Implementing in unsupported third-party app?

Post by VeniceGlass »

Looked through the dev docs, but not sure where to start here. Any pointers on how - or whether it's possible - to implement Growl notifications into a third-party application that I don't have the source to? Just (just!) want to have notifications of what song's playing from the Sonos music Mac OS X client application.

Thoughts?

You'd have to do what we're doing with GrowlTunes, find a way into the sonos app via applescript or polling it or distributed notifications, and then use the app to get the info and send it to Growl.

If Script Editor doesn't let me open the dictionary for the application (grayed out), I presume that means there's no AppleScript support. If that's true, how could I poll it?

I think that is correct. I do not know on polling.
