any developers who might be interested to help out with MusicBee, I am particularily wanting help for the following:
- a windows .NET friendly interface to the Project M visualisers (I have not checked myself yet, but I gather VLC may have created a windows port so that might be a good starting point)
- implementation of lyrics plugin api for some of the specialist lyrics sites or for additional artwork providers (not as important)
- implementation of a UPnP server plugin (I have some useful info and code samples to get this started)
- implementation of a coverflow plugin (I would need to make some enhancements to the plugin API, so please contact me first)

please PM me if you are interested to help out

'Clementine' features ProjectM visualisation on Windows. It's GPLv3 open source. http://www.clementine-player.org/

Hi there,

I'd be interested in working on getting projectM up and going in musicbee (motivation is that milkdrop crashes my computer over and over). I don't really have extensive development experience but I used to code in VB6 and Java, so I think I *might* be able to manage it. If there's any other info you need from me feel free to ask.

Oh and I'm using visual studio express, so I'll use VB.net if I can and if not then I'll just have to teach myself C++.

-Joel

if you do go down the C++ route, make sure the interface you expose is .NET friendly.
I imagine one thing would need to MB to supply is a FFT analysis for the sound that is currently playing, and it will be no problem to add that to the MusicBee API. Just let me know what you need and i will try and accomodate it in the API.
Also you will need a way to add a panel to MusicBee which i will add to the API as well. But i will wait until you let me know what you need before doing anything
