RE: [misterhouse-users] winamp and mh

[Brian M. <bri...@kc...>]

Okay... thanks for that... I have gotten that working.

Now, a new situation with this...

How do I set the parms in mh.ini (or elsewhere???) so that when I tell mh to
lower the volume of winamp, it does it on the remote box that I'm talking
to, and not the box that is running winamp/shoutcast/httpq?

In other words, I don't know how to differentiate the different winamps
around the house within mh.  I was looking thru the mp3_control file and saw
where there was a line that said

$host = 'localhost' unless $host;

I changed 'localhost' to the ip address that is running
winamp/httpq/shoutcast.  I'm sure that's not the correct way to do it, but
that's the only way I could make mh control winamp remotely.

Keep in mind, I'm not very good at this scripting stuff if you choose to
reply.  ;-)

Thanks for your time!

Brian
