Thanks I never noticed the right click on PRG button.

I tried to associate a def and the Playlist works perfectly, to do this just create a Def Icons and configure the extension on DefIcon prefs.

You can use any extension I made a test naming the playlist with .hippl extension and then created a def_hippl.info

I also tried to create a Datatypes Descriptor with file recognition even without extension, on AROS it worked perfectly, the Plylist is recognized with any extension and even without any extension.

Now I'm trying to associate the "playlist without" without extension also on OS3

For MP3 the best choice is AmigaAMP and TKPlayer.

It works fine in AOS 3.1 too, maybe you set something wrong in DefIconsPrefs?

Found the right solution, now the HippoPlayer Playlist will be recognized and associated to HippoPlayer even without extension, see attached video

What was the conclusion, is there a DefIcons related bug in Hippo?
Has anyone tried the AOS3.2 DefIcons mechanism, does that work differently?

No Bugs, just do the right configuration !

I think it's more fun to keep it properly retro and not change the old ways too much

also the resulting playlist/program file that is saved starts its first line as "HipPrg" probably to identify it as such?

Correct, filename is not used.

It's awesome hippolplayer keeps updating!
Quick question:
Does it support AY/YM chip tunes? If so, is it based on the same PlayAY routine that Eagleplayer and Delitracker use?

Con "HipPrg" la Playlist verrà riconosciuta anche senza estensione, se invece si desidera far riconoscere per estensione, configurare l'estensione specifica che si desidera utilizzare.

Anyway it's not about new things, I used to associate files 30 years ago !

These tunes are not supported at the moment.

[vulture]

Ah, alright! Regardless, if you ever find the will to add support, just so you know, PlayAY is quite inaccurate and mangles many tunes. Not that I've found a better alternative on the Amiga. Again, keep up the great work, it's almost surreal (in a very good way) that hippoplayer gets updated in 2021!

Overall, for me, a much better solution (than associate a playlist) is built into HippoPlayer: Fuction Keys

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The association with Function Keys is also ok, unless these Function Keys are not occupied by other Applications!

[AmiClassic]

I have the same function keys set in FM and HP and there has never been a collision, because these keys only work in the active program (window).

Hippo also supports what is called "hotkeys". To send a key press to Hippo from anywhere, press LAMIGA+LSHIFT+CONTROL+<key>. This needs to be first enabled in Prefs, though.

I just thought to have some fun coding, but was surprised how active the Amiga community is. There are paper magazines being published and new hardware available. Amiga alternative reality going strong!

Honestly, I for one am very grateful! I was using deliplayer and then Eagleplayer but they haven't been updated and my ClassicWB came with Hippoplayer!

i did this and my deficon entry is working but hip simply didnt launch this way, confirmed deficon was doing its thing by using snoopdos, which said it was "successful" in its launch with the correct parameters/paths/everything but hip didnt show up unless i did so via cli, no idea why it wont launch via workbench/deficons the normal way, might have to have a play around and see whats going wrong my end. my other deficon stuff is working so atm im stumped.

As for the deficon entry, it does work, snoopdos confirms it, i added an entry that looks for #?.hippl, or "HiPPrg" at offset 0 for ASCII files.

---

Also yeah i use amigaamp for mp3's normally, but as hip also did it, i was just hoping to use that instead as it already partially works, i mostly use amigaamp to listen to internet radio like Slay Radio. HiP only seems to crash/lock up when an mp3 is finished and is about to move to the next song or repeat the same mp3, when it does play, its perfectly fine.

Okay, ive learned something new again today. Found my issue, it's because i use SwazInfo (dont like the look/feel/useage of normal/alternatives), as such, there is no Start From: CLI/Shell/ARexx option, when i disable swazinfo i see the new options, can set it to use CLI/Dont prompt for input and it works.

However i was surprised that when i re-enabled Swazinfo, it appears i can keep it and dont need the alternatives/default, when i info'd the icon after they were fixed by default OS3.2, i see that when viewed with SwazInfo, the icons now have 2 new tooltypes, "CLI and DONOTPROMPT", so it seems i just need to remember these 2 new tooltypes i havent seen before and can use them for future instances like this while retaining SwazInfo.

Got there in the end, thanks again for others letting me know stuff just worked for them and i by default had an issue, and had to go find the issue

probably due to the rise of cheaper fpga's and emulation in general on stuff like ripi's, also helps we got os3.2 recently to actually support hyperion rather than support cloanto who seem to keep taking everyone illegitimately to court when amiga os tries to resurrect itsself on classic systems.

Also amazed to find sites like https://itch.io/games-like/382764/doc-cosmos, found this site not long ago and was amazed to see brand new games for the C64/etc, bought a load already, good stuff seeing new code/games/programs for old systems, about to look for anything amiga as well now.
