Need help programming Winamp LCD app in VB?

I've been working on implementing Winamp control/stats in LCDstats and developed a "test app" which someone else might find useful to test with.

VB6 Sourcecode

191 kbps? Hmm... either you got yourself a funky MP3 or it's VBR... But Enya is nice relaxation music

Thanks for the source, too. Nice and clean! (Most of my programs are getting overrun with stuff that I could put into a few modules and get it cleaned up

)

I updated the zip file because i found a bug in the get song title thingy, it crashed when winamp just has loaded and don't have a valid songname in it's caption.

191KBps=WMA file encoded at 160KBps, dunno why.

I saw that bug, my fix was just this:

Code: Select all

Public Function strWinampTitle() As String
    Dim strCaption As String
    
    strCaption = strGettext(hwnd_winamp)
    If Len(strCaption) > 11 Then
        strCaption = Mid(strCaption, InStr(strCaption, ".") + 2, InStr(strCaption, " - Winamp") - 4)
        If Right(strCaption, 1) = " " Then strCaption = Mid(strCaption, 1, Len(strCaption) - 1)
        strWinampTitle = strCaption
    Else
        strWinampTitle = "No Song Playing"
    End If
End Function

Unfortunatly I just realized that that causes errors with winamp v2.78, because it takes on an extra letter... I like your fix better

I made a small app showing a way to scroll text. Useful to anyone who wants to scroll text on a LCD.
