Script problem

[Guest]

[Service-Team]

Maybe a little just before f.write will help you finding out what should be written. If this is okay - are you sure, no one else is writing the file at the moment?

Best regards,
Your Silverjuke Team

Hi S Team tried the alert(track), when a song is selected it opens up a ok box over SJ with an ! mark telling me of the script im running, and the exported file still contain garbled chars ie: 攀瑳

and no one else is writing to the file !!

I think the "alert(track)" should display the content of the variable "track" - maybe it will be helpful to post a screenshot here so that we can be sure we're talking about the same things.

Hope this sheds some light on it for anyone

Thanks

Reading the complete thread, I think you do *not* want to write the music selection with - which is empty in *many* cases ...

... I think you you want to write the current URL or the current title, so you should use

Another tip is, again, the backslash eg. in "c:\on.exe" - this is converted to the character "\o" - don't know if there is a representation for this. If you really want to use the backslash you have to escape it as "\\". The service team always recommends to use the forward slash instead, "c:/on.exe" in this case.

Another hint: If you want to append eg. new URLs to an existing file, you should use

f.pos = f.length;

just after calling "f = new File('c:/sjTrackinfo.txt');". This will set the current file position to the end of the file. As Silverjuke seems not to do this automatically, this may be also an explanation for the "trash" in your file - this may come from older tests ...

Thanks so much for your help B. looks like im having some success,i used the the player.getArtistAtPos(0) and getTitleAtPos(0)instead of player.getUrlAtPos() that you suggested all seems good apart from when c:/sjTrackinfo.txt is written to and a new song is started in SJ it adds a new Artist and title to the txt file every time, i was after having just the present artist and title only !

Heres my script >

var oldPlaying = false;
f = new File('c:/sjTrackinfo.txt');
f.pos = f.length;

function myhandler()
{
var nowPlaying = player.isPlaying();
if( nowPlaying != oldPlaying )
{
// here you should do sth. that your external application
// understand. Maybe you find a command line tool that can
// send MIDI events?
if( nowPlaying )
{
program.run('C:/FX_ON.exe');
artist = player.getArtistAtPos(0);
title = player.getTitleAtPos(0);
f.write(artist + " : " + title);
f.flush(artist);
f.flush(title);
}
else
{
program.run('C:/FX_OFF.exe');
}

// remember the new state
oldPlaying = nowPlaying;
}
}

program.setTimeout(myhandler, 500, true);

Thanks
