[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1164913, member: 82144"] Nice. :) For the record... I made a few modifications to the Winamp plugin code to make it more compatible with modern versions of Winamp. Even after making those modifications, adjusting the volume in MediaPortal did not trigger a corresponding volume adjustment in Winamp. After more digging, I discovered that the MediaPortal core player is simply not telling the plugin to change volume. In technical terms that [USERGROUP=39]@Developers[/USERGROUP] might understand: it appears that g_Player.Volume is completely isolated and disconnected from the Mixer and VolumeHandler volume adjustments. If I'm right, it would seem that g_Player.Volume actually does and controls absolutely nothing. Anybody know how it is meant to work? P.S. My modified WinampController.cs code is attached in case anybody wants to pursue this further. Main changes: [LIST] [*]use C# process class to find the Winamp window or start it - more straightforward and reliable than using native functions to match a specific window name [*]look for winamp.ini in the correct location (this is why Winamp was starting on top of MediaPortal in Jordan83's previous thread) [*]scale the volume value correctly [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
