LCD Smartie displaying 10 instances of winamp

Post by Marbles_00 »

This may not be for the majority, but I've been searching for some way to display multi-zoning audio information on a VFD. Currently I'm in the final stages of setting up a multi-zoning music distribution system in my house using a computer, couple Audigy cards connected to 6 channel amps, running Xlobby (http://www.xlobby.com) and KX drivers. I've achieved 7 zones (8 if you include 1 spare), and 3 zones of synced audio to multiple locations.

All of the LCD/VFD software I've looked at can only display the status information to one instance of Winamp natively. I got thinking the other day of parsing xml files and display info for what I wanted to accomplish. Well with the help of LCD Smartie, the cut.dll and the NowPlaying Winamp plugin, I've been able to achieve what I wanted to do.

Here is a document on how I did it:

I guess, I just want to say thanks for a great little program. :D
