Has this script become broken again? Since iTunes 11, I havent been able to use it and iTunes is open.. this shows up:

* No such Com 'CurrentTrack' open (line 40, itunes 2.mrc)

I do video casts sometimes and you always get those people that hear a song. and "What song is that" I want it so I can just type !song and get the info.

And Thank you... Finally works.

i hadn't really payed attention to the actual code i just edited KillerX's version, but thanks

sunslayer, when I first used the $strip() in the match text section of an event like that, I was corrected by jaytea to use:

		Code 			
on @*:TEXT:$($iif(!song * iswm $strip($1),$1)):#:{	

But this setup is still considered impractical and he's gonna include the reason why in his upcoming tutorial when it's ready.

Respond

sunslayer - Jan 08, 2011

		Code 			
on @*:TEXT:$($+($strip(!song),*)):#: {
  track $1
}	

i still don't see the purpose in puttin this on a bot

Respond

KilllerX - Jan 08, 2011

Still This Snippet can be used on a Bot. can it not. I uploaded the code to my mIRC bot. and doing the

/itunes open
/itunes next
/itunes previous
/itunes stop
/track

All did what the coding tells it to do. All I want is for it to do a code to make the mirc do /track when I type it from another name.

Respond

sunslayer - Jan 08, 2011

this snippet isn't intended to be used for a bot.

Respond

KilllerX - Jan 08, 2011

Still can't figure it out....

I have tried

		Code 			
on @*:TEXT:$($+($strip(!song),*)):#: { 
  /track 
}	

		Code 			
on @*:TEXT:$($+($strip(!song),*)):#: { 
  track 
}
	

neither of these worked.

So again Help would be nice!

(oh don't necessarily ask why that is exactly how I had it. I copied from something old I had and re-modified)

*knows there is a way to make a script to make it so that I don't have to do this though mIRC each time.*

I want to be able to just type !track or !song or something along those lines. and it display this.

I thought it was along the lines of

		Code 			
On @*:text:!song:#:{
 track
}
	

But I can't get it to work. Maybe I am missing some other coding. Any information will be helpful.

is there any way to get this to auto announce as itunes changes the song

Respond

bybib - Feb 12, 2010

I noticed since adding this script my status gets spammed with GETINFO Unknown command
is that due to the script itself or something else? I can't figure out why it would do that all i know is that as i have the script active i get repeats of that in my status.

umm yes uses $com objects, you can make it open itunes though hence the /itunes open, you could use %blah = blah but i prefer being direct with my scripts.

Respond

Silo - Dec 15, 2009

Interesting So it just uses $com objects to access itunes if it's open? Is there a tutorial for that kind of thing?

PS - Do you really need to use set %var? couldn't var = %time etc work just as well?
