I just finished this script and thought some other people might be interested.
Enjoy!--- FLaRe85's WMP nowPlaying Script for mIRC ---
[ Background ]
Have you ever noticed the abundance of Winamp nowPlaying scripts out there?
There's a ton of them! Yet, if you search for a similar script to use with
Windows Media Player, you usually turn up empty. That's, at least, what
happened to me. So, I figured that I had no other choice but to conjur up
my efforts and attempt my own script. This script is the result of those
efforts. I hope you enjoy it.
[ Features ]
- Automatic parsing of the following:
* Author
* Title
* Duration
* Format
* Bitrate
- Recognizes a stopped or halted playstate and displays accordingly
- Support for all of WMP's native formats
[ Requirements ]
- mIRC v6.0x
- Windows Media Player 9
[ Installation ]
1) Run the included NowPlaySetup2.exe to install the required WMP Plugin
Leave all settings at default (the included ini file will handle that)
2) If your mIRC client is installed at the default location skip this step
Otherwise:
Open NowPlaying.ini and edit the string "C:\Program Files\mIRC\nowplaying.txt"
to point to your mIRC program directory leaving "nowplaying.txt" intact
3) Copy NowPlaying.ini to your WINDOWS directory
4) Copy nowPlaying.mrc to your mIRC program directory
5) Start mIRC and type "/load -rs nowPlaying.mrc" then return to load the script
You should be all set and ready to go!
[ Usage ]
- Type /wmp at the prompt or select WMP Song Info from the right-click menu
