[Approved] - Yac Plugin

Hi

As other users has expienced then the Original YAC plugin has some bugs, and it seem its not maintained anymore
It also could use some requestet features like pause media.

So I asked my frind some time ago to look at it,
He then wrote a external YAC plugin.

Wouldent it be an idea to commit his changes to the original YAC plugin?
He dont know how to write a patch, so here is the source, if any of you guys would/could do it.

YAC Externalplugin
----------------------------------
This is a cutandpaste work based on YAC with funtions from ISDN thats embedded in the ProcessPlugins dll.

Highlights different compared to the standard YAC
- Made it as external plugin
- Only one message on a call
- Possible to pause and unpause on a call (setup in GUI)
- Possible to auto unpause after a time (setup in GUI)
- A GUI (from ISDN)

Hello,

I have just fixed a small bug in Yac plugin : in the YACListen() method, I replaced the line :

Code (text):

[INDENT]Dim sreader As New StreamReader(stream)[/INDENT]

by

Code (text):

[INDENT]
Dim sreader As New StreamReader(stream, System.Text.Encoding.Default)[/INDENT]

This is because Yac 0.16 streams data in plain ASCII. But the plugins (like Mediaportal plugin, but also to HomeSeer plugin) were built in .Net environment which assumes UNICODE streaming.

My concern was that when Yac was sending messages with extended characters (like é, è or ç for France), they did not display properly in Mediaportal. The change I made solves the issue even if I am not sure it is the state-of-the-art way to manage this coding issue...

So have anyone had the time to compile a 1.2.0 Beta version?

AW: Yac Plugin

Any news on this? I really need the YAC for my family's happynes.

Re: AW: Yac Plugin

I read that other forum thread and nothing in there makes YAC work under MP.

What I'm doing is to simply run the YAC Listener on my MP clients. That little bubble shows up in the lower right and shows us the caller info. Not too bad on some of the TV's but hard to see on others because the bubble is so small.

It would be great to see a proper YAC plugin available for MP.
