Im running a Pentium M 1.8 Ghz. Also tested on a Celeron M 1.5Ghz and it runs fine, with GPS, two RR's, two winamps, and playing a video clip on one screen.

Havent tested with both RR's playing separate video clips yet though.

My system is running nLited XP with a custom shell app which launches the two RR instances, so that would help with resource usage.

so how do you get RR to load 2 separate instances of Winamp?
and how do you set which one is controlled at what time?

I want 1 winamp playing music.
I want the other winamp running a vis plugin, monitoring the soundcard Line-In for its beatdetection and outputting the Vis as an embedded RR window...possible?

You have to have 2 copies of RR (you can point them to the same music/videos/skins and applications). Then on RR.INI you have to set the winampclass= each should control (just choose any 2 unique names) -- this is in readme.txt. Then just make sure one of the shortcuts to run RR has a in the parameters /2 so it can launch while the other RR is already running.

So not able to have Dual winamp control for single RR?

The second winamp doesnt even need to be controllable.. just set the input=linein and then Turn the Vis On and Off.

This support was built in order to better support a dual monitor setup, there was never an intention to control 2 winamps at once.

If you run the second winamp manually you can start it directly with linein input, however, there will be no way to control the VIS from RR, you'd have to do it manually as well.

Hey Guino, any chance of modifying RR so that an external app (like zoomplayer) can be used to play videos, rather than media player classic? This would allow multiple instances of RR to play different videos at the same time. At the moment each RR instance fights over the player.

does it have any control API/SDK ? If not, then I'm not even going to look at it.. it was a pain in the A$$ to make the interface for MPC already. If I'm to integrate anything now, it better have an SDK.

may be a chance for zoomplayer

Hey Guino, Not sure if this may help you as I'm not sure what P3rv3rt B3ar coded his plugin in for zoomplayer to work with Xlobby, but I would think he knows how to talk Zoomplayer and that may be a way around the need for an SDK.

If you have 3 soundcards, you should be able to do that.
