How to get unicode files in input plug-in?

[a2534838]

For transcoding and metadata there are "winampGetExtendedRead_openW" and "winampGetExtendedFileInfoW" but how can I open unicode files for playback, "int play(char* fn)" does not seem to have a wide version also fn is not UTF8 encoded I only get ??? for unicode chars.

How do I get the unicode filenames for "In_Module" methods?

If you look at the IN2.h header definition from the latest SDK you'll see that the parameter is not defined as char * but as in_char * instead:



#ifdef UNICODE_INPUT_PLUGIN
#define in_char wchar_t
#define IN_VER (IN_UNICODE | 0x100)
#else
#define in_char char
#define IN_VER 0x100
#endif



...

int (*Play)(const in_char *fn);




You need to define a global compiler directive UNICODE_INPUT_PLUGIN somewhere in your plugin project.

Thanks, you're right the plug-in I'm working on still had an old header.
