Playlist Loader 0.9.9.8f - 06/12/2005 (supports B4S ASX WPL WAX WVX WMX & mms://)

[DrO]

Playlist Loader v0.9.9.8 RC5 (formerly known as B4S Playlist Loader)


This is based on the old 0.8.3 version of the B4S Playlist Loader plugin (the original thread and the last version 0.8.3 is here) and it has undergone a few minor and also some major changes...

• Better integrates into the open/add file dialogs in the main window and playlist editor repsectively
• Basic ml support to now add the playlists in under the 'Playlist' entry in the ml's left pane
• Added asx, wvx and wax format support (hence the plugin name change)
• auto /.wma append for the entries in the asx/wvx/wax files so in_wma will be correctly used to decode them (in_dshow ain't great for them at times)

Note: with the new formats, if there are .asx files referenced in them then all you will get is an asx entry, there's no handling for the moment to retrieve the file and then read it's contents.

If you get a crash then please let me know the exact crash report, what you were doing, system specs, etc and if possible the playlist file you were trying to load (since it helps me at least try to fix things)

get v0.9.9.8 RC5


------------------------------------------


The aims for the plugin are to do:::

• downloading of embedded playlists in the asx/wvx/wax files
• wpl support (soon i think )
• drag and drop support handling (not sure how much of this will work though)
• control over how different playlists are/aren't handled unlike at the moment
• tighter Winamp integration since it's not quite native enough for my liking!

Enjoy!

Man, after all the thousands of posts about asx and mms streams, I can't believe that this awesome plugin hasn't received a better reaction/response than this :/

ujay: can you try both of the versions in the attached file (don't worry about the .map files, they're there so i don't lose them on my end )

the normal named one has the ml integration disabled whilst the _enabled one has it enabled

Hey Darren!
I've been away from the forums for a week or so (no posting during that time). But awesome! You finally got the multiple playlist loader developed. GREAT JOB!!

I haven't tried it yet on this old Win95 box I have, but I'm sure it'll work just fine.

[ujay]

First ones o.k. but not tested.
Second one(enabled) crashes Offset: 00002541

I don't have the ML installed if that might be significant.

[DrO]

yeah, it's a crash with the check i was doing on the ml window (if not there it was return 1 and i hadn't done an extra check to ensure that i was receiving a valid window)

try the attached test build 2

Nunz: i said it'd be done and there's a few more things planned to improve the Winamp integration in

[ujay]

Looks o.k. as far as start up goes, get an Error 1, but assume that is debugging help.
There are a couple of issues with use but I've not got time to give it a good going over yet, just getting ready to go out, I've got a gig tonight.
Will get back to you when I've had time to sort out what's what

UJ

[DrO]

That's fine, hope you have a good gig!!

How do you use it? Playlist Loader v0.9.2.1

I loaded this into Winamp hoping I could play a Windows .asx file. Can I do that? If so, what am I missing? The plugin appears in the General list of plugins but I'm too dense to know what to do. I put an http with .asx ending into the Playlist Editor Window but all I get is an error.

[DrO]

at the moment you can't add in http://blah.asx files. it's current design is to handle playlists stored locally on your machine and then you load it into the playlist via the open/add file(s) dialogs.

i'm working on drag+drop and also external open/enqueue support which should allow for asx, etc to be associated with Winamp and then auto-expanded into the actual streams, etc that are in the file.

so for the moment, you'd need to save the http://blah.asx to your hard drive and then load it into the playlist where it'll then show the contents of the asx correctly (i hope)
