Hi,
I’m trying to understand how to attach a (new) file
to a playlist item.
In this example I sucessfully locate the playlist enty “HELLO WORD” in the CurrentPlaylist
and can change all kinds of things - but not assign a new file name to it?
Assuming I have the file “c:\mairlist\helloworld.mp3”, how can I assign this to the
found entry and then update the time information from the element?
I tried this approach, because I couldn’t find any way to assign a file to an existing playlist item.
The code runs and finds the entry, but doesn’t change it.
Any help?
[code]// MAirlist 4.3
var
i,j: integer;
st : string;
needle : string;
pi: IPlaylistItem;
pi_new: IPlaylistItem;
t1 : TDateTime;
t2 : TDateTime;
begin
SystemLog(‘Preparing hello world’);
pi_new:= Factory.CreateFilePlaylistItem(‘c:\mairlist\helloworld.mp3’,[]);
SystemLog(‘Looking for hello world’);
for i := 0 to CurrentPlaylist.GetCount - 1 do begin
pi := CurrentPlaylist.GetItem(i);
st := pi.GetTitle;
needle := 'HELLO WORLD';
j := pos(needle,st)
If j >0 then begin
j := j + length(needle)
// Do something with pi.
// Exchange new element
pi := pi_new;
SystemLog('Found '+sr);
end;
end;
end;
end.
[/code]
UPDATE: I asked a similar question here https://www.mairlist.com/forum/index.php/topic,5673.0.html two years ago, after reading it again I’ll attempt to get that to work here,too. Basically the tip was to use “IPlaybackControl” instead of “IPlaylistItem” - so now I have to research how the exact syntax is to convert between the two. If I get it to work, I’ll post an update or the take question down.
