before JUKE_PLUGIN_CONFIGURE is invoked. This make sure a plugin can "listen" to a KEY_EVENT command from the Jukebox Software and example effect a sound effect to a KEY_EVENT.

A Jukebox Software can create any KEY_EVENT commands that can been controlled by the user (also like a keybinding).

Only KEY_EVENT commands (keybindning) is needed for the plugin to known, so they can used for various things like LedWiz, Sound, Remote controlling and other things.

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_CONFIGURE","WINDOW_HWND")'''
Invoke plugin configuration screen with the Plugin Mangager WINDOW ID. The Plugin can use as its parent windows, so the configuration window can have the current focus.

If a Jukebox Application dosent know what it is, this can been set to 0.

'''APPLICATION COMMANDS:'''

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_OPENED","")'''
The Jukebox software have just started.

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_CLOSED","")'''
The Jukebox software have just closed.

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_UNICODE","TRUE or FALSE")'''
Does the Jukebox support Unicode or not? Then the UTF8 formatted strings can been used.

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_HOST","SOFTWARE NAME")'''
The Jukebox software name.

If a jukebox application support UNICODE, the arguments would been JUKE_APP_HOST_UNICODE his string would been used, otherwice empty. If the Jukebox Software is not used any unicode string, that would been no need to convert UTF8 strings by both plugin and jukebox software.

!! Plugin Writers: Please dont reject other jukebox software, if you have a favorit !!

'''SONGLIST COMMANDS:'''

For Jukebox Authors: If the song contain a | char (I never seen that), remove that before send the string.

'''Juke_Command("JUKE_SONGLIST_ADD_SONG",'''
"system|postition|title|artist|album|genre|totalDuration|TrackNr|AlbumNr|more")

Jukebox Software

2007-03-21T12:00:40Z

Barcrest: /* List of jukebox software */

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and appear as a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there is a GUI to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CD's to your PC.

Software is available for several different operating systems and may or may not be freeware. Often, if the software is freeware, a donation link is present on the homepage of the software to allow you to show your appreciation for the developer's efforts in creating software that frequently rivals and/or bests commercial software!

Jukebox software may also be "skinnable", meaning the appearance of the software may be changed by the end-user based on their preferences. This may take the form of preset skins within the software, or the ability to develop and share skins with other end-users.

Lastly, touchscreens may be utilized if the software supports it, and can be used to eliminate the need for buttons or a keyboard/mouse combination altogether.

==List of jukebox software==
Below is the jukebox software comparison table for '''Windows''' only. SilverJuke now exists to Mac, and Doscab is for DOS.

 '''''Please be aware that this may be incomplete! The individual pages will have the software's homepage for you to verify any information or questions you may have!'''''

Jukebox Software

2007-03-21T11:51:40Z

Barcrest: /* List of jukebox software */

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and appear as a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there is a GUI to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CD's to your PC.

Software is available for several different operating systems and may or may not be freeware. Often, if the software is freeware, a donation link is present on the homepage of the software to allow you to show your appreciation for the developer's efforts in creating software that frequently rivals and/or bests commercial software!

Jukebox software may also be "skinnable", meaning the appearance of the software may be changed by the end-user based on their preferences. This may take the form of preset skins within the software, or the ability to develop and share skins with other end-users.

Lastly, touchscreens may be utilized if the software supports it, and can be used to eliminate the need for buttons or a keyboard/mouse combination altogether.

==List of jukebox software==
Below is the jukebox software comparison table for '''Windows''' only. SilverJuke now exists to Mac, and Doscab is for DOS.

 '''''Please be aware that this may be incomplete! The individual pages will have the software's homepage for you to verify any information or questions you may have!'''''

Jukebox Software

2007-03-21T11:42:18Z

Barcrest: /* List of jukebox software */

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and appear as a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there is a GUI to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CD's to your PC.

Software is available for several different operating systems and may or may not be freeware. Often, if the software is freeware, a donation link is present on the homepage of the software to allow you to show your appreciation for the developer's efforts in creating software that frequently rivals and/or bests commercial software!

Jukebox software may also be "skinnable", meaning the appearance of the software may be changed by the end-user based on their preferences. This may take the form of preset skins within the software, or the ability to develop and share skins with other end-users.

Lastly, touchscreens may be utilized if the software supports it, and can be used to eliminate the need for buttons or a keyboard/mouse combination altogether.

==List of jukebox software==
Below is the jukebox software comparison table for '''Windows''' only. SilverJuke now exists to Mac, and Doscab is for DOS.

 '''''Please be aware that this may be incomplete! The individual pages will have the software's homepage for you to verify any information or questions you may have!'''''

.....please see [[Talk:Jukebox Software|the talk page]] for cleanup issues

Jukebox software is designed to allow your PC to act and appear as a jukebox. Much like game emulators, there is a GUI to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CD's to your PC.

Software is available for several different operating systems and may or may not be freeware. Often, if the software is freeware, a donation link is present on the homepage of the software to allow you to show your appreciation for the developer's efforts in creating software that frequently rivals and/or bests commercial software!

Jukebox software may also be "skinnable", meaning the appearance of the software may be changed by the end-user based on their preferences. This may take the form of preset skins within the software, or the ability to develop and share skins with other end-users.

Lastly, touchscreens may be utilized if the software supports it, and can be used to eliminate the need for buttons or a keyboard/mouse combination altogether.

Different "skins" can be utilized, although creation of new skins by the end-user may or may not be allowed at this time. Freeware
