I'm trying to write a basic command-line program to print out all the vst's installed on the computer.
The problem is that when I call audioFormatManager.getNumFormats(), it always returns 0.
I am initializing the AudioFormatManager object by calling audioFormatManager.addDefaultFormats().
I'm building this on mac (the latest macbook pro if that matters), using the auto-generated "command-line" xcode project without any modification (besides filling in Main.cpp).
Full code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "../JuceLibraryCode/JuceHeader.h"
juce::AudioPluginFormatManager audioFormatManager;
juce::KnownPluginList knownPluginList;
void ScanForPlugins() {
printf("Scanning for plugins...\n");
for (int i = 0; i < audioFormatManager.getNumFormats(); ++i) {
auto format = audioFormatManager.getFormat(i);
auto scanner = new juce::PluginDirectoryScanner(
knownPluginList /* listToAddResultsTo */,
*format /* formatToLookFor */,
format->getDefaultLocationsToSearch() /* directoriesToSearch */,
true /* searchRecursively */,
juce::File::nonexistent /* deadMansPedalFile */);
juce::String pluginName;
while (scanner->scanNextFile(true /* dontRescanIfAlreadyInList */, pluginName));
}
}
void Initialize() {
audioFormatManager.addDefaultFormats();
ScanForPlugins();
}
void ListPlugins() {
Initialize();
if (knownPluginList.getNumTypes() == 0) {
printf("No plugins detected\n");
return;
}
printf("Installed plugins:\n");
for (auto i : knownPluginList) {
printf(" %s\n", i->name.toRawUTF8());
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
static_assert(__cplusplus > 199711L, "Program requires C++11 capable compiler");
ListPlugins();
return 0;
}
