Retrieving the Playlist info

rickcau · 1st April 2002, 20:26

I am working on a C# assembly that I plan on calling from ASP.Net to remotely control WinAMP. I know this has been done with httpQ.

Anyway, I have a lot of the features working, but I cannot find anything in the SDK docs that explain how to enumerate the current Playlist.

I found the message that writes the current playlist to winamp.m3u. This means that I would have to open and read winamp.m3u. I am looking for a message that returns all the items in the playlist.

Just like httpQ does for it's GETPLAYLISTTITLE.

***********************************************************
GETPLAYLISTTITLE (requires Winamp 2.04+)

action: returns the title of the playlist entry at index 'argument'.
note: if no argument is specified, returns a list of all the titles in the playlist seperated by '<br>'.
argument: index in the list from which to retrieve title.
note: the list is zero indexed so track 1 is 0.
return: Title of track or 0 on error.
example: http://localhost:4800/getplaylisttitle?p=pass&a=1 (get title at list index 1)
or
http://localhost:4800/getplaylisttitle?p=pass (get a list of titles)

I'm assuming your a plugin, because that is the only way to do it. There is a plugin I use called VbCom I think, or WinampCom, that makes a VB object, that does the same thing, then I call that and request the playlist, entry by entry, you know how many there are because that is another call you can make. If you do this yourself, I think there is an API call that will tell you the Song Title, and Song Filename for each entry using index, but I cant do this because I use VB, and I cant make a direct plugin, I can use a wrapper, but then I'm THE dll that needs to make the call, genwrapper is, and it still doesnt work for me. So, yeah

Use the API that gets the Title, then just increment it through the entire playlist
