"Now Playing" Mirc script.

[hondaman]

I know this is pretty silly in the overall scheme of things, but I would like a "Now Playing" script for mirc and vlc.

For those who dont know what that is, when you open a media player, say, winamp, and play a song, movie, etc, and have a proper script for mirc, the script will display on irc what exactly you are listening to or watching.

Thank you!

It is trivial to create something like this. Big issue is that mIRC is Windows only.
Best thing would be to write info to text file which could be used by any program (other IRC clients, desktop extenders, LED displays)

I don't know how mirc handles this ... but i've already added a "Now playing..." msn plugin in the dev version. If people want to add support for other functions, feel free to look at modules/misc/msn.c .

Is there a good chance that this could be extended to dump now playing info into a text file? I would get so much milage out of that.

I have been looking for something like this for ages, if anyone could script such a thing, or explain on how it could be done, that would be awesome.

E-bola on #videolan (Freenode) has a working script.

Anyone out there that has a working script?

I'm trying to get this to work

None of those scripts are working for me, sigh if only GTSDLL had included VLC as a compatible player, before it's creators abandoned it...

Code: Select all

alias vlc { sockclose vlc sockopen vlc localhost 8080 sockmark vlc $1 } on *:sockopen:vlc: { if ($sockerr) { echo -a VLC läuft anscheinend nicht. | return } sockwrite -n $sockname GET /requests/status.xml HTTP/1.1 sockwrite -n $sockname Host: $sock($sockname).addr sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: close sockwrite -n $sockname } on *:sockread:vlc: { var %t | sockread %t if ($regex(%t,/<(?:info name=")?(\S+?)"?>(?:<!\[CDATA\[)?(.*?)(?:\]\]>)?</(?:\1|info)>/i)) && ($regml(2) != $null) { set %vlc. $+ $regml(1) $regml(2) } } on *:sockclose:vlc: { var %out 14[7VLC-Player14] NowPlaying: $iif(%vlc.artist,$v1 -) %vlc.title if ($sock($sockname).mark == echo) { echo -a %out } elseif ($v1 == say) { msg $active %out } else { var %x 1 while ($var(vlc.*,%x)) { echo -a $v1 => $var(vlc.*,%x).value inc %x } } unset %vlc.* } menu channel { - VLC .Im Channel Anzeigen: /vlc say .Nur Echo zeigen: /vlc echo }

doesn´t work since update 2.0.7 , any ideas?


Thx ...

I managed to get a piece of code working well enough with the latest version of VLC.

Make sure you have your http server running in VLC (and restart). (The 127.0.0.1:8080) As this pulls from the generated XML file.

As for setting up IRC, I am going to assume you have that down.

This code works fine for displaying The filename, The encoding, and the Frames per second of the video.

I have it modified for an ontext call,.. in this particular code snippet it is !VidInfo , but change whatever you want for your needs.

Code: Select all

on *:TEXT:!vidinfo*:#: { sockclose vlc sockopen vlc localhost 8080 } on *:sockopen:vlc: { if $sockerr > 0 { echo -at vlc not running | sockclose vlc } sockwrite -n $sockname GET /requests/status.xml HTTP/1.1 sockwrite -n $sockname Host: localhost sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: Keep-Alive sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf } on *:sockread:vlc: { if $sockerr > 0 { echo -a error | sockclose vlc } sockread %vlcx ;echo -a %vlcx if (*name='filename'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='filename'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { set %vlcann1 $regml(1) } } if (*name='Frame rate'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='Frame rate'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { var %vlcann2 $regml(1) } } if (*name='Codec'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='Codec'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { var %vlcann3 $regml(1) msg $active VLC %vlcann1 :: %vlcann3 $+ @ $+ %vlcann2 fps unset %vlcann1 } } }

Hope that helps you out!

Thanks Chromatic, I was able to get the script to work. The only problem I am having now is that it won't display other tags! I change the word "codec" to "title" and it outputs nothing there! Is there something I am missing? The tags are working when I chack localhost:8080/requests/status.xml but they won't get pulled by mirc!

now it works

set password to Lua Interface an add it to the script

Code: Select all

menu channel { VLC - Now Playing: { sockclose vlc sockopen vlc localhost 8080 } } on *:sockopen:vlc:{ if $sockerr > 0 { echo -at 4VLC ist nicht gestartet | sockclose vlc } sockwrite -n $sockname GET /requests/status.xml HTTP/1.1 sockwrite -n $sockname Host: localhost sockwrite -n $sockname Authorization: Basic $encode(:MYPASSWORD,m) sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: Keep-Alive sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf } on *:sockread:vlc: { if $sockerr > 0 { echo -a error | sockclose vlc } sockread %vlcx ;echo -a %vlcx if (*name='artist'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='artist'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { set %artist $regml(1) } } if (*name='title'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='title'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { var %title $regml(1) } } if (*name='album'>* iswm %vlcx) { if ($regex(%vlcx,<info name='album'>\s*\K(.+?)(?=\s*<\/info>)) == 1) { var %album $regml(1) msg $active 7VLC::14 %artist 15-14 %title unset %artist unset %title unset %album } } }

Have fun and thanks to Chromatic
