Now Playing for Grooveshark Desktop

By aimeels on Jul 10, 2010

This NP script will read the currentSong.txt file that Grooveshark Desktop generates, and output to an IRC channel.

USAGE:
.np (Returns the active playing song from Grooveshark)
.np(off/on) (Sets a timer to automatically scan for changes to the song and messages the channel if the song changes)

HOW TO:

To use this script, simply load it. (/load -rs X:\Path\to\script.mrc)
Change the path to currentSong.txt within the script.
That file can be found in one of two locations, depending on OS:
XP: X:\Documents and Settings(Your User\My Documents\Grooveshark\
Vista/7: X:\Users(Your User)\Documents\Grooveshark\

To modify the output, modify this line of code in your file:
msg $chan [Grooveshark] %np.artist with %np.song from %np.album

Where %np.artist is the artist, %np.song is the song name and %np.album is the album name.

DEPENDENCIES:

You MUST have an active Grooveshark Anywhere account.
Adobe AIR is required to use Grooveshark Desktop.

If you need support, please see Ae6 or Konata @ ##mirc on freenode.

PS: I would like it if we could also type !song and it would show Artist-Song that is playing whether we have a live dj or if it is auto dj.

Is there a way you could write this so that it would show what song SAM Broadcaster is playing? I've asked for help with a script I can put in my bot to show what songs either myself or my dj's are playing in the rooms the bot is in but so far have had no luck getting help.

Thank you.

use $scriptdir

u can use tokenize 9 $read(%x,1)

the elseif is useless u can use only else halt or remove it

so i think your code can be like this

on *:TEXT:*:#:{
  if ($strip($1) == .np) .nowplaying
  elseif $istok(.npon|.npoff,$strip($1),124) {
    .timernowplaying1 $iif($strip($1) == .npon,0 10 .nowplaying,off)
    if ($strip($1) == .npon) .nowplaying
  }
}
alias nowplaying {
  tokenize 9 $read($qt($scriptdircurrentSong.txt),1)
  if $1 $3 != %np.song %np.artist {
    set %np.artist $3
    set %np.song $1
    set %np.album $2
    msg # [Grooveshark] %np.artist with %np.song from %np.album
  }
}

You must be an oldie. The $token identifier has been superseded by $gettok(), but they're the same.
