How do you get the SharedUserRating value (according to the MSDN docs this is the user specified rating)? I tried creating a function to pull "wm/SharedUserRating" but it's always empty.

Func WMGetSharedUserRating($sObj)

Return $sObj.GetItemInfo("WM/SharedUserRating")

EndFunc

TIA

I may be wrong, but I think all of the "WM/" attributes only apply to WMA and other Windows Media filetypes. You might be able to use "Rating" instead.

Tried that earlier...returns nothing.

The ratings apply to all media formats Granted most of these are stored within the WM database however, if you have the 'global'/'retain my rating' option enabled in WMP, it will create a ID3 tag in the MP3 file. I just haven't figured out how to extract/write to this tag.

How about this instead of individual property functions:

Func WMGet($sObj, $sAttrib)
    Return $sObj.GetItemInfo($sAttrib)
EndFunc

You can call it this way:

Func _RetrieveMeta($sObj)
    ConsoleWrite("(_RetrieveMeta) Retrieving WMP tags")
    Dim $aMeta[2][$aWMPTags[0]+1]
    $aMeta[0][0] = 1
;~  $sMsg = ""
    for $i = 1 to $aWMPTags[0]
        ConsoleWrite(".")
        $aMeta[1][$i] = WMGet($sObj, $aWMPTags[$i])
;~      $sMsg &= $i & " - " & $aWMPTags[$i] & ": " & $aMeta[1][$i] & @CRLF
    Next
;~  msgbox(0,$sAppTitle,$sMsg)
    ConsoleWrite("done" & @CRLF)
    return $aMeta
EndFunc

Main script will look like this:

$aWMPTags = StringSplit("AcquisitionTime,AlbumID,AlbumIDAlbumArtist,Author,AverageLevel,Bitrate,BuyNow,BuyTickets,Copyrig
ht,CurrentBitrate,Duration,FileSize,FileType,Is_Protected,IsVBR,MediaType,MoreInfo,PeakValue,Provide
rLogoURL,ProviderURL,RecordingTime,ReleaseDate,RequestState,SourceURL,SyncState,Title,TrackingID,Use
rCustom1,UserCustom2,UserEffectiveRating,UserLastPlayedTime,UserPlayCount,UserPlaycountAfternoon,Use
rPlaycountEvening,UserPlaycountMorning,UserPlaycountNight,UserPlaycountWeekday,UserPlaycountWeekend,
UserRating,UserServiceRating,WM/AlbumArtist,WM/AlbumTitle,WM/Category,WM/Composer,WM/Conductor,WM/ContentDistributor,WM/ContentGroupDescription,WM/EncodingTime,WM/Genre,WM/GenreID,WM/InitialKey,WM/Language,WM/Lyrics,WM/MCDI,WM/MediaClassPrimaryID,WM/MediaClassSecondaryID,WM/Mood,WM/ParentalRating,WM/Period,WM/ProtectionType,WM/Provider,WM/ProviderRating,WM/ProviderStyle,WM/Publisher,WM/SubscriptionContentID,WM/SubTitle,WM/TrackNumber,WM/UniqueFileIdentifier,WM/WMCollectionGroupID,WM/WMCollectionID,WM/WMContentID,WM/Writer,WM/Year", ",")

$sObj = WMOpenFile($sFilename)
$aMeta = _RetrieveMeta($sObj)

Works for me. :)

How about a WMSet...so we can adjust the values in the files! Something like this (I already know it doesn't work...but you get the idea):

Func WMSet($sObj, $sAttrib, $sValue)
    if wmget($sObj, "Is_Protected") = "false" then $sObj.SetItemInfo($sAttrib, $sValue)
EndFunc

I just don't know how to get the setiteminfo to work. :)

According to:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb262748.aspx

SetItemInfo: "If you embed the Windows Media Player control in your application, file attributes that you change will not be written to the digital media file until the user runs Windows Media Player."

Perhaps if Windows Media Player (the program, not the object) is also running, perhaps minimized, the info can be set/read in real time? Just a theory. Good luck with your project, it sounds interesting.

If I want to get the current playing item info in WMP. But not the script ask to open a specific file(just like the Active WinAMP UDF). how can i do?

And can I get the current play time and seek time to play?

Thanks

Like, attach to a Media Player application window, and query to find out what's currently playing? I don't think you can do that no. It would be nice though. You can do that with an IE window using _IEAttach, but that uses some dark magic which I don't think can be applied here. (at least, not casually...)

Thanks for your reply.

I'm interested how to use _IEAttach, to do something like that can you tell me more about this?

Using this approach (BTW very nice UDF there CFire) is there a way to build a dynamic "spectrum analyzer" ...equalizer?

Are the hooks accessible in the Windows Media Player Com Object to do such?

Thanks,
