This is just exactly what I came here to ask.

1. What is that little TV normally supposed to do?
and,
2. You know what I thought it was? A screenshot capture. I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but I still think winamp should have a screenshot capture plug-in.

Thanks!

1. The little TV button is (or supposed to be) a shortcut to the SHOUTcast TV section of Online Services in the Media Library.

2. If you are getting a bank or black screen while trying a screen capture (via the Print Screen key or otherwise). Try disabling Winamp's video overaly...

1. Winamp > Ctrl+P
2. General Preferences > Video
3. uncheck 'Allow hardware video overlay'

Tip: While the vid window is in focus use ALT+'Print Screen' to take a shot of just the vid window.
