hi
whats the easyest way to rename a label to the title mc is playing???

[KingSparta]

I dont understand the question

[SBrandsborg aka Mouseman]

if i make a

Code: [Select]


label1.caption = (SOMETHING)



SOMETHING shall be the title of the playing song

[KingSparta]

oh

I don't think there is a direct way in doing this

I do not remember how it can be done but i know it can be.

if you remember someone made a "Listening to:" plug-in and i asked him how he did it and he told me but i lost the message.

anyone?
i just need to know what command i need to get the title, artist etc on my plugin...

i cant find out the automation
hehe
i think its something like
MJFileAutomation.Name()
but i cant get it work :s

Hi, Mouseman.  Try this....

cmjAutomation = 'whatever VB code you need to get ahold of a CMJAutomation COM object
curPlaylistAutomation = cmjAutomation.GetCurPlaylist()
curPlayingNowIndex = curPlaylistAutomation.Position() 'this is an integer
curFile = curPlaylistAutomation.GetFile(curPlayingNowIndex)  'Now you have a CMJFileAutomation object.
titleLabel.caption = curFile.Name()
artistLabel.caption = curFile.Artist()
albumLabel.caption = curFile.Album()
' etc. etc.


The above is untested code, as I do not use VB, but hopefully the idea is clear.

Regards,
Soundman

still haveing alot of problems.. i have looked abit at the busybox sdk
and come up with

    Dim MJCurPlaylist As MediaJukebox.MJCurPlaylistAutomation
    Set MJCurPlaylist = g_MJ.GetCurPlaylist
        ' get the file
        Dim MJFile As MediaJukebox.MJFileAutomation
        Set MJFile = MJCurPlaylist.GetFile(z)
   Label1.Caption = MJFile.Name



but its not what i need... i need it to display what song im playing right now..


Thanks soundman BUT i cant undestand your code hehe :s

It's pretty easy to do

Have a look at the Example (BusyBox) for how to get the info on the playing now tracks.

Then just assign the name of the file to the label.
