Scripting: Entry for "Encoded with" ?

[laserflor]

Hello to all,
I readed the article: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/developer-scripting.htm So I know, that I am able to "remote control" the dbPowerAMP Audio Player :smile2: i.e. with Delphi.
I know, that the dbPowerAMP Musik Converter installs an explorer extension. After that, a tooltip is shown, when I mark a mp3-file.
This tooltip shows among other things an entry called "Encoded with".
Can I get this information within a dbPoweramp.Multiplayer object?
Nice Greetings

Not possible, sorry.

Hello Spoon,
thank you for your quick answer.
It's a pity, that I can't get this information.
But.. Do you know, how the explorer extension gets this information from within the mp3-file, that I can fit this feature in my program?
Nice greetings

It is held within the decoding dll, the result is not passed out independantly, in theory it is possible with 'getpopupinfo.exe', what is your program?

I am programming an application in Delphi, to catalogue my mp3-files. I know, there are many apps for that, but I wanted "mine". To play the mp3s, I use mpegdll.dll (http://www.delphimania.de/cgi-bin/countdown/countdown.cgi?mpegdll.zip) by Eugene Mayevski. I'm afraid, that the code doesn't work with mp3s from any encoders and causes general protection faults :( or invalid timecodes :( or doesn't play it :( . That's the reason, because I want to know, wich encoder did it. If it is not in the list, that works with mpegdll.dll, I would "convert" it with the dbPowerAMP converter.

Here is how I call get popup:

//------get a temp file-----
STempFile TempFile("dBP");
SFile File(TempFile.c(), GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, CREATE_ALWAYS);
if (File.IsOpen())
{
char writeFileName[MAX_PATH];
strcpy(writeFileName, Filename);
File.WriteXBytesToFile(writeFileName, MAX_PATH);
//------run popup get info-----
char ToRun[MAX_PATH * 2];
char PathMulti[MAX_PATH];
GetApplicationPath(PathMulti);
wsprintf(ToRun, "\"%sGetPopupInfo.exe\" <tempF>%s", PathMulti, TempFile.c());
if (RunApplicationSpecial (ToRun, true))
{
File.SetFilePos(0);
Found = true;
int Need = (int)File.GetThisFileSize();
if (Need)
{
char *pText = new char[Need];
if (File.ReadXBytesFromFile(pText, Need))
wSetString.SetStringUni8(pText);
delete []pText;
}
} else {
Found = true;
wSetString.SetString("Error GetPopupInfo.exe Not Found");
}
}


Then pull out the encoded by string.
