KMPlayer

[Talea]

Just out of curiousity's sake - has anyone found an announce in channel script for KMPlayer? If so can they give the url or paste the script here. Thanks

I've been using this for a while to good effect. It uses procfs to read the file descriptors opened by mplayer to obtain the currently opened file. I assume it would also work for kmplayer if you edited line 45 to compare against "kmplayer" instead.

Thanks for the script - gave it a try with the modifications you suggested - it did open up kmplayer but does not display what is playing and it froze my xchat - so I have to try something else if it's available.

From what I understand, the script shouldn't normally open anything. Or hang X-Chat, for that matter, though I could imagine that spawning an application that doesn't terminate immediately could as well hang X-Chat. In that case, the command that tries to determine Mplayer's version is probably at fault. For now, I've stripped the script previously linked down to the essentials, which should probably be unproblematic.

That being said, I'm not completely sure whether kmplayer actually has its own version of mplayer built-in or simply spawns mplayer and attaches its GUI there. Thus, I've added checks for open files both for 'mplayer' and 'kmplayer'. If you find it working for you, that's fine, but if not, I'll probably have to install kmplayer to find out for certain.

Thanks for your help, it works like a charm - only thing I have to remember is to use the default command to use the script.

Can this work with Windows 7, what should I replace /proc with ?

[2Points]

Nope, completely impossible. From what I understand, the Win32 API does not offer (documented) file handle enumeration for arbitrary processes, so one would have to think about other means to determine the currently opened file.

The script you gave didn't work for me tooo

You realize that “it doesn't work™” isn't much to go by for trying to fix problems, right?

[Talea]

To Matt1672: The updated script worked perfectly for me. Are you using a linux version of xchat? I assume you are. Make sure you download the updated version. Your KMplayer should already be open and the command for use is /mplayer

finally the script works for me..
I didn't know if it can't work with Windows 7
Thanks Guys..

This script only displays what you are playing not the player itself. So if you're playing a DivX .avi it will indicate the filename of the video/movie.
