Profiles to Winamp 5.

[mikkokh]

Top reason that I DO NOT use winamp to watchin Video files is that i think that same Window, Skin and other settings give me alot of job in multi filetype (Audio & Video) use.

When i use Winamp in Audio use, i like that window is normal sized - But when i begin use it to watchin Videos i want use small window (Or should i say: "control bar" - and maby autohide mode when no mouse move and Video is fullscreen) without i should change settings manualy.

Also i would like that i can play 1 Audio file + 1 Video file in same time (2 Winamp 5 interfaces), but when i select other Audio or Video file from Windows Explorer, it would replace current Audio or Video without opening 2:nd Audio or Video interface.

Any hope for this idea?

workaround:

i think the window position & size is saved in winamp.ini so you could use a winamp.ini for video and one for music ;)

you could change the files manually or by batch:

video.bat:

copy "C:\program files\winamp\profiles\video.ini" "C:\program files\winamp\winamp.ini" /Y

and for the music:

audio.bat

copy "C:\program files\winamp\profiles\audio.ini" "C:\program files\winamp\winamp.ini" /Y

the /Y supresses the question to overwrite the current file (profile).

of course you first have to create those files, either manually by typing all the options in the ini-file or (for sure the better way) set up your winamp for audio, save as audio.ini in %winampfolder%\profiles\audio.ini. the same with video.

have fun ;)

edit: make sure to copy the batch-command above in one line, not in two how the forum likes to display on my screen..

A better solution: Winamp Profiler (http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=75155)

I have now this plugin installed, but it bug me that i have two profiles in same logon name. I think that this can't use many profiles in same logon - only differend logon has it's own profile. Is this right?

Next step is try that "Manual profile changin" (Gived by TRex2003).

Thank you both!

You can have multiple profiles under the same login.

I wouldn't recommend the manual method as there are more prefrence locations than just winamp.ini. Plus, as is, it won't let you save changes to the profiles.

But, how i can change Winamp Profile with command line or automaticaly depending filetype (Audio or Video)? Is only possibly use keyboad shotcut to go profile window and change it manualy?

Thanks!

If you right-click the Winamp window, there is a menu for profile mode.

You can't make it auto-switch, though.

Better that none, but command line support would be highly required. So, seems that i would to be test also that first tweak - or maby try control using Girder.
