Broadcast Power with its verison 2.5.3 release added new functionality to the remote
player host.

We have finished adding enhanced featuers to the plugin module of remote
player host. Now you can configure plugins by clicking on the new Configure button.

This will display a dialog box with the list of loaded plugins.

When you select the plugin from the list, a description and list of actions will
be displayed to the right.

Select the action from the list and then click on Execute.

For the "Now Playing Web Export Plugin" this will display the configuration
dialog box.

New Reporting Engine

Finally, I got a chance to replace the old reporting engine with Microsoft's ReportViewer.
Now you can set the report parameters from the application. You can also design
your own reports if you have access to an RDL (Report Definition Language) editor.
Microsoft offers a free verison of the RDL editor through Visual Studio Express.

Both the report and its parameters are defined in the tables:

1. Report
2. ReportProperty

Have a look at the default example there for more details.

If you have any report that you wish to see published with the application, let
me know by leaving a request thread in our Forum.   

Try it today!
