For developers of multimedia applications

1. Recevier of commands by named pipe

You can integrate the support of named pipes into your multimedia application (source code)

2. Setup of the applications

(Instructions for developers of applications)

Format of *.app files:

[ECOCRC]	important header
name=coolfm	unique name of application, it is used as key
pipe=\PIPE\COOLFMCONTROL	name of control pipe. all commands are forwarded to the pipe
start=coolfm.cmd	if CRC can't write to pipe then it starts the application using this script
type=fm	type of application (fm|tv|audiocd|video|audio)
thumb=coolfm%d.png	picture for CRC menu
suspend=$mute	if application receives suspend then it should mute, hide window, stop CPU usage, etc.
resume=$unmute	if application receives resume then it can enable sound, restore fullscreen, etc.

Notes, suspend/resume:

Users may desire to change the active application. There is no need quit the program. Your application should mute sound or stop CPU usage if decoding video.

• if your application receives suspend command then hide application window and mute sound/pause video.
• don't close the control pipe!

3. Format of *.lst files

Some plugins support .lst files

* [variables] section is obligatory. [generic] is important too.
