J. River MC DACP remote plugin? about dacp-net HOT 9 CLOSED

I would love to.  Unfortunately the JRiver API is too limited and cannot 
provide the data needed that the Apple Remote protocol requires.

That is a shame. I was already looking on the information available to
write my own plugin in C#. What is it that is missing in the API that
prevents writing a DACP plugin?

There doesn't seem to be any way to query the data by say Album Id or Track Id. 
 everything the apple REmote requests is by some sort of relational structure, 
an artist has an identifer, the album has an identifier and the track has an 
identifier.

Then when the Apple Remote does a Search like "Green" it will find you 7 
Artists, Albums and Tracks that have the word Green in them like "Green Day" 
etc.  There is no query languague from the RiverMote API for asking for the 
data in such a manner.

If you search the Jriver forums you will see I have asked for as much in the 
past and they even removed my posts and banned my username for a while because 
I was "saying things their product could NOT do".

I posted about it on my forums here if you want to read it:

That is a real shame. I don't understand the statement of J. River neither
to be honest. I really love the more polished look-and-feel of J. River
(over MonkeyMedia). But as most of the time I have my media player not on
screen, I am seriously considering buying MediaMonkey. Thanks for your time
anyway!

No problem.  Trust me if Rivermote did have the right API I would have built a 
DACP Server for it when I built the one for MediaMonkey.  MM just has a much 
more open API and much more flexible ownership and community.

kudos to this guy.  THis project looks pretty awesome and beats my Rivermote 
hands down.

Now that I have open sourced the code you can look at making this plugin now!
