AMIP Changelog

[*] fixed crash when parsing id3v2 tags with ID3FID_INVOLVEDPEOPLE field

[*] %indexed and %listinsync were not reset after clearing cached playlist making impossible to detect if current playlist is actually in sync

[*] mIRC DDE requests sometimes arrive with first letters of the parameters capitalized which breaks API commands processing. For example, /dde mplug control play and stop commands didn't work. Now the values of DDE parameters from mIRC are lowercased explicitly

[*] fixed critical bug in regrep function (memory corruption when string became longer after replacing)

[*] fixed rare crash problem when closing search dialog, optimized keyboard navigation

[*] fixed playlist not synchronizing when current item changes and better sync for playlist containing radio streams

[*] "preset" API command didn't work at all (broken in 2.64)

[*] Yahoo Messenger 8 and 9 are working again with AMIP now playing feature

[*] iTunes: incorrect track reported when sorting by some columns

[*] fixed preset API command accepting 0-4 index, while it should accept 1-5

[*] announce command can use the wrong song info after invoking announcesong command

[*] fixed potential crash when using close window button in the Search dialog

[*] fixed crash when trying to write to the read-only file

[*] fb2k: v0.9.6+ compatible

[*] Fixed rare crash on exit when using Remote/API (thanks to badmadbug for reporting)

[+] %infoready variable, 0 when song info is not ready yet, like on player startup (for exmaple, API eval/format functions will return %name for %name instead of song). When this variable is 1, it's safe to evaluate and display song information

[*] RCF 0.9c + custom fixes (AMIP 2.63 is not compatible with clients using older ac.dll, you must update your clients if you are using any to work with this AMIP version)

[*] Remote API server will restart automatically if crashed

[*] "search" remote API command deadlock fixed

[*] /skype in exit callback didn't work

[*] File Mapping is now used for mIRC by default instead of DDE to avoid locks and crashes

[+] %configfile variable - full path to config ini file used by AMIP

[+] fb2k: proper conversion of 0-255 volume range to foobar dB volume range for set/get volume API commands

[*] Thread safety for the Remote/API subsystem related to the playlist synchronization and passing playlist to other applications

[*] Client/Server startup/shutdown could hang because of incorrect use of thread functions, should be fixed now

[*] Fixed 'formatsong' to accept underscores (should be replaced with <UND>)

[+] Added 'rawformat' and 'rawformatsong' that get unquoted strings with spaces (which is not allowed for 'format' and 'formatsong' designed for mIRC). Useful for API calls.

[+] %channels variable (number of channls in the file, 1 for mono, 2 for stereo)

[+] %phwnd variable (Player HWND)

[*] 'control minimize' and 'control restore' commands will possibly work not only with Winamp

[*] If you need comma inside function, you can escape it with backslash

[+] %player variable, can be Winamp/QCD/foobar2000/iTunes

[+] Timer Callback - commands placed there will be invoked every second by default

[+] Simple Shared memory API (FileMapping), AMIP can now publish a shared memory structure with song info. Details coming soon. The following command was added: /shmem(file,type,action) where file is the name of memory mapped file (e.g. amip_api); type can be 'delphi' (without quotes) for pascal/delphi style TStrings and anything else for C style strings; action is either 'update' or 'clear', update updates the memory mapped file, clear clears it. Example that can be placed into the new Timer Callback: /shmem(fb2k_cm2,delphi,update), in the Exit Callback: /shmem(fb2k_cm2,delphi,clear)

[+] MSN Messenger 7 beta support (you need 7.0.604 or 7.0.0632), see screenshot: http://www.rzone.ru/photo/msn7.png

[+] AMIP updates MSN Messenger info automatically, but if you want to do it on different events, use /msn(update) and /msn(clear) commands in the presets

[+] %fpath - directory containing file (NOT including trailing backslash)

[*] Search dialog crashed recent Winamp versions when no songs were selected

[*] libogg/libvorbis 1.1 (SVN revision 9541)

[*] Playback restore is turned off by default, if you need to enable it set CFG_RESTORE=1 in plugin.ini

[+] Added AMIP version information to Winamp 3 preferences window

[*] Now string in quotes in the conditional constructions like ?VBR='yes'<%ABR|%br> is considered to be a regular expression (read: wildcards are now allowed in conditional statements)

[+] It's now possible to change shortcuts for the search dialog and pasting to active window. Currently it's only possible in the plugin.ini manually, frontend will be added later.

[*] No more restart needed when enabling/disabling hotkeys.

[+] If Ctrl+Alt+Z shortcut for clipboard integration is not working, hit it twice shortly, AMIP will change the keystroke which it is sending to the active window for paste action from Ctrl+V to Shift+Insert and vice-versa, also AMIP will remember the application which needs non-standard keystroke. You can see that the keystroke was toggled by the window flashing.

[+] %ext - file extension

[*] AMIP is now using STLport for stability and speed improvements

[+] Presets for keeping several output strings and changing between them

[+] Extensive scanning option. If enabled, plug-in scans all frames of mp3 file to calculate Average Bitrate (ABR) and detect encoder. (a bit slows down computer while song is changing)

[+] A number of new variables: %ABR - Average bitrate of mp3 file %VBR - (yes/no) shows if file has VBR %ENC - encoder used to make mp3 file %LEN - (e.g. 00:03:19) song length %FRQ - (e.g. 44100) Samlping frequency (hz) %MOD - (e.g. joint stereo) Mode %FRM - number of frames %FSZ - (e.g. 4,157,036) file size in bytes %TYP - (e.g. mpeg 1 layer III) - mpeg and layer version %QUO - (0-2) a rough determination of the quality of the file Determined solely by the encoder used, the bitrate, and the stereo mode %EMP - Emphasis %COM - (yes/no) if file is complete (not broken) %ERR - number of sync errors %CPR - (yes/no) Copyrighted %ORG - (yes/no) Original %CRC - (yes/no) CRC
