How difficult would it be to add an API interface to allow remote control use? A popular RPG sound player monitors a folder. A file with a play or stop command gets moved to the folder and the software reads it and responds. Something like that?
I know that the ability to remote control would be useful for many usage of Sound Show and I'm looking into it. I'm working on a remote control app but I've not yet a date of release
In the meantime, it is already possible to find workaround since Sound Show may react to keyboard inputs even when not focused. For example, this rpg dm made it works with its ipad as remote control :
I like the idea of an API with files in a folder and I'll keep it in my possible features list but in won't be on top of my current priorities.
There is now a pro version of Sound Show that has support for remote control from android (or windows) through a dedicated app. It is only available in a paid version of Sound Show but I hope the small price will still make it affordable for a lot of people.
