Anyone used the DMC features of HALi?

I'm trying to add support for DMC into MyServant, and not sure of some of the events.

There's a OnDMCNowPlaying event, but I'm not sure what the provided string is... is it just the song title, or does it also include album, artist, etc?

There's a OnDMCAction event, and I presume it's provided string indicates the last action performed, but does someone have an official list of these actions, with the exact wording (so i can match) ?

There's a OnDMCAlbumCover event.. no idea how to utilise this?

I thought I sent you a copy of the v4 HALi doc???? Not sure what your refering to with the On prefix. I have them as just DMCNowPlaying and DMCAction. the cover art is not in the doc I'll have to ask, but if I had to guess I would think it returns the full path to the cover art filename of the song playing.

thanks Jim... and no i never received the manual.

By the way, the 'On' prefix is a default Visual Studio thing whenever an event hndler is added to an Active-X event. Sorry, didn't mean to include it in my explanation.

By the way, I've done very little testing on the new camera option in HALi. I'll ge stuck into that over te next cople of weeks (I'm going away next week though, for 1 week).
