Damein Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 So I am trying to implement some iTunes control in a script but I am having trouble finding out how to use their COM files (Never used anything with COM before) So here is the section from the iTunes COM Interface file: HRESULT _IiTunesEvents::OnPlayerPlayEvent ( [in] VARIANT iTrack ) The ITEventPlayerPlay event is fired when a track begins playing. When iTunes switches to playing another track, you will received an ITEventPlayerStop event followed by an ITEventPlayerPlay event, unless it is playing joined CD tracks (see _IiTunesEvents::OnPlayerPlayingTrackChangedEvent). Parameters: iTrack An IITTrack object (a VARIANT of type VT_DISPATCH) corresponding to the track that has started playing. So I am attempting to make a script do something if a song starts to play. I was able to use other parts of the help file like: HRESULT IiTunes::PlayPause ( ) Toggle the playing/paused state of the current track. Return values: S_OK The operation was successful. E_FAIL An unexpected error occurred. But I can't seem to use the song start one. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Most recent sig.

MrMitchell Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Again...I don't have iTunes installed so this is only guessing, might want to try it out in a test script or something: #include <iTunes.au3> ;object is $iTunesApp Global $aCurrentTrack ;Create event handler for $iTunesApp object $iTunesObjEvent = ObjEvent($iTunesApp, "iTunesEvent_") Func iTunesEvent_OnPlayerPlayEvent($objTrack) _ITunesUpdateCurrentTrack() ;Update info array ConsoleWrite("Now playing: " & $aCurrentTrack[2] & @CRLF) ;Is $aCurrentTrack[2] the title? EndFunc ;Following updates the current track info array Func _ITunesUpdateCurrentTrack() $aCurrentTrack = _iTunes_Current_GetInfo() EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
