Hey there. just wondered if there is a way to use your - besides, way cool - plugin in that way that it displays the cool visuals when there's just audio data playing and hides itsself or sth else to display the video when winamp plays back a video.
Maybe it's plain and easy but i just didn't find an option to and neither did i find hints in several forums (including this one)
thx for the help

This is not possible with R4 mainly because it is not intergrated with winamp really.

I don't know of any vis that does this although it is often request for AVS, MilkDrop, et al.

I think too the winamp devolpment infrastucture will have to change for teh possibility of this happening.

Sorry

Yeah. I had a go at making R4 in a winamp window yesterday. With suitable mods to WinAmp, it could then hide/minimize R4 when playing video.

Unfortunately WinAmp suddenly goes extremely unstable :S (not R4 i hasten to add ;) ) so i've had to pull it out of the next version.
