command for current music song ?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to make a command to see what current song is playing?

 

#current_song

Current song is: Castle Road by Zenogias

 

It's ok if that line would have to be defined, maybe in the .pll's aside the song definition.

it shouldn't be that hard to do, and no changes to the .pll should be required, the name and author can be saved in the music file itself (I just checked castle road, and that one is... I can't be certain I didn't do it myself though)

it's highly probably that the ogg library we're using has the function to read the song name and artist from the file readily available, so we'd only need to do that when we load the song and remember it, adding the command is simple.

 

I'm going out shortly, but I'll look into this when I get home again. shouldn't take too long to make the changes

hm, then we'd have to make sure that that info IS in all the .ogg files. If not we'll have to put it there...i'll have to find out how to do that.

I kinda figured I'd do like winamp does; if the title isn't known, then use the file name (and don't list the artist if you don't know it)

but yes, all .oggs should be given the right details, any media player that can play oggs should be able to edit the comments (such as title and artist)

 

okay, I checked, 9 by Zenogias have the comments included, the rest of the files don't

Vorbis spec actually; the data structure:

 

Vorbisfile: http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/vorbisfile/vorbis_comment.html

Commenting: http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

Getting the comment: http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/vorbisfile/ov_comment.html

 

Anyway, to edit comments, just use the vorbiscomment program from the vorbis-tools download on vorbis.com

the patch is made now, thanks to help from lachesis (I can't play music in my client, so I needed someone else to test it. luckily only a few changes were needed)

lachesis intends to do a review of that and a couple other of my patches and commit them if they're workable; but anyone else is welcome to check it for possible improvements (patch is here)

 

currently, only the songs by Zenogias have the title and artist info set, so for any other song you will get the file name. if the title is set but no artist, that works too. if there's an artist but no title, we just do filename and ignore artist

 

example output:

 

Currently playing: "Castle Road" by Zenogias (2:04/2:32)

Currently playing: "City By Night" (1:00/1:47)

Currently playing: "nightcity1.ogg" (0:13/2:44)

No song is currently playing

This client was built without music support

 

 

"city by night" does have the artist set, I'm pretending it doesn't for the example

hopefully no-one will ever see the last message... but in case someone compiles the client without music and then tries to find out what song is playing( :P ) they get that message

Pretty. Just one little comment - You may want to add a newline at the end of sound.c to stop it throwing warnings with gcc.

:D okay, that's done... warnings with gcc from no newline? interesting... :bow_arrow:

I believe that it's based on the assumption that people will hit enter after finishing a function, etc., thus lack of one meaning they didn't finish, crashed, or something.

or an incomplete file transfer, yes. in the *nix world most text editors add the newline at the end when you save anyway, so when in *nix the compiler assuming a newline is fair enough

I ust need to vet my patches a bit more thoroughly (since there's usually other changes mixed in the typical patch needs to be trimmed down anyway, so I go through them... I missed that no-eol thing in the patch file though <_< )

Can someone apply this patch if it hasn't been?

It doesn't look like it could break anything, or even really have bugs, so I suggest ttlanhil merge it?
