MilkDrop 3 as a plugin for players?

[xeophyte]

HI, is it possible to create MilkDrop 3 as a plugin for players, just as it was in MilkDrop 2?
It used winamp wrapper thing, vis_milk2.dll and few other files to work in players like AIMP etc.

Hi, the problem is, if I make a dll for Winamp, it only works for Winamp. Then I would need to make another one for Foobar2000, another one for AIMP... and that's too much work. It's much easier for me to make 1 version compatible with every player, like it is right now.

As far as I know, this wrapper allowed MilkDrop to run in other players, such as AIMP, but I could be wrong. I used it for years, long time ago (with earlier versions of AIMP). Here is the installation instruction (from aimp_vis_winamp.txt) for the older version of AIMP, when it worked:

Installation:

      1. Install aimp_vis_winamp.dll in AIMP's PlugIns directory.
      2. Open/Restart AIMP.
      3. Load/activate the Plugin (aimp_vis_winamp.dll) in the Plugin Manager.
      4. Make sure the option 'Emulate Winamp' is selected in the Plugin Manager.


How to load a Winamp Plugin:

      1. Activate the Winamp Wrapper visualisation
      2. Press the middle mouse button on the visualisation window
      3. Choose "Load Plugin..." and select a winamp plugin file.


How to get to the config screen of a winamp vis plugin:

      Choose "Configure" from the visualisation menu

Currently MilkDrop 2 plugin is not working with AIMP 5 (or I don't know how to install it).
Foobar has v2 in its own plugin format https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_vis_milk2, still working.
