Upgrades: v1.53
1. You can choose a INI file. This is useful when you make 'Enqueue' button in Total Commander Buttonbar. See the 'Readme_Eng.html'.

2. Option 'AppendPosition' is renamed as 'AddPosition'. But 'AppendPosition' is still valid.

3. I'm struggling to make WMP append files to 'Now Playing' list by using COM automation, but it seeems that WMP does not provide a way to access 'Now Playing' list. Technically, 'currentPlaylist' is not the 'Now Playing' list but just a temporary playlist, and 'playlistCollection' does not have 'Now Playing' playlist. And 'wmpshell.dll' does not provide public access. It's a restricted interface.

Thank you

Great Plugin, I've been waiting for something like this.

Just one question:

I use Zoom Player for playing movies. And Zoom Players native playlist format (zpl) is in unicode. As a workaround, i can use m3u playlist, but zpl format offers more possibilities. Would it be possible to add a function, to choose encoding of playlist file?

@TealC, Thank you for your comment.

Hmm.. I am not sure it will work out. Because PowerBasic has a poor ability in UNICODE.. But I think I gonna try it.

[TC2MP]

@TealC, I tested Zoom Player.

And 'ZPL' type is a UNICODE text file basically, but after testing Zoom Player, it works out well with ASCII-type ZPL.

Just copy and paste this code lines to your TC2MP.INI file.
-----------------------------------
[Zoom Player]
Player = C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe
Filter =
Extension = zpl
WindowState = 6
FirstLine =
CodeLine = nm=$FULLFILENAME_$CRLF_dr=0$CRLF_br!
EndLine =
CommandLine = "$PLAYLIST_"
WritingMode = 0

strange... i've tested pretty much the same thing, and it didn't work. But i'll try again as soon as possible, and let you know if it worked.

thx

Ok. I made up UNICODE support. Now it works out fine. Visit my blog.

This is a great utility,but I have a little suggestion to author.Would you please add the possibility to use pseudovariables such as %ProgramFiles% and so on.
For examlple:

[Winamp]
Player = %ProgramFiles%\Winamp\Winamp.exe

I've tried the old version without unicode, as you described, and it worked. Seems that i've made a mistake, then read the zpl documentation, what made me think the problem is that the file is non-unicode. Sorry, i apologize.

Anyway, i've upgraded to 1.3, and it works too, of course
Great tool, keep up the good work!

[MPUI]
; MPUI + "m3u" / additional filetypes available : "pls", "asx"
; MPUI homepage : http://mpui.sourceforge.net
Player=%PROGRAM FILES%\wincmd\Plugins\MPlayer\MPUI.exe
Filter=mp3;wma;ogg;avi;asf;wmv;ogm;mov
Extension=m3u
WindowState=6
FirstLine=
CodeLine=$FULLFILENAME_
EndLine=
CommandLine="$PLAYLIST_"
WritingMode=0
RetrieveRegExp=
RetrieveRegExLeft=
RetrieveRegExRight=
Unicode=

[Postkutscher]

It works fine.Thank you very much. You did it so fast.Wow.

Can anyone please confirm that CMP 1.33 won't find the media player application if the system bit (file attribute) of this media player exe is set? I have never cared a lot of the system bit before but for me it only works if this bit is set to off.

Thanks. I fixed the problem. Previously CMP only read 'Normal' files, but now reads all types of files. (Normal, Readonly, Hidden, System)

Visit my blog.

If it does not work again, tell me.

Thx for the useful tool.

But I have a little problem playing folders with subfolders in winamp. CMP uses only the selected folder. I have often subfolders with CD1 and CD2 and the mp3's in it. If I choose the (parent)folder - of course - no files are found.

@ TC2MP : Can you add choosing subfolders ?

Maybe it's not what you need, but Total Editor has it implemented already.
