replay gain IPC

waldomonster · 5th February 2008, 10:58

Is there a way to enable/disable replay gain and change the source (track/album)?
And is there a way to read out the current replay gain status?
I couldn't find anything in the wa_ipc.h file.

not that i'm aware off to enable/disable it - is a user option only from what i remember. i'm not sure if one of the IPC_GET_EXTENDED_FILE_INFO style messages will respond to a replaygain check (or a tag related to that) or maybe one of the ml.h equivalents as an extended data item (isn't an area i've ever properly looked into so am likely to be comepletely wrong).

from memory, the values are stored in the files and in the media library database so if none of the above works you'd need to have your own parser of the tag formats with the files that you're trying to work with to get the information that way.

That is a pity.
Shouldn't this feature on a to do list?

well i think it's a sensible way to deal with it since there's already enough posts by users complaining about audio issues and the like without a 3rd party plugin messing around with those actions which to the user if not in the know would appear as another 'bug'

I don't see that as a problem.
There should be no difference in replay gain or equalizer settings trough IPC calls.
(Equalizer IPC calls are in the current Winamp SDK)
