Naw, you are correct.
Basically I just need to interact with media players. With itunes I can do stuff like..
(this isnt correct code, just typing..)
$itunescom = new COM("Application.iTunes");
$currentTracks = $itunescom->CurrentPlaylist->Tracks;
for ($i=0; $i<$currentTracks->items->count; $i++){
echo $currentTracks->items->item($i)->getName()."<br />";
}
if (!empty($_GET["skip"])){
$itunescom->next();
}
if (!empty($_GET["volume"])){
$itunescom->setVolume($_GET["volume"]);
}
so I can interact with the media player currently open on the server (infact, as soon as you reference Application.iTunes it'll launch itunes anyway).
I can do with same with winamp and windows media player with a bit of messing around, loading plugins into them.
This is great on windows, but I want to be able to do it on linux too. If i can even find one media player that I can talk to it'd be great..
