Unclet: /* BackGround */

'''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com Jukebox Plugins]''' are bit of 'add on' software that is controlled by your Juke-box software.

[[Image:http://www.jukeplugsys.com/logo.png]]

==BackGround==

In early 2008 a standard set of commands was designed by '''Space Fractal''' (MultiJuke) with a goal of allowing plugIns to be created which would be compatible with any jukebox software which supports this standard. With some input from other interested parties ('''loadman''' and '''headkaze''') a global standard was created. 

The standard is known as the Jukebox PlugIn System (JPS) (or '''[http://www.jukeplugsys.com JukePlugSys]''').

'''Jukebox software which supports the JPS standard are listed below:'''

* '''[http://www.multijuke.com MultiJuke]''' By Space Fractal
* '''[http://www.freeboxjukebox.com Freebox Jukebox]''' By Barcrest ''<--- currently in progress of adding JPS standard''

==How To Use a Plug-In==

Download the plug-in and place it in the 'plugins' subfolder of your jukebox software. You can then configure the plugin with your specific requirements by going into the jukebox software, locating the plugin and clicking the provided configuration button.
 
 
 

==JPS SDK description==

Note: This development section is only of any real interest to Jukebox software authors and Plug-in authors. Any details on how to use a plug-in will be provided with that plug-in.

MAIN PLUGIN CONTROL FUNCTIONS:

PCHAR Juke_GetPluginInfo() 
Return a string with plugin info in the following format --->
"NAME + | + AUTHOR + | + VERSION + | + DESCRIPTION"

int Juke_Initialize(value) 
Inits the plugin when the Jukebox Software starts. Returns 1 when successful.

int Juke_Shutdown(value) 
Shuts down the plugin when the Jukebox Software ends. Returns 1 when successful.

int Juke_Configure(HWND hWndParent) 
Invokes the plugin configuration screen with the jukebox application's window ID. The plugin can use this as it's parent window, so the configuration window can have the current focus. If a jukebox application does not know what it is, this can been set to 0.

PCHAR Juke_Command(PChar Name, PChar Value) 
Sends a command(event) (ASCII formatted) with a name and a value to the plugin. The plugin can return a string pointer to a jukebox software (ASCII formatted) as well (when required).

PLUGIN EVENT COMMANDS: (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)

Juke_Command(JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE, "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|createValueStr") 
This command is used to create(define) a jukebox-specific event which can be sent/received to/from the plugin at any time. One of these commands are sent for each specific event which is defined and are sent to the plugin when the jukebox first starts. The command informs the plugin about "extra" events (which are not defined by the JPS standard).

PLUGIN_EVENT_(name) = jukebox-specific event name

createValueStr = text string indicating which types of values are allowed to be sent/received to/from the plugin. This string consists of any of the following text values listed below. Multiple values are space delimited.

ENABLE = allow the user to provide input or invoke change (ie: allow users to delete queued songs)

DISABLE = do not allow user to provide input or invoke change (ex: do not allow users to delete queued songs)

NUMBER = number can be provided (ex: set volume level)

LETTER = letter can be provided (ex: jump to album covers starting with a certain letter).

ON = feature/setting was turned on (ex: mute volume, repeat song)

OFF = feature/setting was turned off (ex: mute volume, repeat song)

KEYDOWN = button has been pressed

KEYUP = button has been released

KEYCLICK = button has been pressed and released

Examples:

1) To indicate whether something is on or off then the following command would be created:
JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ON OFF")

2) To indicate a number or letter can be associated with the event:
JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|NUMBER LETTER")

3) To indicate you can enable or disable (like lights) something as well as indicating you can receive some keyEvent for it:
JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE KEYDOWN KEYUP KEYCLICK")

4) Now, "just for fun" lets say there is an event which allows the plugin to enable/disable it, also allows it to enter a number and a letter:
JukeCommand("PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|ENABLE DISABLE NUMBER LETTER")

Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_SEND", "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|sendValueStr") 
Sends a previously created/defined jukebox-specific event to the plugin.

PLUGIN_EVENT_(name) = event name previously created by the "JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_CREATE" command

sendValueStr = one of the "createValueStr" values listed above

retValStr = Juke_Command("JUKE_PLUGIN_EVENT_GET", nullString) 
This command is continuously sent to the plugin so the plugin can then return an event string value to indicate an event in which the jukebox software should execute.

'''Please Note: Some jukebox software does not like " in the returned string, so do NOT add them here'''

retValStr = text string in the following format --> "PLUGIN_EVENT_(name)|valueStr"

APPLICATION COMMANDS: (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)

Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_GAINFOCUS", nullString) 
When the jukebox window becomes the active window in the user's environment

Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_RESTORED", nullString) 
When the jukebox application is restored from being minimized

Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_MINIMIZED", nullString) 
When the jukebox application is minimized

Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_UNICODE", "TRUE or FALSE") 
Whether the Jukebox supports Unicode or not?

Juke_Command("JUKE_APP_HOST", "JukeboxName") 
Informs the plugin with the jukebox's name.

SONGLIST COMMANDS: (double-quotes are not included in the text string which is sent)

Juke_Command("JUKE_SONGLIST_ADD_SONG",
"system|position|title|artist|album|genre|totalDuration|trackNum|albumNum|more|filename")

If a application use JUKE_SONGLIST_ADD_SONG to add songs after the current played song (used only as a queue), this command is NOT used. Hence default value set to 0.

Plugin Writers:
If you want to support all songlist/playlist/queue scremes, you can convert a JUKE_SONG_START command to a JUKE_SONGLIST_ADD_SONG using position 0 in your parser, if this command have a value 0 (ETC never sent).

Jukebox Software

2010-12-03T03:12:46Z

Unclet:

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and look like a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there are graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CDs 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.

Jukebox Software

2010-08-29T23:07:32Z

Unclet: /* List of jukebox software */

'''Jukebox software''' is designed to allow your PC to act and look like a jukebox. Much like [[emulators|game emulators]], there are graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to enhance this effect. Jukeboxes often require you to [[CD Ripping|rip your music]] from CDs 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!'''''
