 Re: Upgrade issues
You can upgrade later from Universal edition to the Professional edition by paying the price difference. I can assure you that using the SDK is very staightforward. Currently I'm preparing samples and documentation. But there will be no free evaluation version. > What can you tell me about the SDK? What kind of
> capabilities does it have? The SDK provides access to the following functions:
- Query player status (song position and duration)
- Control playback (play, stop, pause, next)
- Play jingles
- Enable/Disable Scheduled Events
- Get playlist information (track names, selection)
- Modify the playlist (add/remove tracks)
- Display a message box
- Display text in a dockable window In addition to that Raduga fires an event whenever a new song is started. You can catch this event and do whatever you want. > What kind of add-ins can it be used to create? For example you you could upload a file to the web server whenever a new song is started. The file may contain a history of previously played songs or a list of upcoming songs or both. You can also build a completely new user interface for Raduga that hides critical preference settings from the announcer. Or you could build a launch pad with more than 9 jingles. To do this you will need programming skills in HTML and Javascript, VBScript or Perl. For more advanced add-ins I recommend you to use Perl, because JScripot and VBScript have some limitations. For example they don't have FTP functions.
