ive tested and ran this build sucessfully on WinXP, and Win98.  it fails to load on Win95, and i dont have my Win2K or WinNT4 systems available at this moment.  on a note:  it isnt tested on WinME, nor will it ever be.  i dont offer any support at all to the WinME OS.

One comment - will it be possible at some point to assign any foobar function or even a sequence of functions with RM-X? For example, I'd love to use the gamepad to do with one button what I have configured to do in foobar with keying = followed by Next track followed by DEL.

Will rmx support a Creative RM-1000W remote?  My audigy 2 platinum came with this remote but there is no application to control it's funtions, and so no way to add plugins for it to use that I know of.  If it can be done then both of my pc's will be happier.  I see there is support for RM-1000 remotes and I am guessing there likely isn't much of a difference, but unless I am doing something wrong this one doesn't work with rmx at the moment.

Ok, The RM-1000W remote works with the intelliremote plugin, the RM-1000 plugin does nothing for it though.  Good job, I only tried it with the rm-1000 plugin before and decided to look in the remotes folder and found the dll files rm-900.dll, rm-1000.dll, iR2000.dll.  The rm-900.dll gave me a good idea that it may work.  Thanks again, looking forward to some new functionality.

are there any extra buttons on the RM1000w that doesnt appear within the config?  if so, i could give you a custom build that outputs the ID of the button when it is pressed, and you could give me that ID, and i could just add it to the list.  (this is how i aquired the extra button IDs for the RM900b? remote)

[EDIT]
oh, and intelliremote directly interfaces with the sound blaster/audigy drivers.  you dont need their crappy remote software running or even install for IntelliRemote to work.  you can thank Andrew Schwartz for this functionality.
[/EDIT]

In regards to it working without Creatives remote installed or running, at first it was pissing me off since everytime I pressed a button the osd poped up because the remotes default functions, so I decided to disable the remote and it still worked with foobar.  Glad you mentioned it though, because if I was any lazier I wouldn't have figured it out. on my own.
Thanks.

EDIT: Volume Down and Mute work, but they both increase the volume while Volume Up mutes it.

next:  i want anyone and everyone that wants to participate... create me a list of things you want in RM-X.  by this, i mean functions that can be assigned to the events.

I have a couple requests:

-- Allow binding keys to the remote, so we can use it with the keyboard shortcuts built in to foobar

-- Allow the volume to control the SYSTEM volume, not foobar

-- I don't know if this is possible, but allow us to change play order (shuffle, default, etc)?

Hi darkain -

To add to your list: I'd love the following - most favourites are on top -
- ability to assign a sequence of commands to one "button"
- select currently playing track and nothing else
- send to a (pre-specified) playlist
- delete track from playlist
- add a pre-specified comment to a file or set a particular tag (so i can remotely "mark" files and find them later)
- switch active playlist and play a song from that new playlist
- change playback order (also the ones in the shuffle plugin, "shuffle album 2" etc)
- (independent of playback order) play the next track or previous track in the playlist

Any of these would be welcome! Great work, your plugin, I'm amazed.

as for playback order... can foobar components register alternate playback order methods?  if so, would it possible for my component to just enumerate or other wise get the list of possible sort orders?  if i could just do this, i think this would be easiest for future expansion.

service_enum_t< playback_flow_control > e;
playback_flow_control * ptr;
for (ptr = e.first(); ptr != 0; ptr = e.next()) {
    do_something_with_name(ptr->get_name());
    ptr->service_release()
}

"select currently playing track and nothing else"    can you eloborate on this one a bit further?  im a bit confused.

Yes, foobar components can do that. To enumerate the available playback orders from within your own component, you can use the following code:

By the above I mean that what happens when you double-click the status bar

darkain, i like your plugin ... though foobar being very user-configurable, could you add another option to assign to button? keep 'function' as it is, and add 'menu command' and 'context command', which would enumerate all foobar's commands

btw i like your gui . could you add something like 'add new function' and 'add new menu command', so multiple commands could get assigned? only problem would be changing order of these items, i think that your gui can't do that atm

Question to darkain:

Does Foo_RMX "pretend to be" Winamp and accept Winamp API commands like "Play", "Next", etc that are sent as a windows message to the window called "Winamp"?

I wrote a tool once that interacted in this way with Winamp, but ever since I got rid of Winamp, I had been thinking that now this tool is useless to me... But I found out by chance that now Foobar picks up these commands! I'm trying to figure out which component is responsible for this behaviour.

Thanks for info.

I'm still getting errors on closing Foobar FYI:

[...]there is support for winamp's gen plugins in RM-X.[...] it supports play, pause, stop, prev, and next, and that is IT for the comment.  i plan on eventually implementing most of the winamp v2.x spec API[...]
