How Jacobi.Vst.Host.Interop cancels its dependence on `WinForm`? #52

Closed albyho closed 2 years ago

It is not convenient to create an ASP.NET core app at the moment.

obiwanjacobi commented 2 years ago

I am curious about your use case. Why would you want to?

albyho commented 2 years ago

I want to create a web-based Vst host.

obiwanjacobi commented 2 years ago

How are you going to 'remote' the plugin native UIs? Almost all plugins I know have a (windows) GUI. I don't think that translate well to the web...

  1. Prepare some *.fxb files on the website.
  2. Users upload *.midi files for synthesize music.

@albyho You can build your custom version. To remove the dependency of Winforms, just remove the FrameworkReference of Winforms in Host.Interop's project file.

Also you may have to remove the codes which is Winforms-specific. I've tried, there're only two MessageBox functions. Not very necessary I think.

Finally just rebuild the solution.

@Becks723 Yes. But some VST(i) plugins need to be initialized on the main thread. It's not vst.net's problem. Not WinForm, too. (老乡好。微信或QQ交流下？微信：Alby-Ho)
