WinAmp visualizations in Windows Media Player (almost working)

**NoPistonPC** · 07-23-2004, 02:16 AM

vcbb5, i haven't implemented the fullscreen code yet, but it can be done. Currently, the windowed mode will only work if you ckeck "integrate with winamp". I have a bad habit of leaving things unfinished (mostly due to the lack of free time). But, I promise to finish this up since it's not going to be too hard. At the least, I will make sure it works with FrodoPlayer. (it will have to wait until after this weekend though)

EDIT: I just tried it out with FrodoPlayer, and it actually works fine (in non-fullscreen mode). My config file looks like this (but I don't think there is anything in there of any relevance...try deleting your current milkdrop config file...it will generate a new one):

(milkdrop_config.ini)

[settings]
nMainWndTop=60
nMainWndLeft=32
nMainWndRight=272
nMainWndBottom=204
avs_wx=0
avs_wy=0
avs_ww=240
avs_wh=144

What I did was to make sure that "integrate with with winamp" was checked in the config screen (I changed the config through winamp, then uninstalled winamp...this doesn't affect milkdrop which probably uses the registry). Then I ran WMP and selected the MilkDrop Vis. Then, I quit WMP and ran FrodoPlayer, and it ran MilkDrop in the vis window without any problems. When I have some time, I will try to make this process a lot simpler.

yeah, the integrating part works great

NoPistonPC,

This is absolutely not a "put down" on your awesome work, but I have been using TwistedPixel with WMP/FrodoPlayer for about 2 months now, using MilkDrop visualisations.

Just another approach

Any updates on this? I would really like to use all of the Visualizations of Winamp in WMP

I'll get to this soon, I promise.

Do you have a list of your favorite viz's? I'll get those working first.

sorry for leaving this half finished guys... for those of you that don't feel like waiting until i get my act together, i can send you the VC++ source.

The good news is that I finally finished molding my screen into the dash a few weeks ago, so I still have motivation to finish this up (as well my HeadUnit linux frontend)...

Would it be possible to make them into a directshow filter? Someone else on this forum said they would have a go, but i don't believe anything ever happened.
