Winamp5 and jump to nlaylist number

[samblake]

Hi,

I'm sure there must be some easy way of doing this but I just can't find it in the forums anywhere. How can I have it so that if I type a number (like 21 or something) with my remote it will go to that number track in the playlist in winamp5. I have numbuilder and can make that work and everything but what do I actually send to winamp. Do I need aplug in for it or something? Thanmks.

look at the exported ground section.. there is a group called numbuilder that should help you.

This not quite so simply (AFAIK). You will need to use a sendmessage command to tell winamp to change to the currently playing song. Are you familiar with the winamp sdk at all? Maybe one of the exported groups has some more info for you..

search these forums for winamp and sdk, or just go straight to winamp's site under developer and get the SDK. there's a sendmessage command where you send it the playlist number and then it plays it. use a numbuilder to get the track #, then use the sendmessage command to tell winamp the number you just got

Thanks, the really helped. The thread at http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1981 really helped. The problem is the numbuilder in the example stores the number in the registry [reg1]. How can I get sendmessage to send this value? It doesn't seem to allow me to put numbers in so the ebst I can mannage is [reg]!. Thanks.

Great.


In case you are interested, there is a Winamp scripting plugin that will allow alot of neat control from lua (Girder's script language).

awesome mike.

i might can use this in conjunction with XP OSD to display the album art via winamp, or even try to build a menu OSD with album art.... rather than using what's already available (that might be too big of a project, but we'll see). good stuffs, good stuffs.
