Winamp Automation Library

big_daddy · September 14, 2006

So far its nothing more than the basics, but I plan on adding more funtionality as I have time.

Winamp doesn't have a native com interface so you must install ActiveWinamp for these function to work. I have provided a script that makes this process very easy.

ActiveWinamp Installer

ActiveWinamp_Installer.au3

T0.1-0, 9/13/2006

Winamp.au3

Examples

#include <Date.au3>
#include <Winamp.au3>

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Exit")

$oWinAmp = _WinampCreate("")
If @error Then Exit
$bAttached = @extended

$oEvent = ObjEvent($oWinAmp, "_Event_")

$oPlayList = $oWinAmp.playlist

If $oWinAmp.PlayState <> 1 Then
    If $oWinAmp.Playlist.Count > 0 Then
        $oWinAmp.Play
    EndIf
EndIf

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _Event_ChangedTrack()
    Local $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs, $sLength = "", $sInfo = ""
    
    $oItem = $oPlayList ($oPlayList.position)
    
    $iLength = $oItem.Length
    _TicksToTime ( $iLength*1000, $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs )
    If $iHours Then $sLength &= $iHours & "hrs "
    If $iHours Or $iMins Then $sLength &= $iMins & "mins "
    $sLength &= $iSecs & "secs "
    
    $iRating = $oItem.Rating
    If $iRating = "255" Then $iRating = "Not Rated"
    
    $iPlayCount = $oItem.Playcount
    If $iPlayCount = -1 Then $iPlayCount = "Never Played"
    
    $sInfo &= "Artist: " & $oItem.Artist & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Title: " & $oItem.Title & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Album: " & $oItem.Album & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Genre: " & $oItem.Genre & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Track#: " & $oItem.Track & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Length: " & $sLength & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Playcount: " & $iPlayCount & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Rating: " & $iRating & @CRLF
    $sInfo &= "Filename: " & $oItem.Filename & @CRLF
    ConsoleWrite($sInfo & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>_Event_ChangedTrack

Func _Exit()
    If Not $bAttached Then
        _WinampQuit($oWinAmp)
    EndIf   
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

I'm jealous... nice start!

big_daddy · September 14, 2006

I'm jealous... nice start!

Thanks! Its really only what I could throw together in about an hour this evening (Find/Replace works wonders

). It really has some nice capabilities, but it may take me some time to incorporate them into AutoIt.

jvanegmond · September 14, 2006

I made something that would read the artist and song from the winamp title. Later, I modified this and combined it with a lyric finding script to automatically find lyrics with the song.

Nice script.

chie · October 12, 2006

& another script thet does not work...I get error when i try to compile the main thing, it says:

Error #include depth exceeded. make shure there are no recursive includes.

Im using

SciTE4AutoIt3

Version 1.70

I hope you are referring to another one of your scripts that does not work. :lmao:

I have not come across this error before, but I don't believe my library is the cause of it. If you are having troubles with your script please make a new post in the support forum.

Thanks,

Bob

the DtTvB · October 12, 2006

A big thanks to big_daddy!

Thank you for this useful script!

Installed: SciTE Version 1.71 & error was gone...must been bugged SciTE version or something.

PS: I ment that i tried to run, I dont even remember the count, of the alarm clock scrips posted hire & none of them worked.

big_daddy · October 12, 2006

@the DtTvB - Thank you!

@chie - Glad to see you got it figured out.

owikh84 · October 21, 2006

Any new script for Winamp 5.30 pro instalation?

big_daddy · October 23, 2006

@owikh84 - This library is not for automating the installation of Winamp, it is for interacting with it.

Amazing Job. I hope to see this done as nicely as IE.au3, maybe even the great Docs too.

WMP would be cool too. would you be able to through something like this together for WMP10, PLEASE, PLEASE.

Great job man

A. Percy · December 13, 2006

Incredible!

Great!

And some others adjectives...

Great job!

When I try the speech example, I get an error whn it trys to talk.

$o_speech.Voice = $o_speech.GetVoices ("Name=Microsoft Mary", "Language=409").Item (0)^ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

Is there something else I need to make sure I have on the computer? ie voices enabled or something?

EDIT: the voice works when 3 (SAM) is selected, but not the others.

However. when it trigers it says "The next song is by" and nothing else. The song artist and title are showing in the playlist.

Also, if I try the first example script it displays $oItem.Filename but none of the others. It maybe the .mp3s not properly tagged?

WinXP

Winamp 2.95

AutoIt 3.1.1.98

These winamp scripts are cool BTW, very handy. thx guys

It is probably because you don't have Microsoft marry installed

You might try:

cyanidemonkey · December 18, 2006

Is there a way I could detect if a computer has the voice installed via au3 script?

ie: the script runs but before it says something between songs checks if the voice is loaded, if not move to next voice, or default voice.
