Winamp Library [on pure AutoIt]

[MrCreatoR]

I think perhaps it should be up to the user to supply the proper window handle to the functions. What if I have two Winamp windows open? How would I specify which window I want the functions to act on? Otherwise looks really good, it will be nice to have something that doesn't rely on ActiveWinamp.

Basically i can add an optional parameter to all functions ($hWnd), but in what cases that would be neccessary? i mean why user will run two windows of winamp? Edited May 20, 2008 by MrCreatoR

I'm really interested in finding a way of scripting multiple copies of Winamp.

In my situation, I might be running 5 copies of Winamp (think DJ'ing), and what I want is a script that logs to a file every time any instance of Winamp changes to a new track.

I have a suspicion that ActiveWinamp doesn't allow this...so I'm hoping that maybe your stand-alone AutoIt script can!

Thanks!

Could you add something like GetTrackArtist. You only added title and I also need the artist Thanks

Never mind! I just did more ActiveWinamp RTFM (actually, I Used The Source), and realized that if you name a script startup_*.vbs, it'll automatically run it when Winamp launches. So, I tweaked the included logsong.vbs to not hold the log file open between writes, and I've got exactly what I want now!

Thanks everyone.

The library was written almost one year ago, lot of things was changed in autoit, so t's ok - will fix those errors soon.

[MrCreatoR]

Library updated!

v1.4 [22.May.2009]

* The library now compatible with AutoIt v3.3.0.0.

* Added optional $h_Winamp_Wnd parameter to all functions that sends message to winamp's window - It should allow to manage multiple winamp instances.

(by default the handle is taken from $sWINAMP_CLASS).

Please see the first post.

Actually I was looking for this. I'm always busy doing other things at my pc and don't watch winamp when im listening to internet radio, often i forget to write down nice songs when I hear them so I made a script that does that for me with the help of your UDF.

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=..\Desktop\Winamp Tracklister.exe
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
;Winamp lister
;Lists songs that are played in winamp

#include <Winamp_Library.au3>
$hFile=@ScriptDir&'\Tracklist.txt'
While 1
$Track=_Winamp_GetCurrentTrackTitle()
    If stringinstr(FileRead($hFile),$Track)=0 then;No dupes plox
        Filewriteline($hFile,@MDAY&'/'&@MON&'/'&@YEAR&' Time: ' &@HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ":" & @SEC&' - '&$Track&@CRLF)
        FileClose($hFile)
        Endif
Sleep(1000);Update interval
Wend

Simple and Usefull (for me)

[FuryCell]

Is it possible to get the artist of the current track? I would really like this so I can add WinAmp Support to one of my apps (LyricToy).

[Kreatorul]

I did it using _Winamp_GetCurrentTrackFilePath() and then I used an id3 tag reader.

[Erion]

A new version of the Library is here!

Changes:

; v1.5 [06.October.2010]

; _Winamp_GetCurrentTrackInfo now returns an array as it should have:

; 0: Sample Rate in khz

; 1: Bitrate

; 2: Number of Channels

; 3: Video LOWORD=w HIWORD=h

; 4: Video Description

; 5: Sample rate in hz

; Added 4 new UDFs: _WinampGetPan, _WinampSetPan, _WinampGetEq and _WinampSetEq.

Enjoy,

Erion

Sorry to revive this old topic, but I really need one question answered. Why isn't there option for getting mute state? I searched other forums winamp-related, and I found nothing on the IPC_GET_MUTE state. Any ideas how to get mute state?

[somdcomputerguy]

Any ideas how to get mute state?

I use _Winamp_GetVolume(), like this..

Func ToggleMute()
    If _Winamp_GetVolume() = 0 Then
        If $WinampTempVolume <> 0 Then
            _Winamp_SetVolume($WinampTempVolume)
        Else
            _Winamp_SetVolume(85)
        EndIf
    Else
        $WinampTempVolume = _Winamp_GetVolume()
        _Winamp_SetVolume(0)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Basically, it mutes if it's not already muted, or sets the volume back to whatever it was before a mute.. I don't think this is exactly what you're after, but maybe this'll help?

Tnx, but that's not good solution for me. I'm making remote control on my android device, remote control for winamp on PC, and server on PC (autoit-based) should control winamp and send all winamp data back to my android device. I would like to get REAL winamp mute state, that way I could use different icons on android device for mute and non mute state, also disable scrollbar for volume control on android if winamp is muted.

aww I thought this loaded up the database of winamp Library

misleading name.Z

other than that, Some fine coding I see here!
