Next song / next preset

Try classic & modern skin, attached & detached visualization window ...
Strange as it seemed to work first ...
^..^#
hey, no annoying "ding" anymore! It works fine now! Great job!
What was the problem with that sound anyways?
Titule#
Nothing. Not even a "ding".
In classic/modern/detached/attached
with "Random" on/off,
with "randomly switch presets" off/on and 10/30/100/1000 seconds

At least my bloodpressure did not go up, so I assume the program does not do any harm.

Problem with sound was because I sent a WM_SYSKEYDOWN message to the avs window instead of WM_KEYDOWN followed by WM_KEYUP.
Titule I really don't know what's wrong with you. Can some more people give it a try ?

edit:

I'm just looking at the include files of the new SDK and I see:

#define IPC_SETVISWND 611 // param is hwnd, setting this allows you to receive ID_VIS_NEXT/PREVOUS/RANDOM/FS wm_commands
#define ID_VIS_NEXT 40382
#define ID_VIS_PREV 40383
#define ID_VIS_RANDOM 40384
#define ID_VIS_FS 40389
#define ID_VIS_CFG 40390
#define ID_VIS_MENU 40391

#define IPC_GETVISWND 612 // returns the vis cmd handler hwnd
#define IPC_ISVISRUNNING 613
#define IPC_CB_VISRANDOM 628 // param is status of random
So I think I can code it a proper way than sending keydown/keyup messages to the avs window after retrieving his handle with FindWindow/FindWindowEx
Time to go to work now, I'll update it this evening.
^..^#
sorry can't really follow. Actually i have no idea about real coding things. However the plugin works fine for me, although i found another bug: it seems as if you cannot deactivate it permanently. Everytime i deactivate it and restart winamp it is activated again. Is it supposed to be this way or is it really a bug?

I just came back home... let's have a look

Updated
This one should even work for Titule (?)
Config loading/saving works fine here.
Titule#
Seems you never give up? Good, I appreciate that, but, sorry to say that:
No.
The configuration window and the version number has changed. (nice work, though 🙂)
But nothing else.
I think now that it never worked and the first transitions I observed were the random transitions every 10 secs.
I got so unsure that I even pressed the "next" button to see if there are ANY preset changes (it worked).

How can I help? Maybe you implement to write debug-output to a file that I can send you?
^..^#
well, here it works fine now, without re-enabling on winamp restart and without ding. Dunno, perhaps it's a matter of different winamp versions, that it doesn't work for you titule?
Titule#
Why don't you update, then? 🙂
Or: Let's wait for goebish to reveal his version before we go on..
goebish#
This shouldn't be a problem. I really don't understand what's wrong with you Titule. Do you switch to next preset when you press 'u' key ?
Titule#
There's nothing wrong with me..
Winamp switches to the next preset when I press 'u' as well as pressing the "next" button.
It just don' switch preset when the next song starts playing.
^..^#
sorry to tell you that, but i just now updated to winamp 5.08e and it still works fine! So it's not a version problem.
Titule#
I understand that you cant't help me.
Anybody else willing to try to test the plug-in or write something that works for me too?
Titule#
🤪
Just tried again, nothing.

When is the preset supposed to change?
Do I need to set the transition?
Do I have too many presets?
^..^#
as the name says it should change to a new preset whenever a new song starts or the current song restarts.

neither do you have to set a specific kind of transitions nor does the number of presets matter. When i tested that plugin i tried all different transition settings and i couldn't find one that doesn't work.
Concerning the number of presets: i guess the plugin recognizes when a new song starts and then simply tells avs to do the same that happens when you press space. So i don't think that the plugin cares about the number of presets, otherwise random-preset-on-spacebar wouldn't work either! 🙂
^..^#
Did you reinstall winamp anyway?
Do you have any other plugins installed that might interact?
Did you empty your temporary internet files?

the last one is nonsense 😉
Titule#
I re-installed winamp. Thanks to that, I have to setup everything again.
The plug in does not work.
I de-installed that annoying plug-in and don't want to hear about it any more.
And now I will empty my temporary internet files..
^..^#
sorry can't help you any further...

btw why did you have to set everthing up again after reinstall? Usually it keeps the former settings?! However i'm no expert for winamp troubleshooting 😉
[Ishan]#
dude i really have no idea why this plugin is not working on your computer cause it is working really fine here.🙂
^..^#
Even goebish, who actually made that plugin, has no clue why it doesn't work for titule, strange thing...

It's somehow funny, that titule was the one who asked for this plugin and now when it's made it only works for the ones who don't really need it.

I think i know what is the problem with Titule
It's the prioroty of plug-ins. I had the same problem, but then i unninstaled some plugins and it worked.
Titule where you have your list of plugins in General purpose window, on which place is it, the AVS presets cycler?
On one computer i have it on last and it works, but on the other i had it on first place (dind't work) so I uninstaled some plugins (Nulsoft modern skin support, Nulsoft Global hotkeys and another but I don't the name, and I can't tell you why I unninstaled this plugins,) So this solved my problem, that may be the same as Titules.

But on the 3'rd comp i have this problem. when i start winamp i have an error and it says:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

I have tried reinstalling winamp, tried the updated version of plugin,
tried to use winamop v5.08e, latest winamp version, and still the same 🙁

This is because I compiled it with visual studio 2003. Get this dll at http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl....shtml?msvcr71 and put it in your windows\system32 folder, should fix the problem.

By the way, Happy New Year to all avser's 🙂
