API Emulation

XPress may emulate the IS-SPX Player network API on the API port 1234. By default, the API is turned off. The network API is enabled via Settings / Enable network API (FIG. 114).

FIG. 114 Enabling the Network API on the Settings menu

Once the network API has been enabled, it is possible for remote IS-SPX Players to listen to shared variables and mouse/ keyboard events generated by XPress.

Restarting XPress will reset all the shared variables.
