To load multiamp you simply need to add the relative path of the plugin (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc (located in the Blackbox directory).
For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and multiamp.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins\multiamp, you should add the line...
plugins\multiamp\multiamp.dll
...to plugins.rc. Simple, eh? :)
First of all, as of multiamp bb4 configuration is done using the right-click plugin menu
(it should be pretty self-explanatory what each menu item does).
The multiamp buttons (in left-right (horizontal) or top-bottom (vertical) order)...
Winamp mode:
Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track,
Open file(s), Show menu, Power on/off, Volume up, Volume down
CoolPlayer mode:
Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track,
Open file(s), Playlist, Power on/off, Volume up, Volume down
K-Jöfol mode:
Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track,
Open file(s), Preferences, Power on/off, Fwd 5 seconds, Rew 5 seconds
Winamp3 mode:
Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track,
Open file(s), Playlist, Power on/off, Volume up, Volume down
foobar2000 mode:
Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next track,
Open file(s), Playlist, Power on/off, Volume up, Volume down
...and their equivalent broadcast messages (bro@ms):
@maPrev, @maPlay, @maPause, @maStop, @maNext,
@maOpenFile, @maMenu, @maPower, @maVolumeUp, @maVolumeDown
Finally, you can use the @maMode bro@m to change multiamp mode:
@maMode 1 Winamp mode
@maMode 2 CoolPlayer mode
@maMode 3 K-Jöfol mode
@maMode 4 Winamp3 mode
@maMode 5 foobar2000 mode
I have included a default configuration file (multiamp.rc) in the .zip, but if a configuration file for some reason (e.g. you deleted it <g>)
can not be found at startup (multiamp will first search for it in the same directory as the plugin, then in the Blackbox directory),
multiamp will automatically create one for you in the same directory as the plugin. Normally, you do not need to edit this file manually,
however there are some settings such as paths to executables (see below) that may need to be edited for multiamp to work correctly.
You may also want to tweak the alpha transparency value (see below) to your liking.
multiamp.x: 1 X position
multiamp.y: 1 Y position
multiamp.alwaysontop: true AlwaysOnTop?
multiamp.vertical: false Horizontal or vertical mode?
multiamp.snapwindow: true Snap multiamp window to screen edges?
multiamp.transparency: false Enable transparency?
multiamp.transparency.alpha: 60 Alpha transparency value
multiamp.selectedplayer: winamp Selected control mode
multiamp.path.winamp: c:\Progra~1\Winamp\winamp.exe Path to the Winamp executable...
multiamp.path.coolplayer: c:\Progra~1\CoolPlayer\coolplayer.exe ...CoolPlayer...
multiamp.path.k-jofol: c:\Progra~1\Kjofol\kjofol.exe ...K-Jöfol...
multiamp.path.winamp3: c:\Progra~1\Winamp3\Studio.exe ...Winamp3...
multiamp.path.foobar2000: c:\Progra~1\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe ...and foobar2000!
Please note that multiamp automatically saves the current running configuration when you quit or restart Blackbox,
overwriting the previous contents of the file. The solution is to restart Blackbox from the menu while holding down the Shift key,
which will unload all plugins and display a message box telling you that the restart has been paused.
Now make your edits to the file and save, then click OK to continue the restart. multiamp will now read your manually edited settings.
