C# AIMP SDK 3.60/4.00

[Martin]

Hi, is grouping tree stuff in an usable state yet?
I can't get it to work. No official documentation for aimp sdk does not help either.

Hi, yes you right the code is unstable yet. Not all methods have been tested well and the main reason for this - poor documentation and lack of examples
I'll ask Artem, maybe he can provide some example of custom grouping provider.

Hi, I saw that you updated the grouping tree demo plugin. Does it work for you?
I have this problem with your plugin and mine where it only shows the last node from IAimpGroupingTreeDataProviderSelection.
But event more weird is that the display title is wrong for that node. So it seems like the title is from the first node but the assigned value is from the last node.

Also why are you not using Marshal.GetObjectForNativeVariant and Marshal.GetNativeVariantForObject in ToVariant and FromVariant methods?
I dont know anything about COM but it seems like currently you only allow string to be converted to variant.

IAIMPMLDataFilterGroup.Add seems to be throwing an exception in AimpDataFilterGroup::Add, could not find anything wrong in the code so I think its a bug in aimp?

Btw what aimp version are you using? Im on 4.11, maybe all above is caused by the wrong aimp version.

Thanks.

Hi.

No, it's not work for me too. There a bug with tree display. I working on it, but still have not found a solution. I'm going to focus on fixing this issue.

Thank you, I completely forgot about these methods. I'll change the logic of the converter asap.

IAIMPMLDataFilterGroup.Add seems to be throwing an exception in AimpDataFilterGroup::Add, could not find anything wrong in the code so I think its a bug in aimp?

I'm not sure that is bug at AIMP, but anyway I'll check the logic for this method. And I'm using the latest stable version of AIMP - 4.11

Уважаемый Martin!
На некоторых компьютерах Аимп не видит плагин, хотя фреймворк установлен 4.5 и с++ нужной версии тоже.
Что ещё может влиять на его видимость?

Есть способ проверить работает ли сам прокси-плагин. Для этого необходимо удалить из папки с плагином все ваши сборки и оставить только сборку прокси-плагина.
Тогда в плеере должен появиться плагин AIMP DotNet proxy

Why isn't this working? I've downloaded the source and then I tried to build the dotnet_demo app. It builds correctly and then I put the dotnet_demo.dll file in my Plugins/dotnet_demo folder. I open AIMP and check the plugins settings, but I don't see the plugin I built.

What am I missing here?

You put there dotnet_demo.dll file only?
There should be 3 files: AIMP.SDK.dll, dotnet_demo.dll, dotnet_demo_plugin.dll
You can build sources at release mode and then check the folder 'aimp_dotnet\Release\AIMP.SDK\Demos\'

Hi. I've fixed it. Now all nodes are displayed

You mean in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\AIMP\Plugins\dotnet_demo"?

If so, yes, there are.

You can delete the dotnet_demo_plugin.dll file and then run AIMP. You should see the 'AIMP DotNet proxy' at plugins tab. If not, try to debug.

[Bose321]

No luck. Removed the file but I still do not see it in my plugins. How can I debug it if it doesn't even get loaded? Can I debug it from within VS? How does that work with a library class?

[Martin]

Try to download latest build from github https://github.com/martin211/aimp_dotnet/releases/tag/4.00.1687.111 and use the demo plugin from there.
Of course you can use VS to debug plugin. You should set Start external program property at Debug tab at project properties.

Got it working! I want to create a universal class library, but the SDK targets .NETFramework and what I'm using is .NETCore. Anything I can do about that?

.NETCore? Are you sure? I'm not heard that AIMP supports Linux or MAC. If you want you can using .NETCore at AIMP.SDK library, but aimp_dotnet cannot works with NetCore. Because this library written on C++ and C++ CLI and MS has not plan to support CLI on NETCore

Yup! Already have my dlna plugin working and converted to grouping tree
Thanks!
