In fact, IT IS NOT A MP PLUGIN (yet!)This stand-alone app is designed to test your DAAP server (iTunes, RythymBox, Banshee, etc.) to see if it works with the implementation of the DAAP client that I am going to use.Please note that iTunes 7 is not supported just yet - it has some funky Hash issues that are yet to be resolved...Note that you need the .NET2 runtimes (but MP needs that too... so if you have MP working OK then this should also work OK)To use testing program:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Download the ZIP file</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Extract to a temporary directory</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">run DAAPTest.exe</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Put the server name in the top box (I've left localhost in there, you should put the address of the machine that is running the DAAP server (eg. iTunes)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Click on the one and only BIG button on the window!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Give the program a few seconds to connect to the server and get details about the database (NOTE: only the first database is supported right now)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Once connected and the success message comes up with the URL, connect to that URL with a webbrowser on the machine running the testing program. You should get a list of databases. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Pick the first one (if you have any more than one, tell me...)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">After a while the tracklist should load up you should be able to click on one of tracks and save it to disk. Rename with a ".mp3" on the end (if it's an mp3....) and it should be an exact copy of the file <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></li> </ol>If there is an error anyway through this, it should either print out a stack dump (which you should give to me if there is a problem (and also what you were doing, what client/server and what versions, etc.) or crash and a stack dump will be in the crash window. Alternatively if you have VS2005 you may be able to debug the code and tell me what line the crash occured at!If everyone can connect OK with their servers, we can move on the phase 2 - building the plugin <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> (i'm still learning!)Good Luck!!!!Simon<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />LINK: (see Attachment)  [ATTACH]634[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
