Custom Media Impl.

In order to support more advanced use cases where you want Webamp to play media using something other than the Web Audio API, you can provide your own media player implementation. This is done by defining a class implements the IMedia interface.

This can be used (abused) to implement things like Winampify which uses the Webamp UI to control playback via the Spotify Web SDK, but could also be used to implement Webamp as a client for something like Music Player Daemon (MPD).

danger

This is a bit of a hack. The API is not considered stable and may change in future versions of Webamp.

Custom Media Implementation

import Webamp from "webamp";

class MyCustomMediaImpl {
  // Add methods such as seeking, volume control, etc.
}

const webamp = new Webamp({
  // ... other options
  __customMediaClass: MyCustomMediaImpl,
});

webamp.renderWhenReady(document.getElementById("winamp-container"));

tip

Check the types of the IMedia interface (found via the __customMediaClass config property) in Webamp's TypeScript types for details of the expected methods and properties.
