I for one am fascinated by the remotest possibilty that could be achieved.

Ah. BrowseAmp. My plugin says http://www.browseamp.com. Although I'm not even going to check! Muahaha!

Anyway, yeah. Of course their are already scripts to control Winamp. But not an Eggdrop one. =)

Edit: ('not an eggdrop one'.. because, yes, it IS useless. I wasn't trying to argue that per se, but.. I am still thinking about the final goal.. 'how to do this'.)

There is indeed: shoutcast.tcl but has nothing to do with Mixis' request.

thus I am capable of displaying my Winamp song in Linux.

If dual boot system, a Linux box with a win32 emulator, NTFS read/write enabled, mIRC/XChat with winamp plugin and appropriate script(s).

XChat has a few C/Perl scripts/plugins available (*nix/Windows) utilising Media Player & Winamp. EasyWinampControl C plugin for Xchat (windows) looks interesting; as does WinampInfo.

It would be more for show.

I couldn't agree more; and a complicated way of "showing off".

I use a plugin for winamp called Winamp Browser

Then maybe post the link for Mixis so they can do what they requested?

Also, what about for DJ's? Of course they can just choose a song in winamp, but, what about remote shoutcast controlling via an eggdrop? ^^

Not one? As I said, for remotely displaying the song, that is, on the box that I ssh into (which is a Linux box mind you), and I use the Irssi IRC client, thus I am capable of displaying my Winamp song in Linux.

I completely see the usefulness in this, although obscurely done. It would be more for show.

!next, !prev, !vol +10, why not? !jump .. what about perhaps having your bot control playlists too? !queue , there are a lot of options for this, as you're suggesting, it wouldn't be useful to have it in a 100 user channel, but that still doesn't mean it cannot be done, it's useless to you, but he requested it, likely with a reason attached.

I use a plugin for winamp called Winamp Browser (don't have link offhand), which runs a daemon on a user chosen port. Then, on my NAT Linux/Eggdrop box, I use Perl to connect to the host & retrieve the song name, so that I can display what I'm listening to remotely.

It would be easy to write a Tcl script to send commands to Winamp Browser.

Still begs the question: What's the point?

As far as I am aware there is not one IRC client that doesn't implement a winamp plugin of one sort or another.

An eggdrop on a *nix box controlling a Windows application remotely?

How about you installing a Win32 emulator on your *nix box (with NTFS support), learn TCL etc and have a nice time trying to do the impossible for a few months?

Use it as a remote.. through eggdrop
i know it's a wierd request. But there is a method to my madness.

The winamp plugin in xchat simply displays what track (with winamp id tags) you're playing.

There's input commands to go forward/backward etc; nothing more than a toy.

Having an eggdrop do it would definitely be complicated, interesting & just about impossible. LOL

yeah it's probably that, but why in the world would you want to control winamp through your IRC client (let alone eggdrop) and not directly through its GUI?? that's beyond me, doesn't make any sense (it is certainly possible, winamp has APIs for that, DDE in v2 and COM in v3 and up, but those are meant to be used from apps with rich GUI, not scripted from a console-type apps, which all IRC clients really are)

Seems Mixis wants eggdrop to have the xchat (win32) ability using the winamp plugin.
