Bart, big thanks for the info and sorry for late response; been tied of with other activities. But, regarding the API-mapping I'm interested of getting BeoPlayer / BeoPort to interact and work with Last.fm service to gather statistics on what I play. I've been in touch with B&O regarding this topic and ask if there are any kind of information that they could share on how to interact with their software. Got a polite answer that they didn't have any plans to do so.

I'll going to look into what you posted and see how I'm how I might approach. Another solution would be to have a little utility that checks what files the system has open and uses that to communicate with the Last.fm service. Not that nice solution, but would work.

Hi Kim,

I have compiled some information from the old forum, when the BeoPort still was the Beolink PC2. I tried to interface some functions but they probably aren't accessible from outside the application. Please let me know if you have any luck with this! What interface are you thinking about? I wanted to display artist and track on a small display to get more feedback on what is playing.

1. The device driver for the BeoLink is beopcusb.sys which is found in your SYSTEM32\DRIVERS folder.

2. The database storing the track info is DBISAM V2.

3. The applications are written in Delphi v5.

4. The functions contained within the type libraries are as follows :-

BEODM.DLL
GetBeodmInterface $1 $1010

BEOPCCD.DLL
CancelCDDBInfo $1 $54C0
CancelRecording $2 $5460
DebugTest $4 $51A0

BeoPlayer API mapping?

Have any one on this site done any mapping of the BeoPlayer API to figure out how to interact with other Windows applications?
