Winamp Time code

[zahoorjury]

hi ,need to do a time code with Winamp so,
why the Winamp is given in Fixtures list ?
why we patch it like a Fixture ? if Patched , how we load a Music Track in It ?
i am so confused that a lots of questions are coming in my mind but i am not deciding that what to ask first , how to do a time code show with Winamp ?

No worries. First question is: what should control what.

If you want to control winamp by Titan (set volume, select a clip to play) then you need to patch the Nullsoft Winamp as fixture. Know that if you are using the PC suite (T'itan One or Mobile) then you also need to install the Avolites Winamp plugin (just copy a file to a folder).

If you want to control Titan by Winamp then you only need both running on the same machine. You operate Winamp as usual, and it automatically sends its timecode to Titan (with the hours being the clip number in the list). You can see the timecode in the Timecode workspace window (of course select Winamp as time source) - and you can control your cuelists by timecode, as written in the manual.

And of course finally you can combine both things, so that e.g. you can start/stop the running clips from Titan, and then using Timecodre to have your show synced to the music.

thanks sir. finally i succeeded to play , pause and stop Winamp with T1 , but every time i open the T1 with Winamp , the winamp needs to configure the Avo plugin in its preferences , i patched Winamp as DMX line 5 @ 001. each time i need to do this again and again. any solution ?

Hi , hello , anybody home , waiting for reply on my above question

This is a Windows permission issue - plugin settings are only preserved if Winamp is run as administrator.

- start winamp as administrator (usually something like: open the windows start menu, type 'winamp' right-click the menu item and select 'Run as Administrator')
- apply your settings (i.e. set the universe to 5)
- now you may close Winamp - and next time you start it (even as normal user), the universe will be set to 5

Here is an alternative fixture which doesn't require you to run Winamp as Administrator: download the attached registry settings file, change the extension to .reg and double click on it to install. After doing this restart your computer and the next time you run Winamp it should be able to save the settings.
