How do you get the LV2UI_Show_Interface? #51

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

I can't get it out of lilvmm.hpp or lilv.h I just want to call show()

ghost commented 2 years ago

I think I can get it to work with suil but why is there not a function to show the interface for host that don't have a GUI? It is in LV2 specification that you can get the UI Interface and call show for hosts that don't render their own frame

Ahhh. So, I did not even realize that not all plugins even have their GUI. Now that I understand, I can get the URI giblet to the UI. So, then maybe I can load the UI plugin.

Like other "interfaces" in LV2, it is extension data, in this case on the UI. You can retrieve it with suil_instance_extension_data.
