iTunes COM Help

[Damein]

If anyone could lend a hand helping me to learn how to use iTunes COM interface, I would be much obliged.

Just let me know via PM if you know how, because my last topic was removed for some reason

Thanks!

Possibly why it was deleted and/or why you aren't getting any replies...

Suggesting you get a basic understanding of COM in general first (have you read the intro to COM in the help file?) then post specific questions, like you did and

Alright, let's try this:

With the following script I am able to control some of iTunes functions.

Such as: Play/Pause, FastForward and basic stuff like that.

$iTunesApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application")

$iTunesApp.PlayPause

That will play or pause iTunes depending on which it is currently doing.

Now what I am aiming to do is detect if iTunes has started playing a new song via its outing interfaces event: OnPlayerPlayEvent ([in] VARIANT iTrack)

I cannot seem to get this one to work no matter what I do.

Here is the info provided by iTunes in the COM reference guide:

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.

But I can't seem to find out what I actually need to use.

Thanks in advance.
