AAMP- Advanced AutoIt Media Player

This is the all new version of AAMP... Give it a go.

Current Version: 2.0.0.4

Last Updated: 15 July 2009

Download Link

This version of AAMP (should be) so much better than the old one!

All New Features

• I have re-written the library to use a SQLite Database.
• Added new features
• WebControl Interface
• Allows you to control AAMP from any computer, anywhere (provided the correct ports are fowarded.)
• Password protected for security and peace of mind (so that no one will change your favourite song!)

• Skinnable interface
• Lets you change certain elements of the design, making your media player suite your style.
• Icons
• Text
• Background

[*]Lanugauge files

• Allows for localization of text.

• Means users can fix bugs, and add new features (certain conditions apply for this)
• Allows others to learn. I am all for other members to learn how certain things are done.

Massive To-Do List

• Customizable layouts.
  • Don't like the controls in the top left? Why not move them to the bottom right instead! Move certain parts of the interface to suit your liking.
  • This possibly might include a new layout. Currently I'm not very happy with it. Suggestions are extremely welcome!
  • Audio Options
  • Allows the use of EAX Audio Effects and more
• Visualizations
  • Make your music into art with all new visualizations.
  • Allows the use of Sonique, Winamp, Windows Media Player, and BassBox visual plugins.

Thanks must go to

• Achillies- _GetMusicDir()
• MrBond007 -His script "Chip-It" uses BASSMOD.dll to play "ChipTunes"
• WeaponX- File recursive search function
• ProgAndy/eukalyptus for their assitance with BASS.dll library.
• Go Squared Ltd - The creators of the icons used in AAMP.

Nice

It's a bit hard to rate it properly, since so many features are missing but still, good job!

When I went to the download link you gave I got a 1,34 MB big htm file, am I supposed to rename it to something? zip? rar?

It would be nice if you told this before i downloaded it

Edit1: Seems to open when I rename it to zip

Edit2: The library definatively need more work, it gives lots of array subscript errors and some items is without text etc.... In general it's a cool media player but it needs a bit more work

Run it, add media, and then it gives array dimension range exceeded.

Should prompt to download the .zip. I'll have a look at it.

Should prompt to download the .zip. I'll have a look at it.

I don't know if it matters but I am using Opera 9.52 on WindowsXP Home SP3

[BrettF]

I think my whole download system is a bit dodgey. I'll have to work on it later, when I'm not at school, and work out why it says the file is a JPG image when I download... Something to do with MIME.

@TehWhale- I mentioned this in my initial post. I don't have enough time to fully look at it, and the error seems very weird...

[BrettF]

Okay probably fixed the download link. I hope. Give this a whirl and see how we go....

[Pascal257]

Features include:

• jadada
• Online now playing image- lets you tell everyone else what you're listening to. See a sample!

heh, looks familiar to me Edited October 27, 2008 by Pascal257

[TehWhale]

Download was fixed, thanks.

I just like staring at your "Visualations" the progress bars and the wavy line. Very nice I must say

Isn't this suppost to be my now playing image?

It shows random stuff and then Saw IV as the album and stuff?

I'm not sure why you get that now playing, cause that should be mine? I'll have to check that.

Radio station? Not sure why it does that. It just happens, that section needs heaps more work.

EDIT: Fixed the image bug. You can still use that one, except it will be like a global now playing image... Also you must turn it on- Tools -> Web Control -> Web Control Active.

Cheers,

Brett

What you have so far looks really nice. The visualizer is pretty cool.

• Have volume update while dragging, not just when you release drag
• Have seek bar drag too
• I would rather have eject disk just try D:\ automatically, maybe have the button eject default drive and then be able to change the default drive.
• Whenever I click next there is a black box at the bottom right that says "32" and nothing else
• Pause doesn't work
• Somehow my shuffle icon is now the pause icon, I'm not sure what I did
• It looks like nothing happens when you click either the repeat or shuffle button
• Open doesn't work??? I don't like having to go through a wizard just to add a folder
• For repeat, one of the options should be default, they can't all be disabled
• Why can't I move the librarzy wizard window?
• In the add window (under the wizard) I would suggest using a listview instead of a listbox
• I crashed the program, and I don't know what I did
• The program GUI looks pasty, it's too white (I have vista so default background color is whitish)
• Hotkeys
• The first time I started your program and added music, the music didn't show up in the play list, I had to restart the program to see the music I had added

Those are just my suggestions, and my thoughts while I tried your program out.

  Can do that.

• Have seek bar drag too

  When ever I try to seek with Bass it returns errors (from bass.dll). I'll explore getting that working later

• I would rather have eject disk just try D:\ automatically, maybe have the button eject default drive and then be able to change the default drive.

  When I've just started the options GUI, and I will add this in.

• Whenever I click next there is a black box at the bottom right that says "32" and nothing else

  Probably removing that all together. Doesn't really work right, and makes the whole GUI pop up when changing songs.

• Pause doesn't work

  You right. Will change the function soon.

• Somehow my shuffle icon is now the pause icon, I'm not sure what I did

  Fixed.

• It looks like nothing happens when you click either the repeat or shuffle button

  Fixed.

• Open doesn't work??? I don't like having to go through a wizard just to add a folder

  Added that today.

• For repeat, one of the options should be default, they can't all be disabled

  Default will be last item, when I get round to saving program states etc.

• Why can't I move the librarzy wizard window?

  Wowah no idea. Will check that.

• In the add window (under the wizard) I would suggest using a listview instead of a listbox

  Why? What else would I want to show?

• I crashed the program, and I don't know what I did

  It crashes a lot with the radio (some issues and I don't know why.) If you can try make it crash again that would be great

• The program GUI looks pasty, it's too white (I have vista so default background color is whitish)

  I have tried to add some images and stuff in with other parts of the program. Will work on making it nice too

• Hotkeys

  Do exist. For a list, goto Help -> Shortcuts.

• The first time I started your program and added music, the music didn't show up in the play list, I had to restart the program to see the music I had added

  Well that is a definite change from the program crashing...

Those are just my suggestions, and my thoughts while I tried your program out.

Thanks for that. See the quote for responses...

I will try to upload a later version soon!

[Achilles]

In the add window (under the wizard) I would suggest using a listview instead of a listbox

Why? What else would I want to show?

If the item in the list is long you can't see the full title.

The images you have now are great, since I didn't say that in my first post.

The Help -> Shortcuts does nothing. Unless you uploaded a new version... I'll try dl again.

I really should be doing homework instead of testing this. You picked a horrible release date.

[BrettF]

Hah okay that confirms that I released an earlier version that I thought. Just finishing some stuff now. Will try to upload it on dialup speed.

And Achilles, do you homework

[BrettF]

Well with a closer look at the library function it makes no sense why the GUI can't be moved. Unless I missed a style...

Uploading now. Download links will be changed when upload is complete.

EDIT: Download link updated. V0.0.0.3 Released!

Edited October 28, 2008 by BrettF

[BrettF]

Updated!

V0.0.0.4

Added Edit Song GUI
Program now stores settings in the registry... The settings GUI still to come.
Fixed Volume on startup being weirdly louder than max...
Fixed slider to actually change position.
Updated functions to be fully using BASS.au3 UDF.

PLEASE NOTE!

Program now stores settings in the registry under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Signa5\AAMP".

EDIT: Style of post was mucked up...
