General Discussion / Re: WACUP Home automation integration - Homeseer

« on: September 12, 2024, 06:55:04 AM »

I'm really interested in learning more about this. What kind of programming language do I need to know? And where would I go about getting started and doing this sort of thing? Is Home assist script based, or html? I started with apple dos basic. Then moved to Amiga script editing and multi-tasking later I got into HTML.. I ran a Bulletin Board System out of my home before the Internet got big. I'm thinking it might be something I can do.

Preview Build Discussion / Re: Questions about Ajaxamp/Ampwifi

« on: September 12, 2024, 06:37:18 AM »

I have 'winamp' Ver. 5.9.2 build 10042, Ajaxamp and Ampwifi Version 3.4a. It's all set up and it works.

I have the full version of WACUP version 1.99.20.199942 (not the Portable one.)
When I installed Ajaxamp I changed the install directory to reflect WACUP/Plugins/. I have verified that the gen_ajaxamp.dll files are in the Winamp/plugins AND in the WACUP/plugins/. I  have tested that Ajaxamp is working correctly by using chrome and putting the IP address and port number in address bar. But it would not connect to Ampwifi on my phone (Failed connection.). Then I turned off the firewall. PRESTO! it works.

One thing I hate is trying to set up, are rules for firewalls.
QUESTION: Is it safe to freely allow WACUP full internet access? Do I need to clamp down on it? What SHOULD be BLOCKED/ALLOWED to be safe?

One other thing that I found is even though the gen_ajaxamp.dll file is installed into winamp/plugins/ AND also installed into WACUP/Plugins/. They are somehow tied together. I wanted to use one port number for winamp and a different port number for WACUP. Then have 2 profiles in Ampwifi 1 for each program using different port numbers (Not running both winamp & WACUP at the same time, but just as an option). This dose NOT work. Some how they are tied together. If I open winamp and change a setting in Ajaxamp, save it and close winamp, open WACUP and go to the AJaxamp settings; the changes I made in winamp are also changed in the WACUP/ajaxamp settings. It also works the other way. If I change the Ajaxamp settings in WACUP, the same settings gets changed for the ajaxamp installed under winamp. Thus it is Impossible. to have multiple. installs of Ajaxamp Running on one PC using different settings ie. port numbers. At least thats what seems to be happening. If anyone has a workaround please let me know!

Thanks,

First I want to say I have had very little sleep working on this.  So If I sound like a raving lunatic I'm sorry.
*****I found the fix to the install problems. (oh and thanks for the quick response.)

Since you asked about my security settings I'll give ya the low down so you know what works and what I found dose not work.

    Windows 11 Pro

• avast virus checker and firewall
• Secondary virus checker Windows defender
• Windows Defender Application Control policy   Enforced
• TPM 2.0
• Core Isolation Memory integrity on
• boot to UEFI BIOS Mode
• Secure Boot State   On
• Kernel DMA Protection
• Virtualization-based security   Running
• A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

After slowly turning everything on/off It all came down to the setting found at:

Windows security/ apps and browser control/ reputation based protection/ check apps and files: turn to OFF

Once that is disabled the current build and all the previous builds will install the way they should.

I hope that helps you in some way!

Preview Build Discussion / Questions about Ajaxamp/Ampwifi

« on: September 11, 2024, 07:44:14 AM »

Hello, I have 'winamp' Ver. 5.9.2 build 10042, Ajaxamp and Ampwifi Version 3.4a. It's all set up and it works. I want to switch to WACUP version 1.99.20.199942. In searches it would seem like Ajaxamp and Ampwifi works with WACUP, but the post I found are rather old and AmpWifi was recently updated. For some reason I can not get WACUP to work with ampwifi.

I have tested Ajaxamp by using a browser and putting in the IP address and port number, and it is working on the PC. When I try to connect chrome on my android phone to the IP address it will not connect. when I run ampwifi it also fails to connect to WACUP, but it will connect with 'winamp'.

Questions:
1. Dose the upgraded ampwifi ver. 3.4a work with WACUP/ajaxamp?
2. Is it a conflict because I have Both Winamp and WACUP installed? (I really do not want to uninstall winamp untill Im 100% sure WACUP will work with ampwifi. Don't want to lose my settings.)
3. Are there other plugins/android apps that will do the same thing or better? (other then Homeseer/jon_00 plugin that costs $150)
4. Any tips or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for any help.
-Jaz

Hello everybody. I'm New to the forum, but a very long time winamp fan. I first found it in the late 90s. I don't know when it originally came out. but I found it in the late 90s, and I did not need to search for any other music player! I fell in love with winamp. and I haven't switched or changed since then. I was very pleased and excited to see that it's back in production. and that there's support for it. I have 'winamp' 5.9.2 and I do NOT like where they are taking the software at all. So, I'm switching to WACUP. I installed it a few days ago to check it out. I'm very grateful for this program and I hope to give you my support in any way I can.

Question: When I tried to install build 19994, I clicked on the install program and it did nothing. I then went to the previous build and nothing. I had to go all the way back to build WACUP_Preview_v1_0_21_7236 in order for it to install. Then it did an auto-update and it installed the latest build. It seemed like a possible security issue? Why did it do that?

I like what you've done With Home seer. Unfortunately, at $150 it's out of my price range. I'm just trying to run WACUP with my android phone. Do you know of any other plugins and android apps other then Ajaxamp/Ampwifi? I'm asking because I see your a beta tester and it's been over 3 years since you posted this, and I have been having trouble getting AmpWifi to work with the current WACUP Build 1.99.20.19994.
On a side note I was really impressed that you chose 'The Art Of Noise' as part of your demo!!!!
