[QUOTE="johncl, post: 248601, member: 19215"] Is there any way of controlling Mediaportal from an external application? I am working on a robotics project and I want the robot to send a command to an agent running on the MediaPortal HTPC which should then command MediaPortal to do certain things. These are the features I am specifically looking for: - Send a music playlist to mediaportal (or a link to a generated playlist file) - Adjust volume of HTPC (I might do this directly though since volume is a PC global feature) - Stop playing command (perhaps also Pause) - Resume playing command All other remote control options for Mediaportal would be welcome of course, for example have it play a movie (send it a filename to an avi/mpg). Is there any such remote control plugin? Hopefully something that is general and easy to interface with from any language (through a socket or xmlrpc). I can take care of the playlist generation based on the input from the robot (would be based on genre or artist). Edit: A quick google and e.g for Winamp I found this tool: [url=http://membres.lycos.fr/clamp/]CLAMP - Command Line Winamp[/url] I would love to see something similar to this for MediaPortal as it would be an excellent remote control option with simple intergration (command line tools are really simple to interface).
