Here you go, Armoured.

Website | Installer | Portable
v1.0.5 build 78 - 2011-02-25
    + Added hidden Write_File_INI and Write_File_XML settings.  Enabling either
      or both will cause Trout to write a track_info.ini and/or a track_info.xml
      file to Trout's folder with the tag data of the currently playing track.
      You can then read/parse this data for use in your own scripts.  (Thanks,
      Armoured)
      To enable these, add the following lines to the [Settings] section of
      Trout's config.ini file:
          Write_File_INI=1
          Write_File_XML=1

And what is your opinion  about to implement a method based on the shared memory?

-Armoured (February 20, 2011, 08:05 AM)

Trout has a disabled feature that writes out the currently playing info to an XML file.  I can change it to a different format as well (such as INI).  Would this be good enough for your purposes?

-skwire (February 20, 2011, 08:33 AM)

Yes this is useful!
Can You add two settings in the preferences?

1) For enable or disable the writing of the file.
2) For change the output format to xml or ini.

Thanks

hi,
I think you haven't read my second question for you:
"And what is your opinion  about to implement a method based on the shared memory?"

Ok this is useful if I want send a command to the player but if I want to get the title and the infos of a currently played song?

-Armoured (February 18, 2011, 05:45 PM)

To do it programatically, find the window with a classname of "Winamp v1.x" (without quotes) and read its title text.  You can format in most of the track info into the title bar using the provided tokens.  There's no way to query Trout directly for this info and I have no plans to add any sort of DDE support at this time.

A program through the DDE protocol can send command and get information to/from the music player.

-Armoured (February 18, 2011, 05:18 PM)

Trout has a portion of the Winamp API built into it for this purpose.  Within mIRC, you should be able to use any of the Winamp
plugin stuff with Trout going and it should work.  The following messages are supported:

40001 - Close
40022 - Toggle repeat
40023 - Toggle shuffle
40029 - Add files box
40044 - Previous track
40045 - Play/Pause
40048 - Next track
40058 - Volumn up
40059 - Volume down
40144 - Seek backward
40148 - Seek forward
40155 - Add URL
40187 - Add folder box

You can use standard Windows SendMessage commands to control Trout in this way.  If there is a certain message within the Winamp API that you would like to see supported, let me know and I'll see if I can add it.  Furthermore, Trout is built with a classname of "Winamp v1.x" so any title-getting application/plugin will work to get the song info.  You can set up a custom titlebar format string in Trout's options.

Yes, I know what it is.  What do you want to do with it and Trout?

-skwire (February 18, 2011, 04:40 PM)

A program through the DDE protocol can send command and get information to/from the music player.
Is an useful feature, mIRC or another chat program with DDE could send commands and get informations about the played song from your player.

Can you add the DDE support to your player?

-Armoured (February 17, 2011, 12:19 PM)

I'm not sure I understand your request.  Can you provide me with more detail, please?
