Conduits' Pocket Player 2.51 Released, Now With SDK
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 AM
Last week, Conduits released a point update to their popular Pocket Player product. They've combined a bunch of small updates as well as a number of new features, including a Today plugin. What's most interesting, though, is the release of an SDK for the player.
"Plug in! A Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available from the Pocket Player website, which includes all the necessary files and features needed to implement the four types of plugins: Decoder, Visualization, General, and DSP plugins. The interface can be extended with the use of "general" plugins that can be added to Pocket Player. With decoder plugins, media format support can be further expanded. Digital signal processing (DSP) plugins lend audio effects to the mix. Visualizations add pizazz to playback."
There's only a few plugins available right now (such as MOD support), but this sounds like an attractive option for those of you who want an extensible featureset from your media player.
