I've been using mpd (http://www.musicpd.org/) for quite time and I've
created fvwm menus to control it, using fvwm-menu-directory to add files
to
the playlists.
I'd like to know how it would actually possible to create a dynamic menu
showing the content of the current playlist.
The command 'mpc playlist' outputs the playlist like this:
# mpc playlist
#1) Artist - Song 1
#2) Artist - Song 2
#3) Artist - Song 3
#4) Artist - Song 4
It is possible to redirect the output of the 'mpc playlist' command to a
file then use the Read command but i'd like to make it more simple
(using a
PipeRead)
i played a little bit with perl and xmmsctrl:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl
print 'DestroyMenu MenuXmms
AddToMenu MenuXmms
';
@playlist =`xmmsctrl playlist`;
#del first 8
$pos = `xmmsctrl getpos`;
if ($pos < 5) {$pos=6;}
for ($i=$pos-10;$i<=$pos+10;$i++) {
$tmp=substr($playlist[$i-1],4,100);
$tmo=chomp($tmp);
if ($i == $pos) {$tmp=".: $tmp :.";}
print "+ \"$tmp\" exec exec xmmsctrl track $i\n";
}
</code>
i know it's ugly, but hey, it works (kind of)
