1 month ago I don't think Winamp has that information. When playing or enqueuing a playlist, Winamp loads all the songs into the Playlist Editor window, but it doesn't retain where it got that list of files to load. And you can also enqueue multiple playlists and individual songs into the Playlist Editor. The playlist files don't appear in the Media Browser History section either.
Here is a copy of the terrible Winamp API documentation, which doesn't expose a current playlist filename.
The only possible way I can think of is trying to find and parse the Winamp Jump List file in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations whenever it changes, but this has several drawbacks:
- Algorithm to derive filename from AppID is complicated, including environment variable substitution
- I don't know the file format of these files, it's some nonobvious binary structure that isn't SQLite or anything
- This only tells you when Winamp loaded or saved a playlist file, it does not tell you if the user then modified or cleared the playlist, or loaded a Media Library song or playlist, or whether the operation was a save or a load (the user could have saved a playlist they weren't playing)
Hi,
Is it possible to put the filename (both with and without folder) of the playlist into the nowplaying file as well?
This would assist in automatic playlist reloading on remote machines [i have a weird life] by storing which playlist was opened so that it can be reloaded [if changed].
