Fast forward or rewind in WinAmp?

[andyh]

Am I missing something in XLobby or is it not possible to fast forward or rewind within a track (playing in WinAmp) using XLobby events? I've found all the other music control events (play, pause, stop, next track etc.) but I was expecting one in there along the lines of skip forward 30 seconds or something similar.

If it's not in there then I've whipped up a small VB program to send the relevant commands to WinAmp which I could make available if other people would find it useful. By the way I'm running two zones so I need to be able to direct the command at a particular instance of WinAmp.

From what I can tell of how some skins work, if there is a rectangular object with an ID of "progressbar" it is draggable like the slider in winamp and has the same effect. It's not ff/rw, more of a direct attach jog-dial.

Honestly I don't have use for this, however the progress-meter that appears as part of this is kinda nifty.

What would you use ff/rw in winamp for anyhow? I don't use it for any video items, and that's the only place I find those functions useful.

no need to make a vb script. You can easily create buttons with sendmessage commands in the event messenger for ff or rewind. See the bottom of my skin doc.

Your winamp's zone will be the window name if Im not mistaken.

Aha! I thought I must be over-complicating it by using VB. Thanks very much for the pointers - it looks like the zone names are used as the WinAmp classname.

The reason I need FF/RW is that I'm using XLobby at the moment just for playing back recorded speech radio programmes. When I record something I allow a couple of minutes either side, and I'd like to be able to skip through the padding (see this thread under Support for a screenshot of my playback screen - complete with borrowed graphics).
