rc4wa

rc4wa is a plugin for the popular Winamp multimedia player that allows you to control it using your TV-tuner remote. It offers you everything you need to fully manage playback through the use of play, stop, pause, seek and volume buttons.

With it you can also browse playlists and choose visualizations. rc4wa enables you to load and enjoy media files in AVI, MPEG, MPG, MPV2, MPE, WMV, ASF, DAT, IVF, VOB and DivX formats and listen to online radio stations.

During playback you can load subtitles and display various information about an open file such as elapsed time, track length and number, total track count in the playlist and of course, filename.

Accessing the Preferences section you are able to set the application to start when Windows loads and toggle to show screen digits. rc4wa displays a simple interface in the form of a small window which contains an indicator for the track number and quick access buttons for setup and application shut down.

You can also choose the path for the playlist, set to avoid playing tracks when the next and previous keys are pressed, enable fast scrolling and reverse the volume controls.

When it comes to the controller, the application enables you to choose the TV-tuner device and configure the RC buttons. Chip registers can be unlocked and modified according to your needs.

rc4wa provides a feature that auto restores volumes and you can choose whether you want to display the volume indicator or not. Moreover, it’s possible to select custom indicators for the bars as well as the tip.

The application can be connected to a phone via COM ports and once it begins to ring, the volume is automatically lowered. If the phone call is left unanswered or is finished, rc4wa resumes playing after a user specified time interval.
