how do i filter the Messenger.MyCurrentMedia thing? i need help

it always ends up like {0}\Music or something like that >_>..

You should use a regular expression for that.

Here's a small function which will return an array containing the information out of a media string.

code:

---

function parseMedia(Media) {
   var mediaExp = /^\\0([a-z]+)\\0([0-1])\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0$/i;
   if(typeof(Media) == "string" && mediaExp.test(Media)) {
      var arr = new Array();
      arr['type'] = RegExp.$1;
      arr['enabled'] = RegExp.$2;
      arr['format'] = RegExp.$3;
      arr['title'] = RegExp.$4;
      arr['artist'] = RegExp.$5;
      arr['album'] = RegExp.$6;
      arr['contentId'] = RegExp.$7;
      return arr;
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}

---

An example to use this:

code:

---

var arrMedia = parseMedia(Messenger.MyCurrentMedia);
if(!arrMedia) {
   //Here you can work with the arrMedia array
   Debug.Trace("Now Playing: " + arrMedia['artist'] + " - " + arrMedia['title'];
} else {
   //The media string was invalid
}

when i use it in the OnEvent_MyMediaChange function it ends up as undefined... i just copied and pasted the code

It is an error on your part as the function works fine...

code:

---

var MediaInfo = new Array();

function OnEvent_MyMediaChange(NewMedia){
      MediaInfo = parseMedia(NewMedia);
      for(i in MediaInfo){
            Debug.Trace(i+" - "+MediaInfo[i]);
      }

}

function parseMedia(Media) {
      var mediaExp = /^\\0([a-z]+)\\0([0-1])\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0(.*)\\0$/i;
      if(typeof(Media) == "string" && mediaExp.test(Media)) {
            var arr = new Array();
            arr['Type'] = RegExp.$1;
            arr['Enabled'] = RegExp.$2;
            arr['Format'] = RegExp.$3;
            arr['Title'] = RegExp.$4;
            arr['Artist'] = RegExp.$5;
            arr['Album'] = RegExp.$6;
            arr['ContentId'] = RegExp.$7;
            Debug.Trace(arr);
            return arr;
      } else {
            return false;
      }
}

Whats the point in quoting the message before you if you're not going to refer to it or make a further point? Just type a normal reply if a quote isn't needed
