Title: using Arexx within amigaE
Post by: neuroflip on May 30, 2007, 11:06:55 AM

hi,

i'm developing a little app which uses HiPPOPlayer in HIDDEN mode to play some mods in background. The app is coded in E.
I want to comunicate with HiP using arexx, to make the app more interactive having user functionalities like 'play next song' or 'get the mod play position'.
I have been making some simple test using ARexxComm module (from aminet), sending some 'PLAY/STOP' rexx messages, but i don't know how to send/receive the GET xxx rexx messages to HiP.
For example i want to send/receive arexx msg like the  PlayNext.HiP script (from HippoSuport/arexx dir), but coded in E.

Where i should begin?

Thx!

What format of music module are you playing that can't be played back with these E-Modules (http://aminet.net/package/dev/e/ae-music) and libraries?

Thx for the alternative  :-)

I'm developing a little app to create a menu system to listen a mod compilation on cd format with cd32. The code, and the idea, is based on the AGS (Arcade Game Selector (http://www.paradroid.net/ags/)). At the moment i prefere to use HiPPoPlayer to play mods, SiDs, etc and dedicate the little spare time i have to code the menu sistem. For this reason i'm trying with Arexx.

Oh my, I wrote that ARexxComm module a LONG time ago, when I was just getting to grips with ARexx ports.  And to be honest, it isn't that good.  If you can find an alternative, then I strongly recommend using it!
