1. Requirements
wmed_tp1.zip
2. New in this update:
- XCenter Widget plugin DLL
- AVI and MPEG-1 video seeking
- AVI and MPEG stream info (pretty limited still)
- PIPEWarpMedia - commands undocumented :>
It can only handle one connection at a time, in this release.
The XCenter Widget connects to it.
- WarpAMP skin now uses the LC_CNT_TrackTimeRemaining
- LC_CNT_TrackTimeRemaining
- New default skin: iMSkin2
- ID3v1 tag reading for MPEG-1 audio.
- Remember the playlist queue position from previous session.
- When having Styler/2 installed, with its full window drag feature, the main window would start to move when you interacted with the skin controls.
- Maximizing the DIVE window should now put it on top of applications such as WarpCenter, XCenter, etc.
- Fixed drag & drop to shaped skins
Skins can be found at:
ftp://ftp.sdg.os2.nu/pub/warpmedia/skins/
ftp://anduin.net/pub/warpmedia/skins/
3. Installation of the XCenter Widget plugin
Put WMXCW.DLL in your XWorkplacepluginsxcenter directory and restart XCenter. The widget requires WarpMedia.exe to be running for it to actually do something useful.
