View Full Version : Get "Current Playing Track" into Ocelot variable

I am using the Ocelot/Leopard plugin to control my Musicmatch MP3 player using X10.

Is there any way to get the current album/track information, and send it to an Ocelot variable? I think I can send it to a variable using the plugin, but I need to copy current selection to data?

Probably a LUA script?

Thanks,

Hi Todd,

The only way I can think of doing this is by trying to get the song name from the window title - if music match puts it there?

Since Musicmatch has no title bar, I don't know.

Would Winamp have this ability?

I would assume there is a way to get current Windows task info, I just don't know how.

Thanks

You can do this with winamp.

See the lua systems function plugin or use dvd spy to get this info.
