Can girder intercept winamp control messages?

[Ron]

I don't think you can do that without programing something for it. Sounds a little complicated. But you can use 2 Girders one controlling the other. And the remote girder controlling winamp.

It would need some special plugin to detect the window messages from mp3 manager. It would be very close to the command capture if you have some programing experience you could look into that.

Second time in 2 minutes that I suggest someone to look around the uICE proggy from MediaTexx

http://www.mediatexx.com/addons.htm

It's a proggy that can be compared to Girder from what I read and someone wrote an add-on that describes itself this way

"uICE Remote Control Client for the Winamp MP3 Player is a TCP/IP client which connects to the uICE server to control
Winamp with your remote control. You do not have to configure uICE to
send keystrokes to Winamp anymore. Just install this general purpose
plugin, tell it which commands from your remote you want to use and
that's it. It has a Direct Playlist Access feature with OnScreenDisplay,
which allows you to jump to tracks directly with the 0..9 buttons just
like a CD player.

The uICE RCC configuration dialog can be accessed as usual from the
Winamp General Plugin configuration or directly from the uICE main menu. "

Newbie question. I want to use a 3rd party mp3 manager (called mp3 manager) to control a remote winamp session using tcp/ip. Assuming that mp3 manager sends windows messages to a local instance of winamp, is it possible to intercept these messages and send them to a remote instance of winamp (using winlirc, I suppose).

I can see how one girder on the local machine could send messages to one on the remote, which would control the winamp session. I also see how girder intercepts keyboard/mouse/ir events. I suppose what I would need would be a way for girder to intercept wm_command & wm_user messages sent to a specified window handle (in my example, winamp). With this ability, I could

1. run mp3 manager & winamp on local client machine
2. run winamp on remote machine
3. intercept wm_command or wm_user messages sent from mp3 manager to local winamp process.
4. Send such messages over to remote machine.

Looked at mediatexx. Yes, it is like girder, though not quite what I need. What I would like is a way to allow 3rd part application (not a remote control) a way to control a remote winamp. Looks like its time for me to brush on the win32 api and get a compiler. Hopefully I won't have to wrestle with MFC
