Menu and activity information (1 Viewer)

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to get a list of all current menu items and also the current activity (name, artist, album etc) in a MP plugin. I want to show this information on a Palm so I can play music etc without turning on my projector.

I have tried to find any documentation that cover this but without no success.

I don't know any way of getting the list of the current menu items, but you can get current activity information though the GUIPropertyManager class in MP using various tags, e.g. "#currentmodule", "TV.View.Channel", "TV.View.Title", "#title" etc.

If you want to get info when outside MP, I have a plugin that uses .net remoting to expose the information. Not sure if this helps you get it onto your Palm though. How would you communicate with your Palm anyway? Have you got a wireless card?
