Winamp Skin Development Pack 5.9 [2022/08/22]

[clementj]

I notice that there are 2 versions of onTitleChange. There is:
System.onTitleChange(String newtitle)
and
System.onTitle2Change(String newtitle2)

Whatis the difference??????
It is not documented.

[pjn123]

The difference is that...
System.onTitle2Change(String newtitle2)
... doesnt work

I think in the winamp3 days it was posible for the system to see what the next file will be... Doesnt work in winamp5.

[clementj]

THank you. Ok, but at present onTitleChange doesn't work correctly as I have documented elsewhere. onTitleChange is always triggered when a track starts playing, not when the track changes. It used to work. So I was wondering if they had put the old function on the Title2change!

Why is onTitle2Change still in the std file if it doesn't work??? Actually I would be happy if there were a function to return the name of the next track to play, and another for the last track in the playlist. And if the tags were available for the current track, whether it is playing or not. At present things like the length are only available while playing, but obviously it is available somewhere in the guts of Winamp.

Hi Pimousse38
1) Did you compiled Winamp Modern Skin, with new config.mi and std.mi from Winamp Skin Development Pack 1.0?

2) When I compile this 1 file is not created: notifications_fade_times.maki
What file I have to compile to create this?
Thanks

Ps: What with MAKI compiler for UTF-16 scripts?

1) Yes, no problem

2) Because, there is no script file notifications_fade_times.m

Yes, there is no notifications_fade_times.m file in scripts directory. But there is compiled maki file with the same name. I wanted to compile it by myself.

[Pimousse38]

thanks martin

The list of metadata tags is very handy, but some of them do not seem to work. "genre" and "srate" return as a null string. "stereo" only returns 1 or 0 for MP3 files, and null for FLAC, wave, and MP4. I assume that "srate" should return the conversion frequency. "bitrate" appears to work OK. With this it is possible to have the info displayed even when the current track is not being played, but since some info is missing or the tag name is possibly not correct in the list, this is still not possible. "length", "title", "comment" all appear to work well.

[clementj]

With a little more work, I found that "srate" does work, but only for MP3. The problem I saw with genre was fixed when I spotted my misspelling of genre. It seems that the metadata tags are only fully suppored for MP3.

[martin.deimos]

you might be right, since the list was taken out of in_mp3 if i remember right

[martin.deimos]

btw, notifications_fade_times.m was never distributed along w/ winamp5 - so i havn't this file

[clementj]

It is evident that the metadata needs to be uniformly handled in the other formats. My requirements are for srate, and stereo to be handled the same. All other things I have tested seem to work the same way. I suspect that VBR does not work.

[clementj]

As I suspected VBR only works for MP3. But "srate" used to work for MP3, and now does not work for any of the formats I have tested MP4, wave, &FLAC.
