Control over Screamer Radio

[DAGAZ]

Hi 2 @ll coders,

Possible?

What I want to do is to write an au3 which starts Radio Screamer (http://www.screamer-radio.com/) at a given time, sets the station I want to record, pushes the PLAY button, then whenever the stream is received, pushes the REC button.

I do not now how to tell the script when the scream is really received. In other words .. is music coming or is the stream / internet connection gone, cause it makes no sense to record silence :-)

Also want to stop the recording at a given time.

Can this be done with autoit??

Thanks for any ideas and help

Well, got it to start and record. So far no timer built in, 'cause I do not know how to do it yet :-)

I need help on how to get the window title of Screamer radios window. The title is constantly replaced with the playing song.

Reason for knowing : i want to make sure a stream is received, because if not, the title does not change and the script should not push the record button.

I tried :

$title = WinGetTitle("[Class:32770]", "")

$title returns 0 and not the "text"

Anyone knows how to program a start and stop timer?

Here is what I have so far.

;AU3 to start Screamer Radio, Record and Stop
;www.screamer-radio.com

;Set start time (Do not know how to do it ...yet)

;Fire up Screamer Radio
Run("C:\Screamer Radio\screamer.exe")

;Wait for the window "Screamer Radio" to exist and wait 3 sec.otherwise the script misses hitting the play button :-(
WinWait("Screamer Radio")
Sleep (3000)

;Push the play button
ControlClick ("Screamer", "",1002)

;Wait 10 seconds for stream to start (hopefully)
Sleep (10000)

;Push the Record button to start recording
;Can not figure out how to get the changing window titles of the Screamer Radio window to see if there is a song playing
;ID 1047 = Rec button
ControlClick ("","",1047)

;here goes the timer code...duration of recording, etc...Hmmm...so far only testing 
Sleep (20000)

;Push REC/Stop button. Only works IF Screamer Radio window is still the top window
; ID 1047 = Rec button
;Push Record button to stop recording
ControlClick ("","",1047)
Sleep (2000)

;ID 1003 = Stop button
;Push Stop button to stop stream
ControlClick ("","",1003)

;Wait 3 seconds for  Screamer's Window title is set back
Sleep (3000)

WinClose("Screamer", "")

Exit

Thanks for any help

for the timer refer to timerinit() and timerdiff() from help file..

$begin = TimerInit()
sleep(3000)
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
MsgBox(0,"Time Difference",$dif)

Manjish,

i guess I explained it wrong.. With timer I mean something where I can set a start and stop time.

Guess I need to make a GUI as well.

The helpfile you refer to shows me the difference between start and stop.

thanks for the tip

ya.. u'll have to make two buttons.. if u want to start and stop the timers..

about ur wingetitle, well can u tell me some part of the window title that never changes.. irrespective of the song.. there will be some part.. u can use it to get the complete title.. and then compare it with whatever u want, to decide whether the song has started or not..

Here i am asuming "scr" is there in the title, which never changes.. u can replace it with whatever the real thing is..

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
msgbox(4096,"",WinGetTitle("Scr",""))

hey just downloaded screamer.. and found a solution for ur WinGetTitle problem..

The "information" text never changes, irrespective of the title.. station, text etc..use it like this

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
msgbox(4096,"",WinGetTitle("","Information"))

Thanks a lot Manjish,

Hope you like Screamer

It works great... I have to figure out why and how it works. I am new to AutoIt.

Anyway, thanks. Now i can use WinClose:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
WinClose (WinGetTitle("","Information"),"")

Ok.. now what's left is to study the help file and learn more of autoit's syntax to get my GUI and timer working

Thanks again.
