External Control Protocol Specification
[Link: escient.com]This protocol, per Escient documentation works with either
RS-232 or with TCP/IP. The programs we discuss here are
TCP/IP.
The protocol are useless, unless you have a Server/client application running in the MCE machines that understand the language.
As far as me supplying any software, my media player is
not ready for public consumption as it needs some polish
in some areas. Also, it accesses playlists by number
so that it can also work with SuperNudelist. I doubt
that I'll ever publish that code for public consumption.
That is your prerogative! I would not expect any one to provide anything at all without hopping to get some form of (material) gratification; that should be Philip's team job, if they want to improve their image and stay in the remotes business. I could mention few companies who are competing with Philips and already have some for of application for their remotes and MCE integration: UEI Nevo, AMX, and Crestron are some that comes to mind. Philips should take the opportunity before is too late. They already have taken a great step by working the hardware to new standard. They are also listening to Custom installer feed back. All they need is a tech support team and some form of engineers who will be willing to work with integrators building drivers for more products integrations.
