I've posted about this a couple of times, and months later still haven't found a solution.
I am trying to get an online radio station going (via Live365) and want to use Spicefly Sugarcube in combination with the old SqrSoft crossfading plug-in of 20+ years ago. I was able to use the UPnP/DLNA bridge to get the Foobar2k version of the plug-in going in combination, but it just doesn't work as well as the old one - not only are there less controls, but it won't crossfade anything less than :12, which is a real deal-breaker as it affects pacing. (I have a bunch of jingles and such.) I'd posted here a while back asking if anybody was interested and qualified to write a DLNA Renderer plug-in for Winamp, with no responses. The old Winamp forum, which I logged into the other day for the first time in 18 years, apparently is no longer accepting new posts so I wasn't able to ask there. I've wondered if it's possible to have something written that could load the old output plug-in via Squeezelite/Local Player, so that it is just directly connected to that without having to use the bridge, bypassing Winamp completely. In theory this is the cleanest solution, but I have no idea if it's possible. I reached out to Triode privately asking, but if anybody here thinks they could pull this off, let me know. The plug-in itself is just a DLL file with an accompanying INI file. The only other solution I can think of is using Powershell to monitor LMS' M3U file and pass information as it is added to Winamp using the command prompt, but so far nobody's attempts have actually worked although on paper they should...but as I have a custom LMS plug-in that inserts the jingles and commercials in between the next-to-last and last tracks, it can't just do this in real time as both (A) it needs to watch for the last track, wait about 10 seconds for more tracks to be added, then (B) insert the entire string. This isn't ideal and is a dicey solution but might be the only way. Any ideas are appreciated...and no, the stream function won't work as the whole idea is to use the crossfader, so the tracks have to go individually, and in advance enough that the fader can capture them soon enough. I won't keep posting here about this if there's no solution, but I can't help think given there are a few ways it -might- work that somebody might have an epiphany...I will pay you if you can figure this out and it works! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ typecrazy789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114957 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
