run visualization only in mp3 files

hi there there is any way that a visualization can be program only wen i play mp3 files an not mpg files
i see my videos on a tv but when i programm a visualization it runs too, making my machine very slow
sorry for my english is not my native lenguage
can some one help me??????😁

sorry, you can't.. 🙂

i see my videos on a tv but when i programm a visualization it runs too, making my machine very slow

just disable the AVS window.

but that way i wil not see my visualization when i play mp3 files....

When you're ready to play the mp3 files, enable the AVS window back so you can see the visualization. Sounds noob, but that's the only way, don't you get it? 😉

i am not realy into programming but there is a way to make a visualization that detects the file extension???
like:
if *.mp3 then run oscilloscope
if not run warever...
in visual basic
sorry to be souch a pain but if you give me a north
mabe i can figure out how to do it
i have seen plug in that comunicate with the com port so i was wondering how they do it
thanks a lot

I never try it, yet.

sure its possible

but not in avs

can you tell me more o less how pak9?******?????

no, not really. If your programming knowledge is too poor to identify the type of a file then tackling a problem like writing an entire music visualisation application will be well beyond you.

Alternatively if you were writing a plugin for winamp you would not be able to use VB, you would need to use C++ (unless you did some horrible hack to have a dll interface with a vb app.. dont even go there) and I believe the playlist entry can be read from somewhere fairly simply. I dont have the wa plugin source in front of me though.

you could download the avs source, and make a fork.

but here is what winamp gives a visualisation plugin:

typedef struct winampVisModule {

  char *description; // description of module

  HWND hwndParent;   // parent window (filled in by calling app)

  HINSTANCE hDllInstance; // instance handle to this DLL (filled in by calling app)

  int sRate;		 // sample rate (filled in by calling app)

  int nCh;			 // number of channels (filled in...)

  int latencyMs;     // latency from call of RenderFrame to actual drawing

                     // (calling app looks at this value when getting data)

  int delayMs;       // delay between calls in ms



  // the data is filled in according to the respective Nch entry

  int spectrumNch;

  int waveformNch;

  unsigned char spectrumData[2][576];

  unsigned char waveformData[2][576];



  void (*Config)(struct winampVisModule *this_mod);  // configuration dialog

  int (*Init)(struct winampVisModule *this_mod);     // 0 on success, creates window, etc

  int (*Render)(struct winampVisModule *this_mod);   // returns 0 if successful, 1 if vis should end

  void (*Quit)(struct winampVisModule *this_mod);    // call when done



  void *userData; // user data, optional

} winampVisModule;

still feel like trying it?

oh... i wont convert that into vb code because types like void* and void(*)(winampVisModule*) can't be replicated without a lot of understanding. if i just gave you that information, you would miss the point somewhat i think...

thanks jheriko now i get it
i will try using c++
thanks a lot

Yeah, you did miss the point. How will you get the information you desire from that data alone? You would need to suppliment it with hackery of some kind...
