Playing video from the taskbar

maasneotek · 18th July 2005, 22:50

IF it werent for this singular feature I would do away with the bloated program alltogether.There is only one reason that i keep Microsofts ghastly media player around, it has the terribly cool function of being able to play video in the task bar.

As far as i know there is no way, plugin or no to achieve this in Winamp. Am i correct?
Is this something others are looking for too? I have been looking for a good plugin that might be considered worthwhile to develop. thoughts?

I thought this more a gimmick than an actual feature.

yeah, but i do that with always on top.

I can either collapse all the winanmp windows i dont need, or just close them (hiding the winamp main window with alt+w). then I just have the video window open, and sat on top of all my other windows. Of course, I can also move it to where ever I want on the screen that way too.
