Thank you for your interest in GeoPlayer. Please read this page completely before downloading.
Newest version is 0.3.3.

Usage

The GeoPlayer plugin, for GeoShell, allows you to play mp3 files, via m3u files, using winamp plugins without having to run winamp itself.
Currently it uses plugins from winamp 2.x. Just place GeoPlayer.dll into your plugins directory and load it.

New to 0.3.3

• Hot Keys
• Repeat
• Right-click menu
• Access to File Info dialog
• Access to the mp3 plugin config dialog
• Auto-start
• Song continues through local recycle if
  path
  and
  outmod
  are unchanged.
• Accepts dropped files & directories
• Autoloads m3u files dropped onto it

Settings

The following table lists all the registry entries for GeoPlayer and discribes what they are for. Entries marked with an * are new to this release.

Requirements

GeoPlayer requires plugins from winamp 2.x. The easiest way to obtain these plugns is to install winamp. If your winamp was not installed via its installer make sure that the path entry is pointing to the plugins.

Image formats

The new image settings use a "weird" format to look proper on the button control. Since GeoShell's buttons dislike images any size but 16x16, the icons used by the buttons are offset. They are standard 16x16 icons, but the image itself must not be larger then 12x12. The upper left corner of the image needs to start at point 12x12 in the icon. you might get away with 11x11 :)
If this is confusing, and it probably is, take a look at btnsample.ico in the zip file. If you have the programs and the know-how, resource hack the plugin itself to see the other images.
