Solved cannot control winamp volume
-
With latest WinAmp I can start / stop / switch songs, but the volume and slider is not moving when I increase or decrease in cockpit .
still on U2

Hm just wondering. If nothing has been changed on code side. As BMS isn’t sending a keystroke to winamp but using core Windows SendMessage to windowhandle and the ie. for volume up.
From the old FF code BMS will search forwinamp_win = FindWindow("Winamp v1.x", NULL);
and only if it finds a window handl will use the
SendMessage(winamp_win, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_VOLUMEUP, 0); //where WINAMP_VOLUMEUP=40059
which has been the Winamp way to receive remote instruction for ages

@razool To be honest, we don’t test it anymore and it has been a while…
Not sure the team will continue porting it in the future if interfacing doesn’t work anymore

@maxwaldorf ok thanks I will set up my own shortcuts

I hope the Winamp controls continue to work in future versions of BMS.
I know it’s silly, but it’s one of my favorite things about the sim. I can listen to scanner recordings from the NTTR while I’m practicing bombing at KOTAR, and I can listen to music when I’m practicing landings or doing SP BFM against AIs.
I realize those uses of the sim kind of “miss the point” of BMS, which is to do campaigns, MP, etc…, and not just fool around in SP while listening to audio. But being able to control the audio tracks with the HOTAS is a wonderful “little thing that makes a big difference”. If it is possible for it to continue, that would be great.
I mostly just use the Start and Pause controls for Winamp, because I use a physical slider on a GoXLR Mini box to control the volume of Winamp.
