We need two parts for our application:
1st:
An Win App. which has the following capabilities:
- Process jobs for downloading via http
like Windows Bits or / [login to view URL]
- Store the files in a directory structure
- Handle and store meta information of downloaded files
and files witch are in progress of downloading
(cover, artist, filesize, etc)
- UI for accessing files like WMP10 with categories, etc. so the user can access,sort, categorize, etc. the stored files. search / overview pages for sorting genre, viewed files, etc.
- Export / Import of file-information / files via XML via the UI and via API calls
- Scan local dirsfor XML information / files and store them into the App. / UI
Most files will be WMA / WMV files (with and without DRM), so the App. should be able to play this files via an integrated WMP. All DRM / SDK is available from us for development.
The Application should be able to track usage models e.g. playtime of WMV / WMA files and store them to log-files. On demand (UI / API) the log files should be transferred to an Server via HTTP / FTP, etc. for accounting issues.
Maybe this can be solved with the WM SDK and an HTTP-Server running in the App. for tracking.
- For local stored files witch are encrypted via DRM, the App. should be able to issue DRM licences (WM SDK 9.5 / 10) via HTTP or local e.g. if the user enters a PIN / etc.
- App. Update via HTTP on demand / autom.
- Integrated IE for showing local stored files
- C++ / VB (small size)
2nd:
An ActiveX, which is able to communicate with the App. in 1st e.g. to
- queue files to the service for downloading
- status of downloading files
- delete / update etc. files
- extract file-list / meta-information from the App. of stored files
- extract Log-Files from the App.
The ActiveX-Controll should be controlled by JavaScript.
