Whenever I type !play start a google chrome window opens up and plays the youtube video. The first time it opens it opens the window and minimizes it (Awesome). However the second time around it opens up a new tab and shows the window, thus taking me out of the software I've got running. Is there any way to fix this? Or is there anyway to close an open browser window? Code: alias -l playYT { var %file songrequest.ini if (!$ini(%file,0)) return ; ----------------------------------------- var %song $ini(%file,1) run -n www.youtube.com/watch?v= $+ %song var %timer $calc($ini(%file,%song,1) + 5) remini %file %song .timerplayYTcont 1 %timer playYT }

It might be on purpose but I think /run -n on an url should run a new instance of the browser instead of using the current window if any. It might be a good idea to use the current window but indeed in this case, it should then be able to open a new tab without activating the browser's window. You might want to ask for this behavior in either a bug report or a feature suggestion. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
