CCLI SongSelect Library for .NET (C#, VB.NET, et. al.)

[shayward]

For any .NET managed-code developers out there wanting to built some kind of utility or application that works with CCLI's SongSelect format (USR files), I've just put up an open source library to read, manage, and search USR files.

http://cclisongselectlib.codeplex.com

This won't be interesting to anyone looking for a ready-baked application to do something with USR files but rather for developers who want a quick-and-easy library to encorporate into what they're doing.

GPL license, I may consider LGPL upon request.

Fellow Nerds Enjoy!

OK, I'm not a big 'nuff nerd to use something like that, but I am nerdish enough to know how big a deal that is.

Thanks Shaun!

This looks great! I would like to use it in Screen Monkey please?

To do that I will need to request LGPL though.

Hi owaits

I've heard alot about screen monkey, not really sure what it is (no time to Google at the moment )

What kind of project are you looking at doing for screen monkey? Does it support add-ins? I'm definitely interested in hearing about potential applications for this code.

You can take a look at the website to find out more www.screenmonkey.co.uk.

It is basiclly program that can display whole range of different media types. Does allot more than this though.

I was thinking of using your code in the song plugin to allow it to support song select files. There is already a converter for other formats.

The plugins are written in C# so you might want to have a play. Here is a link to the plugin documentation.

The program is not open source so I would need LGPL to incorporate your code.

Sounds like a really great use of the library.

I did some digging and you are correct - the GPL licenses as it stands won't work.

I had assumed that if your plug-in was GPL that it would constitute its own program, separate from Screen Monkey but that is not the case.

I'm away from the internet most of the weekend but when I get back to the city I'll take a look at either going LGPL or adding an exception to the GPL. Probably time I add an exception to the GPL I'm at LGPL any how

In the mean time, grab the code from codeplex, kick the tires, and feel free to submit feature requests on the codeplex web site.

Thanks
