Heads up IRC
Not sure if we need every one on IRC telling us what mp3 they are playing, but I guess its cool for Shoutcast stations.c-

- Yuri de Castro Santana

Nice to see, but one correction

Nov. 17th, 2003

It's great to see people like what I wrote, but I'm sorry to see one little typo from me has turned into that much work :)To get mIRC to understand more than 1 parametre, simply add a "-" after the $$1 like this: $$1-. You can limit it to accept 3 parametres by using $1-3.Hope this helps :>

Kick Arse!

This plugin is one of the best on winamp.com! If you spend any time on mIRC, get this plugin. Just don't announce every song automatically, that's annoying. Make an alias that sets a var, then make another alias that announces a var. this way, all you have to do is type /m and it will state the song. This is also more convenient if you press NEXT a lot, since WE DONT WANT TO SEE EVERY SONG YOU SKIP THRU! www.mrwadlo.com

Really needs documentation

Oct. 23rd, 2003

I got the plug-in to work after taking a clue from Jakob Kobberholm, below. Unfortunately, nothing I've seen here was complete enough to get it working without a bit of reading, a lot of fiddling and too much friction in the channel.-----------------------------------------------------In the plug-in, I checked the box titled "mIRC support enabled" and entered:/z %sin the "Text to send field." The /z can be any unused mIRC alias.In mIRC's Scripts Editor, I added the following lines to the Aliases file:/z /set %WinAmp.Currentsong $$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 $13 $14 $15 $16 $17 $18 $19 $20 $21 $22 *and* /p /me is listening to %WinAmp.CurrentsongThe /z matches the alias I chose in the plug-in. /z is called by the plug-in and passed %s which mIRC seems to parse into multiple pieces. Hence we use up to 22 variables to receive the pieces and assign them to %WinAmp.Currentsong.The /p is my trigger for announcing what mp3 is playing at any time. Again, it can be any mIRC alias not already used for another purpose.Almost immediately when WinAmp starts playing an MP3, the song name is passed to mIRC and you can then trigger the alias to report the title to the current mIRC window. Doing it this way puts you in control of notifying the channel, rather than having the plug-in always send an announcement at the start of each track.I am using WinAmp v.2.91 and mIRC v.6.12.Jeff Newman

Actually It Does Work In 6.X

Aug. 24th, 2003

I have the mirc control plug-in working fine under mirc 6.x never had one problem one thing i did tho was use sysreset's winamp scanner and the control plugin so winamp would trigger the /mp3 alias and print the song info to the current window! =)(mby try /ddeserver on mIRC and make sure u have mirc support enabled under the mirc control plugin)

Suggestion

Apr. 24th, 2003

In the next version, if you do one, can you let it respond ti $isdde to see if winamp is running?
- Phil Doyle

Awsome Plugin

Apr. 19th, 2003

This plugin is by far the best for mIRC, i've also had that problem with the /me command i've found that /describe #channel works.
- tRiP OuT

great plugin if you know your mIRC

Apr. 9th, 2003

plain and simple, just how i like it - less chance for things to fuckup. this plugin is great and leave lots of room for customisation if you know how to do some simple scripts in mIRC.
- Martin Bannister

just what the doctor ordered

Nov. 24th, 2002

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. with a little tweaking, I managed to make it work just the way I wanted (that is to say, on command only). here's how: in the message window of the plugin, type in: /write -c c:\mirc\music.txt (or whatever the path to your irc program is, and any filename you want). next, in your irc aliases, add teh following line: /mp3 /me listens to " $read music.txt ". now, when you type "/mp3", IRC will reach out, read that lil text file, and spit it out into your main window. neat, eh?love the plugin, it's everything you need, nothing you don't... although some more setup documentation might be nice.

Mostly Excellent

Jul. 3rd, 2002

I used it for a very very long time. then I upgraded to mIRC 6.02 and YES i enabled DDE server and the only way i can get gen_mIRC to send is to use "/describe #channel" or "/ame". For some reason, I just cannot get it to send to my active channel like in previous versions of mIRC. But still, an excellent plugin
- Sergeant Rauksauff

Does exactly what it says in the title

Jun. 19th, 2002

Before I found this little gem, I'd been having to use mirc scripts like gotilla.... and even a few home-grown ones to handle dumping song titles to irc. Im glad that the info can go the other way round, so now I can use crossfading more effectively.Now... anyone who cant get it working... open up mirc and use alt+o to bring up options. Select General -> Servers. You want to enable the DDE server so that winamp can "talk" to mirc.Overall... By far the best solution for this type of thing, maybe a candidate for bundling with future full install?

Problems?

Jun. 10th, 2002

Whoever asked: Change the output to /describe #channel is playing...etc

Jun. 7th, 2002

security bug

May. 15th, 2002

This plugin allows anyone who can trick you into playing an mp3 to take full control over your computer. You can put commands in the ID3v tag after a "|" . example: "t | run notepad"for details see http://wouter.coekaerts.be/vur

Nothing really useful :|

May. 13th, 2002

crashes after some hours...BAD!
- Land Rover

Very Good.

Apr. 25th, 2002

Out of this one and another in here, this one actually worked without trying. Its very good. Except could be inproved like adding ability to add color/bold, and add the size of the file with the length.
- Jason Cave

it works on 6.0x

Apr. 21st, 2002

When I first tried on 6.0, I saw /me: can't use /me in this window like most of the people, then I wrote /ame at the set up string and it worked..

How I set it up with mIRC 6.01

Apr. 21st, 2002

Firstly: thanks to the guys who took some time to write here how they made it work. I had to modify their scripts a little to make it work for me. This might help somebody:/mp3 { set %new $read(c:\now.txt) | if (%old != %new) { me is playing:4 %new | set %old %new } }/now1 /timer1 0 1 /mp3/now0 /timer1 off
- Mikkel Hansen

Killer!

Apr. 20th, 2002

who ever said this doesn't work with mirc 6.0x must smoke some cheap drugs! i have it working in 6.01 ur prolly just to stoopid and didn't enable the dde server and made sure it's correct with the one specified in the plugin! /ddeserver on mIRC try typin in that wanker!
- trip out

Wonderful!

Apr. 10th, 2002
