Winamp DDE controls from zMUD?
 
Is there a way to control winamp from zMUD using DDE? If so, can anyone help me out with the syntax for the command? Thanks

This isn't what you were looking for BUT this is what I did, fairly simple:

#PICK {p:What song do you want to hear?} {o:1} {Test:#VAR Song test.mp3} {Test2:#VAR Song test2.mp3}

#DDE iexplore WWW_OpenURL {c:music@Song}


You use the PICK command to add your entries of songs and after selecting them internet explorer will load and use the associated mp3 player to open that song. I use Opera as a browser and all you have to do is have it open, which it usually is anyways when I'm mudding. At any rate, that'll start up a song. :)

I wonder if someone could make a trigger / alias set that reads your playlist and gives it to you in list form as a pick what song u want to hear..that'd be impressive

That works perfectly... but only if the filename is one word... what do I put around the filename if it's more than one word?

I believe that Winamp also has COM support and I think that you would not only be able to play/stop/pause/etc Winamp, you could also get the playlist and all that stuff. However, I don't know the COM implementation of Winamp so I wouldn't know how to access it from zMUD.

I'll look into that, but could you help me out with the one word thing in the meantime? I tried

{Test: #VAR Song "Word1 - Word2.mp3"}

But it plays C:music"Word1 - Word2.mp3"

and I tried

{Test: #VAR Song 'Word1 - Word2.mp3'}

But it plays C:musicWord1-Word2.mp3

this topic is long old, but winamp have released a set of exe's for basic control of winamp (useful for proggies that have a DDE interface). go to winamp.com and drop into the general purpose plugins, what you're after is "Winamp Control Executables". these give you play, pause, next and previous.

install the files into winamps folder (example c:program fileswinamp), then in zmud make some simple alias's.

#alias {play} {#dde "c:program fileswinampplaypause.exe}
#alias {pause} {#dde "c:program fileswinampplaypause.exe}
#alias {previous} {#dde "c:program fileswinampprev.exe}
#alias {stop} {#dde "c:program fileswinampstop.exe}

Why oh WHY did I have pass door on...
