TheaterTek plugin questions...

[ladiaz]

First of all, I want to think all the developers that dedicate their time to these plugins, it is greatly appreciated. I'm running smartie v5.4.1 w/ the TheaterTek and JRMC plugins on my HTPC. Are these plugins still in development? I was wondering if I could request a minor change to the TT plugin related to how the name of the file being played is returned. For example, I have a DVD server that I play my movies from and the name of the movie always comes back as VIDEO_TS, as in VIDEO_TS.IFO(the name of the DVD IFO). I know the DISK ID is forwarded from the plugin, but I would just like to parse the string that gets passed to TT in the play command and grab the directory name of the parent directory(which is the name of the DVD). I've done plenty of development, so I would be willing to take up the modifications if this plugin is no longer supported. Please let me know or I guess I can look into writing a new dll. Thanks

Another thing I would like to look into is whether we can get a numeric representation of the current Play State. For example, instead of Play State being "Play" or "Pause" etc., returning something like a 0 for "Stop", 1 for "Play", 2 for "Pause"... This would really help me create some better actions to switch between Themes in smartie. For example, if TheaterTek is open, but not playing anything, I don't want the display showing me blank information. I only want the display to start displaying information once the state changes to Play or Pause and return to the previous theme when the play state changes to stop. Right now, the sample actions only determine whether TT is running or not, which is not indicative of the true state...
