Topic: Song title written to text file?

[0xc000007e]

I love this player. It's the select few applications keeping me from going to Linux.

I would use window capture on OBS to get the song title but it does not work for me.

So I would love a way to show song title on OBS but I can't.

Is there a plugin or something?

It can be done easily either using a plugin (like the XMPlay MSN or last.fm plugins), or using external software (by reading the window title). I did the latter many years ago using Visual Basic 6 and it was rather simple. No idea how hard or easy any of that would be with OBS though. Does it have a way of extracting window titles from arbitrary windows? If so, you can look for a window whose class name is "Winamp v1.x" and then read its title.

It appears getting the song from the title worked... but I can't get it to write it to a file for OBS to read it.
GetWindowText won't output to text file so that would not work.
Is there some software that does that?

So there was no software to do that... so I made a batch file for it!

Code: [Select]

@echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
:ree
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('tasklist /fi "imagename eq xmplay.exe" /fo list /v ^| find /i "window title:"') do @set pp=%%a
SET result=!pp:Window Title:=!
REM for /f "delims=" %%a in ('type ree.txt') do @set ree=%%a
if !result! NEQ !ree! (
REM echo !result!>ree.txt
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('echo !result!') do @set ree=%%a
<NUL set /p=!result!>temp.txt
echo modified
)
goto ree
