$insong($inmp3,$inwave) more options
I would think most people would like to see this happen, ecspecilly me.
$insong.pause - if the song is paused, then return $true. etc,etc.
-
$inmp3.pause, $inwave.pause, etc.
I figured this would be already made if you're able to pause the mp3, would't you like to know if the mp3 was paused?

If possibable to add this, a way for dial-up user to stop using so much bandwidth on how fast you're downloading.
-Possibable?

Great idea

Good idea, for now you could use something like:



Usage: $songstatus

I don't understand the while statement. Why hang up the parser, is it to give time to mIRC to fill $insong.pos? If so, couldn't you use "while (!$insong.pos) { }" instead?

The while loop is to wait a tiny amount of time before checking if $insong.pos is the same as %pos, if it's the same, the song is paused, otherwise it's playing, without the while loop, it will just return "pause" regardless of whether the song is paused or not.

Edit:

Try both of the following:

alias songstatus {
if !$insong { return stopped }
var %i = 1, %pos = $insong.pos
;while %i <= 100 { inc %i }
return $iif(%pos == $insong.pos,paused,playing)
}

The above returns "paused" when a song is playing.

alias songstatus {
if !$insong { return stopped }
var %i = 1, %pos = $insong.pos
while %i <= 100 { inc %i }
return $iif(%pos == $insong.pos,paused,playing)
}

The above returns "playing" when a song is playing.

Edit: oops. I understand it now.

Your method doesn't always work:

alias songstatus2 {
if !$insong { return stopped }
var %i = 1, %pos = $insong.pos
while !$insong.pos { .echo -q waiting }
return $iif(%pos == $insong.pos,paused,playing)
}

Five times (song playing each time):

paused
playing
paused
paused
playing

Yeah, I overlooked the post. Sorry.
