Would be funny if Winamp gets a second life ~20 later.

Does Winamp play videos? I can’t remember right now, but ppl could implement if it doesn’t, right ? I miss the old 2.x skins and the playlist and the plugins

I have a feeling it did because I remember watching early rtsp multicast streams of the anime initial D found through winamp in like 1999 at 240p. It's so long ago that I'm not even sure that's a correct memory.

I did too around that time. I could use realtime to stream my tvtuner on a pentium 90MHZ and play it with winamp on another device.

Early Winamp user* and active forum member circa 2000-2005 here, IIRC Winamp cold play videos since around version 3, which came out in 2002.

i don't think it originally did it might now if someone adds it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

They added a video player with version 3, I think.
