winamp Thread last updated on 2003-03-29 13:46:56

for some odd reason, geekamp and dynamp plugins dont work on my computer.

i have to manually turn on the winamp to make the plugin work.

any suggestions?

and my evar matches my file path..

that would be the only thing that will not open winamp when you click open. Make sure your path points directly to the file and is enclosed in quotes if need be.

hmmm it is.

Did you make sure your theme runs the evar?

Make sure you have WinampPath set. $AudioPlayer$ isn't enough. And of course PlayNotOpen should NOT be set, otherwise geekamp won't open winamp on !amp_play.

i did the winamppath but it still doesnt work for some reason.

and when i press !amp_show, this tiny window pops out showing "winamp 2.5" when i have 2.81

uninstall winamp completely and install it again :-/
maybe that will help?

Posted by member 5836 on 2003-03-24 22:35:32 link

still doesnt work..:S

Maybe you installed 2 versions of Winamp? I dunno...I'm stumped....

Posted by member 1783 on 2003-03-25 02:03:54 link

is this a one-theme-only or a global problem?

Posted by member 13796 on 2003-03-25 03:54:45 link

I'm having the same problem. Double checked evars, paths'n'stuff, and still, the play button just opens winamp. :\ Even when I start winamp manually It wont work. "WinAmp off" is all it displays, even on different themes. Oh well. :( It's possible to remove it completely.

JoEDaddy: do you use 2.81 as well? what does !amp_show display on your box?

Posted by member 13796 on 2003-03-25 15:31:22 link

Winamp 2.81? I use winamp 3 if thats what you mean. :O !amp_show just starts up winamp, like clicking on the shortcut. No little boxes or windows popup(other than winamp). I've tried this on a couple themes, same thing :\ I'm sticking the the 2.1 installer theme for the moment, to see what i can mess with.

The Winamp controls in the installer build does not support Winamp3...downgrade and everything should work fine.

Posted by member 13796 on 2003-03-25 19:29:08 link

Downgraded to 2.81 and everything works fine. Although I have to figure out a way to convert my WinAmp3 playlists(12+ of them) to 2.81 :\ Anyone know of a way other than getting into notepad and editing them by hand?

an m3u is an m3u...its a standardized file

Posted by member 13796 on 2003-03-25 20:06:39 link

Winamp3 is b4s, winamp2 cant read them.

er, nm. Figured out how. =O

Posted by member 7 on 2003-03-26 01:52:31 link

JoEDaddy: search the forum for "dynamp". geekamp only works with winamp2.

Posted by member 18825 on 2003-03-26 12:48:40 link

I was having the same problem. Thanks to this thread I got dynamp and its fixed. The controls work with WinAmp3, but the display on the controls (Simplicity) still show "Winamp off" even though its running. Any ideas on how to get it to work or am I being too picky? Hehee

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-03-28 22:42:17 link

Lairc: I never used Simplicity but I guess it's using literunner.dll to determine when winamp is on and off. Just take a look to see if a line like this exist:
*OnRun "Winamp v1.x" ...
replace it with
*OnRun "Studio" ...

Posted by member 18825 on 2003-03-29 13:46:56 link

I finally gave up, deleted WinAmp3 and went back to version 2. I never used any of the bundled stuff with 3 anyway.
