I thought perhaps installing a second WinAmp in a different directory, but then I don't see a way to point the plugin to the correct"Winamp". Would almost need a "WinmpPath" in the settings.txt file. Thanks for looking into it.

Hey all. I'm trying to give this thing a whirl. Sounds slick. But so far, I'm not having much luck at all. I've been through the document about 5 times to make sure I haven't missed anything and I can't figure out what is wrong. After going through the steps, I launch the client....it shows up in the tray, but then nothing. Winamp doesn't launch, it doesn't connect to HS3, nothing in the log. The plugin says "Not Connected". Any advice on where to start looking? I'm trying to set this up on the same machine that I'm hosting HS3 from. Does that change anything in the steps? Do I need to include the port number in the settings.txt file if I'm using a non-standard port (using 88). Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm stumped.

Two questions please. First, is it possible to have 2 instances on the same client feeding 2 different sound cards? I have both working fine independently with each using a different output device, however they won’t work at the same time. When I play the second one the first one stops and vice versa. Second, for some reason my bookmarks won’t populate in the drop down. I verified that the config file is pointed to the right folder and that the Winamp bookmark file has entries. Not a huge deal as I can use presets bit just wondering. Thank you!

Not sure what you mean when you say you have 2 instances of the same client. There should be 2 clients running, each controlling a single instance of Winamp. Did you follow the multi instance instructions to the letter? Would you also confirm the version of Winamp you have installed.
Regarding bookmarks, if you have confirmed that the file path you placed in the BookmarkPath entry contains the correct bookmark music, did you try the update bookmark button on the root devices?

What I meant to say is that I have two instances of Winamp running on the same host. I have two clients running. Using the version of Winamp that was in the package.
on the bookmarks, yes I tried the update button. The HS logs show that they were updated. I refresh the devices page and the list never populates. It just shows one item in the list that says “bookmarks”.

Hey all. Jon reviewed my files and doesn't see anything wrong. Bookmarks still won't populate (but when I use the "add to bookmark" button it does update the file interestingly). Anyway, not a big deal I can use the preset feature. Still can't seem to get two different instances to play on two different sound cards simultaneously. I can get them to play individually using two different outputs, but once you play the 2nd the first one stops and vice versa. Jon thinks its a winamp thing. If anyone has had success in doing this please let me know. Otherwise it makes having multiple instances useless for my application anyway (using as two different sources in a whole house audio setup). Thanks all and thanks to you Jon for taking a look. Awesome work.
