[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 7036, member: 10347"] I'm assuming that you're a programmer so this is going to be a bit technical: Question 2 first. Given that MP is open-source, there is no defined API for accessing MP functions. Its basically a explore and implement thing. You can create process plugins which get loaded on startup and have no GUI, and window plugins which do have a GUI. There are interfaces for this. If you don't fancy that a lot, I have created a plugin for MP that allows you to control MP from other programs. It works via .NET remoting. I have also exposed the plugin as a web service as well. I have currently partnered with someone else to create a web interface for MP using this plugin - it will be released fairly soon. The plugin is still in development, but currently you can get the currently playing item details, send actions (basically anything you can do with a keyboard) and the current MP path. If you're interested in developing a pocket pc remote, you can easily communicate with MP via my plugin using .NET remoting, which is supported by the .NET compact framework. I hope this answers all your questions, ask away if you have more. Sam [/QUOTE]
