I do that alot.

right now im being bad by trying to either understand sendmsg
or copydata....


im also trying to pull apart receiver.au3 to see if i can figure out how to send ratings.exe the trackpat

exec.exe REQUEST;Receiver;TRACKPATH
works just fine sending the information via WM_COPYDATA

main problem here is im not a programmer and dont understand half of the structure or functions. I know just enough to look at code and get the gist of how it works.

well i found out whats wrong.

global $trackpath sets $trackpath as a blank variable.

then
$track = $rr.GetInfo("TRACKPATH")
gets the trackpath like its supposed to


Now here was the problem

elseif StringInStr($track, $musicdrive) then
$track = $trackpath

was basically setting $track to null.

right now im getting an oddity in the m3u it's placing D: twice in the playlist entry. dunno prob something i screwed up

d:d:\music\the all-american rejects - it ends tonight.mp3

in any case im close.

Trackpath works just fine.

ok fixed the double D: tho probably at the expense of breaking something else

still having other issues.

if i rate anything with a 5 star rating 4 stars.m3u is also create. but blank

if i rate anything with a 4 star rating nothing happens. 4 stars.m3u stays blank.

fun times

well ladies and gentlemen, I have gotten it working.

DISCLAMER : I am not a coder by nature. I'm not responsible if the edits i made blow up your computer, causes it to become sentient and try to overthrow you, steals all your cookies, or anything else. It's working for me. Maybe it will work for you. I modified some things. Stripped some things out and moved variables around.


Sonic. I mostly included the au3 files for you. I commented what I did. That being said I expect you to open them up and go "OMG WTF DID HE DO"

With that. I'm off to bed.

before i go. I also fixed the star indicators.

The problem was on song load Ratecheck.exe would not clear previous star indicators. IE if you played a song with a 5 star rating and then a song with a 3 star rating you would still see all 5 stars lit up.

Also, if you played a song that was not rated at all the previously lit indicators stayed on. This was corrected in ratecheck so all works well now.

now off to bed for real

No go Here Ruffy, I just tried it. When I click Rate, the star choice window pops open, no matter what star I hit, I get a "1 stars.m3u" created in my playlist folder, that is empty.

I deleted the file, clicked 5 stars, and again "1 stars.m3u" was created in the playlist folder, with nothing in it.
