Hi
Sorry to ask for something to be done. I don't want to sound demanding or anything like that, but I know nothing about scripting.
I am running an xbox with XBMC (Xbox Media Center, Media Center application for the Xbox, obviously). The Xbox is networked to my computer which runs the latest version of WLM with MP!. There is an easy command to query what is currently playing on it.
http://192.168.0.23/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=getcurrentlyplaying
with 192.168.0.23 being the ip of the xbox in the Local Network, this simple command allows to retrieve that information.
and this is the html sourcecode of the page that results from queriyng this url:
code:
<html>
<li>Filename:F:\Music\I\Iron Maiden\The Number Of The Beast\Iron Maiden - Gangland.mp3
<li>SongNo:0
<li>Type:Audio
<li>Title:Gangland
<li>Artist:Iron Maiden
<li>Album:The Number of the Beast
<li>Genre:Metal
<li>Year:1998
<li>Bitrate:130
<li>Samplerate:44
<li>Thumb:q:\userdata\Thumbnails\Music\ecd3458e.tbn
<li>PlayStatus
laying
<li>Time:0:01
<li>Duration:3:46
<li>Percentage:0
<li>File size:3674112</html>
shouldn't it be quite simple to query this url every thirty seconds and display song information in WLM? If so, could anyone be so kind and write an MP! script for that purpose? Again, I am sorry to ask this, but I am clueless on how one would be able to do that, so I appologise if one is not allowed to make request.
Thanks in advance
Horscht
