hi guys!
i'm from italy and i'm a newbie on this forum...

can i post a plug.in request here?

i absolutely need foo_mirc for the new 0.7 version....anyone working at it?

thanks!

Hi i really don't think this was the right thread to post in, you should have posted it as a new thread in the 3rd party plugins forum.

Regarding foo_mirc, there really is no need for it, if want to paste what you are playing into irc just use the copy function in foobar, fully customisable. just bind a global hotket to "currently played sond" and then you can just paste it into irc using ctrl-v.

Hope this helps

BTW, for advanced options and variables you can use AMIP: http://amip.tools-for.net .

I want to be able to type /foobar or similar in mirc, and then it should display what song im listening to.

I dont want to spam all channels, i dont want to spam what song im listening to every time foobar changes song.

How do I do that with amip ?

This is described in AMIP Quick Start:

...
3. Setting up options "I want to announce manually, only when I press hotkey in mIRC or type some command, how can I accomplish this?"

Well, this question is the most common one, so read very carefully =)

The first thing you probably want to do is to stop automatic announcing. There are several ways. You can just disable IRC integration or remove all the text from the preset. In the second case please be sure to choose some other preset than the first one, because the first one will be restored to the default value.

OK, now AMIP doesn't announce automatically and we need to make mIRC to announce when we press hotkey (or type some command). Fortunately AMIP is flexible enough to pass its variables to mIRC upon request. For the detailed information you can refer to the mIRC Scripting section, here I will describe the basics.

The easiest way is to use $dde variable with format option. Open mIRC aliases editor and type in the following:

F12 /me $dde(mPlug,format,"np:_%name_[%min:%sec~m/%br~Kbps/%sr~KHz]")

Now every time you hit F12, you'll get just the same as described in the previous chapter.

F12 is the hotkey, you can use some command instead of this, for example /mp3, /me is a mIRC command to say what you are doing. $dde has 3 arguments: mPlug is the AMIP dde server name, format is AMIP internal command, it tells AMIP that it should interpret the third parameter as a usual preset. The third parameter is the text with variables you want to be printed in mIRC. There is one important limitation, you can't use spaces in this parameter, all spaces must be replaced with the underscores. You can use all the other AMIP variables in it like in the usual preset.

In the mIRC scripting section you will find the complete script sample using this approach. It sets mIRC variables to AMIP variables using $dde and then build output line using only scripting language. This one is for advanced users who are keen at mIRC scripting. You can get full control over the AMIP options, get all the variables, control Winamp from your script, etc.

...

In the above example you can use any alias instead of F12, for example:

/foobar /me $dde(mPlug,format,"np:_%name_[%min:%sec~m/%br~Kbps/%sr~KHz]")

Isn't it too hard to read help? =)

thx a bunch !

thanks man!

Well foo_mirc is definitely the better tool than AIMP .. . I know the guy put in a lot of time and effort but you see it's origin.. winamp - crappy crap...
a tool for a player that needs and does a entry in 'software' ... that foobar is not avaiable as a zip-file (extract and run) already s*ck* ... but a plug-in/component ... everybody else seems to able to do his/hers with just a dll and config file (if even so).. but no.. just DAU-soft[1]

And what's the idea of AIMP to set it so on default that it shows what I play?? There are channels that define that under 'Spamming' and spam ..well everybody with a own website/domain knows enough of it I guess.

So, sorry but AIMP is crap [period].


[1] Dumbest Assumeable User

With 0.7, it would not be "extract and run." It would be extract and shuffle a bunch of files around before running. Do yourself a favor and get over that lame installer phobia.

After some configuration, its now up and running with a manual output format that I like.

Thanks, great app. Nice with CTRL+J playlist in mIRC to.

Btw, is there any possibility for another user to "ask" what song you are playing?

sorry guys....can i have an already-configured plug in from you?

1. Goto http://amip.tools-for.net/ and click download. Then download the latest version for foobar2000 v0.7.

2. Use the built-in installer to install AMIP to the foobar2000 components folder.

3. Restart foobar2000, then goto Preferences->Components->AMIP Wrapper and click "Show AMIP Configuration Dialog".

4. Disable automatic mIRC reporting by disabling IRC Integration (or klick "2" at the presets at the bottom to select an empty preset).

5. Goto mIRC and click Alias Definitions button (the green /a button). Add

or whatever string you want. Click OK.

Now you should be able to put out what song you are playing in mIRC by pressing F12.

I use a command, and different string, so I used

That allows me to type /foobar and get a string that looks like /Dream Theater/Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulenc/1.The Glass Prison.mp3

Well, thanks for the criticism =)
Actually it is a wrong topic to discuss AMIP in...

I forgot:

When you are i mIRC you can press CTRL+J to get the current playlist and change song there.

To get the AMIP config in mIRC you type





Edit: Yeah, got a bit off-topic. Cant help myself

Yes, use mIRC Remote scripts, for example put the follwing code in the Remote:

ON 1:TEXT:!mp3:*:/describe $chan np: $dde mplug var_name ""

When somebody types !mp3 in the channel your song title will be displayed.

CrazyCoder... impressed with the plugin, good job

So no chance of porting foo_mirc in foobar 0.7 then

I tried AMIP , works fine on my desktop but my laptop's mirc 6.12 crashes when DDE requests are made :/

then again, a foobar plugin for klient would be great too

Enable "direct send" checkbox in AMIP to use FileMapping instead of DDE.

AMIP supports Klient, see here: http://klient.com/scripts_view.php?script_id=22

thx for your prompt reply. i tried it and guess what, it works
