Suggestions / Re: Icecast/Shoutcast plugin

For those interested, Winamp's Commpunity Update Project (WACUP) comes bundled with a simple streaming server and the source streaming plugin, such that they can be both started from Winamp very easily.

Suggestions / Icecast/Shoutcast plugin

« on: February 03, 2020, 01:53:49 »

The one thing left that Winamp has going for it is the ability to "share" what you're listening to with a friend or group of friends via Shoutcast/Icecast with plugins like dsp_sc and dsp_altacast. These take the audio playing in Winamp and stream to a Shoutcast or Icecast server for others to connect to; like a radio station.

With a little testing, I did manage to get AIMP to recognise older versions of dsp_sc.dll, and even get it to connect to a Shoutcast server (had no luck with the likes of Altacast or Shuicast). However, it did not register the audio that was playing in AIMP - only mic input worked, which is not ideal.

Another nice thing would be to have the ability to initiate the connection to the Shoutcast or Icecast server via command line - is it possible for plugins to add their own switches to AIMP? The use case would be for someone to remotely initiate the connection (say, someone in an IM client that can see what you're listening to), so they can listen along.

Questions / Re: Stream Music possible?

With Winamp, you could install a shoutcast/icecast DSP plugin to stream to a locally running shoutcast/icecast server, which means you could stream what you're listening to to your friends. I have never gotten this to work with AIMP though, despite AIMP claiming some compatibility with Winamp plugins.

I've tested Altacast (http://www.altacast.com/) and it doesn't even show up in the Plugin list, unfortunately.

Has anyone had success with an Icecast plugin in AIMP?

Questions / Re: Installer Arguments

A small wish: would it be possible to add a command line switch for the installer that disables elevation of permissions? Maybe something like /NOELEVATE
If I'm installing with /PORTABLE in a directory that does not need admin permissions, is there any other reason it should be required?

Questions / User installed plugins

« on: January 12, 2019, 11:44:48 »

According to the AIMP Help/FAQ, user configuration is all in the Profile folder, and this does cover user installed skins, but not plugins themselves. Is it possible to install user (non-default) plugins in the Profile folder?

Ah excellent, thank you.

Questions / Installer Arguments

« on: January 11, 2019, 19:22:30 »

My goal is to install and update AIMP programmatically, so I'm wondering if I can run the installer with some arguments like /S and /D for Silent and Directory, and maybe a /P to flag it for portable install, etc.

I'd also like to know if I'd be able to update a portable installation by running a new installer with the same arguments (instead of updating with the updater). If not, is there a way I could accomplish this?
