Winamp Plug-in Details

Author's Comment:

Turn Winamp into an XML-RPC & COM server
This plugin will turn Winamp into an xml-rpc server. Why would you want to do this? Well, I wrote it to control Winamp from other applications, such as Emacs, or Visual Studio. I often work at a single monitor connected through a KVM switch to multiple computers, with Winamp running on only one (the one with the good speakers & nice soundcard). So, I needed a way to be able to fire off requests remotely. xml-rpc is a simple protocol, with client support on a wide variety of platforms (unlike COM, for example). In particular, its spoken by Emacs (through the xml-rpc package), which was my first priority, since that\'s the app I spend the most time in.

Random Review:

nice work
i tried this on my network, I was using a plugin similar that i wrote, but this one used less resources and also didn't set my firewalls and security software into a frenzy. Most other remote access plugins kept getting booted from the network, and this one didn't. Also I like that you have logging avaulable, with that I found my associate was accessing and changing my tracks on me. Again, I like the most that the scanners didn't give me a network access violation error in the logs. some of the aps I've been using tell our network that unauthorized access to a remote resource has been logged and sent to the servers. I don't know what you did but this one doesn't even seem to show that access has occured, I like that.
