i was reading that winamp has the ability to run multiple instances through different sound cards at the same time. This would be great with my distributed audio system at my house. For one computer to run 5 instances of winamp through different sound cards so each room can have its own audio source and control of it. Winamp has the ability to assign a class to each instance of winamp for control through girder but i wasnt sure if there was a way to control the instance of winamp by specifying the class associated to it. Has anyone tried this or is it already built into the winamp plugin and im just not seeing how to do it?
Im using EG 0.3.6.1476
Thanks for the help

Control Multiple Winamp Instances
Re: Control Multiple Winamp Instances
Hi,
I added an action to the Winamp plugin that allows you to change the target class you want to find. It works like this:
- The plugin has a configuration option for target class.
- You can use the "Set target class" action to change the target class of the Winamp plugin.
- By default it tries to find the default "Winamp v1.x" class.
- All the other actions (play, pause etc.) will try to find the window with the class you have set
- You can multiload Winamp plugins if you want (for example one plugin for each winamp instance)
Replace the EventGhost\plugins\Winamp\__init__.py file with the one attached and restart EG.
I updated the plugin a to have a cofiguration option in the plugin as well as the action to set the target class.
Please test it and post any feedback here. If there are no issues with it I'm going to go ahead and commit the changes to eg SVN.
PS. you are not running the latest version of EG btw.

Re: Control Multiple Winamp Instances
After first downloading the latest version of EG (thanks for the heads up) it worked perfectly. Thank you very much for this. I cant believe how quickly you made the adjustment to the plugin 
Do you have a good python book that i can use to get started on programing these plugins myself? i know a little c and vb but still need to workon python syntax.
thanks for the great enhancement!!!
