api_queue & C#

[martinyyyy]

Hi there,

I'm writing a small server app in C# which is controlling Winamp. I used WACC until now, but I would like to use jfte and the queue, but the jfte SDK is completely useless for me because it uses WASABI and stuff.. is there any other way to communicate with the plugin?

Like with winamp itself with SendMessage?

there was a sendmessage based api with the plug-in though i only officially support the wasabi based setup now and basically moved all of my own handling over to it inside the plug-in. some parts might still work but until i can check the jtfe source code there's not too much i can offer on such things (am snowed under with work at the moment so won't be for another week or so until i can check things).

Ohh allright.. only thing I need to know is what songs are in the queue. Would be awesome if you can tell me if this possible!

(I think queuing songs and stuff can be achieved by a workaround without the need of an API)

i know it's viable with the api_queue interface though at the moment i don't remember exposing it via a sendmessage interface

that does sort of defeat the whole point of the api though maybe i should have made a more formal old style interface but with the wasabi services being the general way newer apis are done in Winamp it made more sense for me to go that way. guess i can never win *shrugs*

with "a workaround" a meant selecting a song in the playlist with the normal winamp functions and then sending the Q key to the app.. very *dirty* but should do the job.

Could u link me the SendMessage API and I maybe I can mess around a bit and find something usefull for me.

that's been tried a few times from what i remember and it never quite worked properly as there's no real way to select an item in the playlist editor (unless you're faking mouse clicks, etc which is just going a bit too far).

i'll post back when i've had a chance to look at the source code but it's going to be at least a week before i can find the time to look through that.

Oh u are right.. I thought it works with

code:
IPC_SETPLAYLISTPOS = 121

but well.. it selects a track but not in the same way like a user does with the mouse.

would be awesome! thanks

[martinyyyy]

any news?

[DrO]

nope and the way it's looking i'm just not able to give a time scale now for even trying to look at the source / sorting something out (is the fun of work vs freetime projects).

Just curious, did you find some time to look at the source?

[DrO]

(had forgotten about this thread). there's not a SendMessage(..) way to get the items from the queue, is purely via the wasabi api_queue method.
