Winamp Plugin

Post by incoronado »

Is there any way to extract album art from the ID3v2 tag? I want to use dynamic images to display album art, but I think I'm missing something. Has anyone done this. Also, using the Winamp plugin, what is the technique for going to next song and previous song in playlist. I realize I need to increment the playlist song number, how do I do this without using a vbscript?

If you want to do it from a theme, use a simple property change button and set the "New Value" for the button press to +=1 or -=1. Here's an old sample (attached - make sure you are logged in to see it) for WinAmp that may help. If I remember correctly, it does all this. Just drag and drop the attachment onto HouseBot and restart.

Any ideas about displaying album art out of ID3v2 tag of the currently playing song? Also, How would you approach a gauge that indicates the percentage of a song played? I can do this with a script, but I thought that would be fairly CPU intensive if it was triggered on a change to Song Position. My guess is that I will need the power a script nad will have to convert Song Length and Song Position to seconds. I always like to use HB internal abilities to do things if at all possible. It's much faster and safer. Is there a way to basic arithmetic using a form of subsitution or is += and -= the extent of it?
