protocolInputs from iTunes



Hi everyone,

Let me start off by excusing myself if this has been discussed hundreds of times, but I manually searched through every thread for 2009, and I also did some searches, but to no avail.
I must also mention that I only started with QC 2 days ago, so my presence here will only enlighten me, not you. Please bear with this n00b Swede =)

Question: When I open up the QC template for visualizers I can see 4 (I think it's 4 at least) _protocolInputs_XXX instances. To my understanding they are there to fetch data that iTunes is letting QC receive. But I lack some info that they can't give me (to my understanding). So... is it possible to declare another protocolInput in QC that I would guess could be named _protocolInput_NextTrack or something similar?

In short: I would like to have info and artwork fetched from iTunes that regards the song that will be played after the one currently playing.

Possible problem: Maybe iTunes doesn't determine which song to be played next until the current song is done, or I have pressed "Next" in the UI or using the Apple Remote?

Regards,
Daniel
