I solved the JSON problem with a code snippet I found (MiniJSON). Actually I am almost done and I am surprised how it turned out to be. The script finds duplicate files of all files in playing now, suggests to keep the best one (user can select), merges the playlists the duplicate files are in, presents a user dialog to edit the artist, album, track, playlists, etc., it is possible to get track info from two online databases (Discogs and AllMusic), then it moves the file to the final folder, and also a cover image is downloaded.
As soon as it has all the bells and whistles on it I will post it here.
However, I come across another problem I cannot solve. While editing the track info in a dialog, I start playback of that song. After editing, the song is stopped, and the next track is played while editing. But after about 5 mins I always get a runtime error (see at end). Below is the relevant code I use to handle the playback. Can you help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
class Script : MarshalByRefObject {
PlayBack playback; // see PlayBack class below
MediaCenter.IMJCurPlaylistAutomation fpl; // will hold the Playing Now playlist of the main zone (Player)
public void Init(MediaCenter.MCAutomation mediaCenterInterface) {
fpl = mediaCenterInterface.GetZones().GetZone(0).GetCurPlaylist();
playback = new PlayBack(ref mediaCenterInterface, fpl); // does not make a difference if I use 'ref' or not
...
// playback is started and stopped in the Init method
...
}
...
private function () {
// there are also some functions where playback is started and stopped
}
...
}
public class PlayBack {
private MediaCenter.MCAutomation mca;
private MediaCenter.IMJCurPlaylistAutomation cpla;
private bool songplaying = false; // In order to play a song with the script, it must be added to the playing now list (first file), this var holds the information, if a song was added or not (for correct removal)
public PlayBack (ref MediaCenter.MCAutomation mcao, MediaCenter.IMJCurPlaylistAutomation cplao) {
mca = mcao;
cpla = cplao;
}
public bool play(int key, int startpos) {
try {
if (songplaying) stop();
cpla.AddFileByKey(key, 0);
cpla.Position = 0;
MediaCenter.IMJPlaybackAutomation play = mca.GetPlayback();
play.Play();
play.Position = startpos;
if (play.State!=MediaCenter.MJPlaybackStates.PLAYSTATE_STOPPED) songplaying = true;
}
catch (Exception _Exception) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in call PlayBack method play: {0}", _Exception.ToString());
return false;
}
return songplaying;
}
public void stop() {
try {
if (!songplaying) return;
MediaCenter.IMJPlaybackAutomation play = mca.GetPlayback();
play.Stop();
cpla.RemoveFile(0);
songplaying = false;
}
catch (Exception _Exception) {
Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in call PlayBack method stop: {0}", _Exception.ToString());
}
}
}
