Issues getting AjaxAMP to work

Hi all.

I'm having trouble getting the AjaxAMP plugin to work. Whenever I launch Winamp and go into the AjaxAMP settings, my IP address has reset to 0.0.0.0. If I change it, click OK, then restart Winamp or shut down my computer and turn it back on next time I use it, it's back to 0.0.0.0.

So I downgraded from Winamp 5.8 to 5.666 but I still have this issue.

Any suggestions?

It uses local host for the server port, not your IP.

@NJK Any chance you can add the archive link for the FAQ to the OP ?
I guess it is still needed after all, and will explain how to use it via a web browser.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I meant that in the AjaxAMP settings, the Server IP address reverts back to 0.0.0.0 upon starting Winamp. It's as if the settings are not being retained. Anyone have this issue before?

I don't use this, but if it's a plugin sometimes they need to be run as admin when installed.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.
Follow the instructions on the site and all will work fine.
The Ajax server is hosted via local host, so you access it via 0.0.0.0. or 127.0.0.1
You do not put your IP in there if you are just using it on a regular LAN setup.

Ooooh. This makes sense, I will try this ASAP.

[Dr.Flay]

Yeah worth doing, but it has installed or it would not be available in Winamp.

The IP address is supposed to be 0.0.0.0


BTW NJK you copied the shortened link text for the archived site.
The front page may be better anyway

Hate to break it to you but you did the same again and copied the shortened displayed link not what you get when you right-click on it.
I will add the URL as the name so the forum shows it properly

***EDIT***
OK that didn't work, you will have to right-click. The forum software always shortens long links

It would be awesome if this worked with AIMP too

BTW. MrSinatra, an ad-hoc wifi tool for android https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.szym.barnacle/

looks like this is no more...

what i need is a phone and way to do a free hotspot on Cricket. android, iphone, whatever.

in addition, it would be good if there was a way to do ad hoc wifi spots.

i probably could dedicate an old phone to be a permanent ad hoc wifi spot in my car, which is the main place i need it.
