Caller ID Plugin

[reven]

i would take it on but i dont have caller id, so no way to test it.

reven,

I dont even have a modem with a phone port anymore. There is probably a testing suite for the caller id app.

I don't use modems anymore either but i am using something called a NetCallerID box. It plugs into a phone jack and then connects to a serial port for getting caller id info into my home automation software.

Caller Id from Telecom is only $3 a month.

So for the original plugin done by CodeMonkey, where is the source? An earlier post said it was posted in the developer forun but I don't see it. Can someone post the latest copy of the source at least?

Thanks,
Greg.

yeah i know, its just not available at my house. the PBX (or whatever) box is too old, and telecom said there were no plans to upgrade it.

I have the latest source from code monkey.

Maybe I will play with it. I dont really have the time but it would be nice to have.

the code I have has some compiler errors. I am fixing them now.

Jeff or Reven,

I have compiled the latest caller id plugin and gotten it to work it shows stuff on the screen. I am going to add a picture, so you can add one for the caller.

I am also going to maintain a list of the last x callers.

Do either of you have an example of

"the video overlay plug-ins (in the confg.xml file) and the plug-in pushes the approriate keypress onto the windows queue when it wants to pop itself up over the video?

That would at least allow it to show during videos. " (quote from jeff)

Right now the code is using PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ShowMessage. I would perfer to generate an image so I can include a picture of the user. Any ideas on that? Can I use a video overlay if no video is playing?
