Here is what I want to do:
I am using OSDmenu to select a playlist for winamp.
I then want to write a Lua script that will create a menufile for the current playlist and load it as a menu - so I can scroll through the available files in the playlist. Selecting the name of the song will then cause winamp to play that file.
I understand how to go about most of this. The part I would like some assistance with is how best to go about getting the current Winamp3 playlist info? Should I bring this into girder/lua as a table? Then write the OSDMenu file? Is there a plugin that already does this. The Winamp3 plugin is pretty slick - but I don't see the ability to read the entire playlist. I believe I would want only the Song Title and duration with the playlist # so that I couldsend the number back to play the song.
Any ideas or direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
