 Post subject: Spotify and AHK
PostPosted: December 8th, 2008, 4:12 pm 
First: I loooove spotify.

Second: It has some flaws. I would like to be able to:

1. Use the built in hotkeys without activating the window.
2. Maybe create a GUI that shows what son is currently playing.

Can stuff like this be done at all?

I'd appreciate any push in a good direction to get me started.

Cheers!

Yes control send will work for this.
Heres the syntax:
Quote:
ControlSend [, Control, Keys, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText]

And heres an example of how you would use it for hotkeys:

Code:
ControlSend, , ^p, Spotify

The first param is blank to send it to the window, then the hotkey to send then window title. The rest isn't that important for this.

trying to expand with a GUI that shows what is playing now.

Code:
F10::
{
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
MsgBox, Now playing: %playing%
}


This retrieves the info I need, but how can I put this into a GUI that auto-updates itself instead of a messagebox?

I recomend using traytip because its easy and can be seen in any window.

Heres an example of how to make a timed traytip:

AHK Help File wrote:
TrayTip, Timed TrayTip, This will be displayed for 5 seconds.
SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, 5000
return

RemoveTrayTip:
SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, Off
TrayTip
return

I'll have a look into the TrayTip. Never heard of it before.

This is my latest effort:

Code:
SetTitleMatchMode 2

F12::ControlSend, , ^{Right}, Spotify
F11::ControlSend, , ^{Left}, Spotify

F10::
{
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
Gui,+AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Add, Text,, %playing%
Gui, Show
}


It gets the title, but I cant get it to change when I play new songs, and the first two hotkeys wont work as long as the gui is up.

Code:
SetTimer, RefreshTrayTip, 1000
Gosub, RefreshTrayTip  ; Call it once to get it started right away.
return

RefreshTrayTip:
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
TrayTip, Now playing:, %playing%., , 16
return


No matter what I do with the TrayTip function it only shows for a few milliseconds before it is closed.

#p::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{Left}, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return


; "WinKey + n"  for next
#n::
{
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{Right}, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return
}

; "WinKey + q"  for pause
#q::
{
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {Space}, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return
}

; "WinKey + 3"  for info
#3::
{
DetectHiddenWindows, On
SetTitleMatchMode 2
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
Gui,+AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Add, Text,, %playing%

return
}

Are you sure it updates the GUI if you switch songs?

Strange window update.
I used your example instead and added a test for song change ...

Code:
SetTimer, RefreshTrayTip, 1000
playingSave := ""
Gosub, RefreshTrayTip  ; Call it once to get it started right away.
return

RefreshTrayTip:
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
if(playing != playingSave) {
  TrayTip, Now playing:, %playing%., , 16
}
playingSave := playing
return

this keeps the traytip up at all times:

Code:
SetTitleMatchMode 2

#Persistent
SetTimer, RefreshTrayTip, 1000
Gosub, RefreshTrayTip  ; Call it once to get it started right away.
return

F12::ControlSend, , ^{Right}, Spotify
F11::ControlSend, , ^{Left}, Spotify



RefreshTrayTip:
WinGetTitle, now_playing, ahk_class SpotifyMainWindow
StringTrimLeft, playing, now_playing, 10
TrayTip, Now playing:, %playing%., 29 , 16
return

Thanks for the script! But is there anyway to use OSD instead of traytip for the song information?
