Winamp play/pause question

[Ron]

Are you 1000000% percent sure that the target is correct ? Because programs do crash if you send the wrong window messages to them, girder is no exception to this rule.

[Ron]

What does this message do ? (give link to info and summarize) If winamp responds to this with a message back or something that could mess up girder. Did it used to work in an older version ?

[Ron]

Quail send me your .gml file. Please also mention where I can find the command in question in your tree.

[Ron]

I tested your .gml file and it works just fine for me. What version of winamp and Girder are you using ?

[Ron]

I have 2.79 and it works just fine, what Girder version do you have, what windows version... give as much info as possible.

[jediperry]

Try something like this (http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=977).

OK, I'm a bit short of time so the best thing would be if you save this (http://www.cus.org.uk/~pez/WAplaycont.GML) and import it into your winamp group. You should just need to relearn one of the events in the multigroup with a key from your remote and it should work.

Pass... Ron?

Not to stifle the techno-geek in us all, but I just run PlayPause.exe from the Winamp Control Executables http://www.winamp.com/plugins/detail.jhtml?componentId=29828
which also has the advantage of launching winamp if it isn't already open (which I like)

From the winamp API docs:

int ret=SendMessage(hwndWinamp,WM_USER, data, id);

id=104 Returns the status of playback. If 'ret' is 1, Winamp is playing. If 'ret' is 3, Winamp is paused. Otherwise, playback is stopped.

By the way, this works fine for me.
I've got the target window set up as follows:
-Nothing checked except Class Name.
-Class Name=Winamp v1.x

[mattwire]

Can you send me your gml as well. There's a couple of things I want to check to see whether they cause problems.

[SouthyPar]

Yeah, but it's really not difficult to make Girder start Winamp if it is needed, so no big advantage there.

It gives me the following error:

Title: Girder
Window Type: Message Box
Icon Type: Error
Buttons: OK
Error Text: Access violation at address 00403CB7 in module 'Girder.exe'. Read of address 00000001

This error pop-ups when using the SendMessage v1.51 with parameters:

Can you tell what is the problem? I'm using girder 3.1 with WindowsXP

[Quail]

yeah - I triple checked by using the "find window" button in the taget select window.

[Quail]

Is there a soultion to my problem then? is it a bug? :-?

[Quail]

Sent.

[Quail]

Tested it on 2.79 and 2.8, didn't work on either.

Hey guys,
I just got my PB reciever and am setting everything up to my liking, mostly for winamp, and have a question for you. I want to designate 1 button to play/pause so that it goes something like this:
with winamp open->
1)hit the button and winamp plays
2)while playing hit button, pauses winamp
3)while paused hit button, resumes playing

I'm sure that there's a way to do this, but I am still trying to figure things out, so I am hoping someone can walk me through the process so I can finish my winamp configuration. So far the program seems to be working great although it's a tad confusing at times. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give me.

ok I tried to follow those directions the best that I could but still no go(the first set). It keeps saying command not found. Thanks for the help so far. I can't quite understand how to do the part at the bottom of the page(link) so if you could try and clarify that I would appreciate it greatly.

[nate]

thank you so much! It works awesome now!

that file doesnt work 4 me. when i press the button, it restarts the song instead of pausing it. if i highlight the song and press the button, it plays. so, just the pause doesnt work. its seems like checkstate isnt doing its job.
