Ipc_writeplaylist

[alamata]

hey,...

here is the situation ,..;

i would like simply to save a playlist in a specific directory without a GUI intervention,...

i take a look at the wa_ipc.h in the sdk
and i've found

#define IPC_WRITEPLAYLIST 120

int cur = SendMessage(hwnd_winamp,WM_WA_IPC,0,IPC_WRITEPLAYLIST);

and

HWND hwndWinamp =FindWindow(L"Winamp v1.x", NULL);


but i can't use that at this moment,...:

what is the way to be able to use that "command"

for saving a playlsit in a specific directory without GUI intervention,...

thanks for your comprehension,...

[alamata]

i have try an other way too,...

using gen_scripting.dll

from http://www.pretentiousname.com/gen_scripting/index.html

i have try this,...in a vbscript file

code:
option explicit

Dim winamp

Set winamp = CreateObject("gen_scripting.WinAmp")

winamp.ButtonStop

it is ok,...

but with

code:
option explicit

Dim winamp

Set winamp = CreateObject("gen_scripting.WinAmp")

winamp.WritePlaylist()

i have no result,...

what is wrong ?.....

the documentation for IPC_WRITEPLAYLIST isn't quite right now so..

IPC_WRITEPLAYLIST works by saving winamp.m3u8/m3u into the ini directory which is usually %appdata%\Winamp or %winampdir% (which is the program folder) or a custom winamp m3u directory (all of this is controlled by paths.ini in the winamp folder). this will most likely explain why you're not seeing anything being created as you're looking in the wrong location (something to be fixed in the documentation at some point).

if done with an in-process plug-in then it's simple to get the correct path for winamp.m3u8/m3u. however as you're doing it externally from what i can gather, you can either use a ReadProcessMemory(..) based method to access the in-process functions from an external dll or just parse the paths.ini entries as required to get the correct path.
