A very long time ago I wrote an MM4 add-on for a remote control webserver in Python. The installed piece was just a VB script that launched Python in the background; the Python managed everything via the COM interface.
For a number of reasons this was on the back burner for years, but recently with (a lot of) help from Claude I've ported this to the MM5 framework: server still running in Python but interacting with MediaMonkey via HTTP to the Media Sharing port and a JS add-on providing the same features I once exploited in COM.
Is there a similar capability in MM2024 to launch the Python server app when MediaMonkey starts?
Tangential question: in the add-on manifest, what value should I use for "minAppVersion"for MM2024? Any plans to update
