looking for a interesting plugin
 

is there a plugin (that i seem to cant find) out there that will let you press some kind of hotkey type in something and hit the hotkey again and then eqnue it into your palylist

ie usualy when i want to change my playlist i open my media library type in an aritst name and hit play then go back to what i was doing, for all my other winamp functions i have ctrl+alt+something to do things liek change songs, itd be cool to do the same thing or similar to search my media library and play songs that come up in the result

seriously? you mean like jtfe that has been packaged with winamp for some time now.... hit J

[edit]sorry, typed before i finished reading.... try quicktracks, but no, there isnt anything like jtfe for media library short of opening up ML itself

Sounds like a job for ActiveWinamp.

/edit Yes, found it (the forum turns part of the wiki link into a smiley.

playlist_build_a_new_playlist_based_on_a_medialibrary_query

' created by Hyfen

query = InputBox("Enter a query")

if len(query ) > 0 then
mlq = medialibrary.runqueryarray(query)

for each track in mlq
track.enqueue
next

end if
quit


/edit changed script so it wouldn't clear the current playlist
Wiki

this looks useful but im confused of how to use it

[edit]I cant get script to work!

install activewinamp, find the CVS(latest build of activewinamp) and save/replace existing file in your program files\winamp\plugins\ folder.

save my attachment (.txt file) and save as a (.vbs file) save it to your program files\winamp\plugins\scripts\ folder. restart winamp and it should be in your right click menu.

and the awesome thing about activewinamp is that shane supports hotkeys for any script.

[edit]i just tested script with WA5.21 and v1.24 of activewinamp, and it doesnt work.

That's weird. It works for me. I'm using AW v1.0 beta with 5.21. Is it displaying the input box at all?

Install AW from here.

Replace the .dll from the installation (Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\activewinamp.dll) with this more recent CVS version.

Complicated, but at least it isn't as hard to find the CVS version as it used to be.

/edit p.s. The query as typed in the input box doesn't need to have a question mark at the beginning, ie where in the media library you'd type ?artist has "warmer corners", in the input box just type artist has "warmer corners".
