Alrighty. I finally have found a way to check if winamp is already running or not. That was the main reason holding up my script devolepment.

Anyway, enough with the talkin'. Here's the code. (Note it is php5)
WinampCOM version
activeWinamp version
OO (?) version (Class and examples...doesn't actually do anything)

Oh and you'll need this plugin for winamp (or activeWinamp plugin if you want to use activeWinamp [Note ActiveWinamp is needed for OO version]) and php_ffi.dll for php5, and maybe (?) php-5.0.2 (as that is the version I am using).


Be prepared for some rather cool things I may try with this....that is if I can ever finish it.

[edit] Forth version released. This time a more OO style. OO version does not do anything but provide a framework to work..with.... Does not require Winamp to be started when script is loaded. Automaticly finds Winamp...if installed. Starts winamp if it is not running.

Plans/Ideas: Save playlist in a database type thing. Save last song (and position) and play from there instead of beginnning of list. Possibly more OOP type structure. Winamp class that does most of the work and logic instead of overloading the while() loop with endless procedural code. Make GUI to control Winamp using PHP-GTK, Winbinder, or something else.

Unrealistic Plans: Autoclose when script is stopped. (Will likely require WimampCOM source work or new plugin altogether.)

Nice work here, Mr. Snoj.

thanks Mr. Scribe! Your praise is my joy.

anyway, Code slightly updated. Takes up less CPU time now. And tells of status of currently playing song.

Code updated again with some comments at the bottom.

Oh and before I forget. Be sure to change the winamp path in the run() function. It's hard coded for now. Though maybe it will change when/if I move all this over to a php-gtk platform.



[edit]Check my signature out.

i think this might be a prime candidate for the code snippet section josh

Updated code that uses activeWinamp instead. (Does the same as the original.)

Love the OO-ness....at least I think it's OO.

Sorry for the lack of comments, hopefully I'll continue in this php binge and get some phpdocumentor compatible documentation or at least some form of documentation.

It's OO. A little funky, but OO.
