I'd love to see this too, especially if the server had a class for using it with scripting
e.g.
MyRio = CreateObject("Rio.Control")
MyRio.SetPlayers ALL ' Command is intended for ALL players - could be MyRio.Setplayers MyPlayername1 etc
MyRio.Play MyPlaylist.pls, RANDOM ' Play a playlist randomly - alternatively NORANDOM
Set MyRio = Nothing
This would mean that my Home Automation server would be able to control the player. I'd also like to be able to 'broadcast' the same song to all players - Whole house audio on a budget!
I'm just about to look at wireless networking the player which would mean that the bathroom and garden wouldn't be off-limits music wise...
There is so much potential here that I'm bursting to get this sort of thing set up...
Some Command ideas:
SetPlayers
Play,Stop,Pause,Next,Previous
Volume Up,Down
TurnItOn/off
GetCurrentSong
GetCurrentPlaylist
PauseThisTrackPlayAnotherThenResumeFromWherePreviousTrackWasPaused (this would enable announcements)
IsPlaying (is the player playing)
IsPaused
IsOFF
Just some ideas feel free to add your own...
