AMIP Community _ Bug Reports _ stop function

Posted by: Ayon Apr 24 2009, 03:54 AM

i've tried just about any approach i can think of now..

/dde mplug stop
/dde mplug control stop
/dde mplug control pause | dde mplug stop
/dde mplug control pause | dde mplug control stop

etc... but it just won't stop the track playing

and also.. in the documentation it sais "control play" that doesn't work for me.. only if i remove control which leaves me with "/dde mplug play"

anything i'm missing here?

Thanks in advance

/dde mplug control stop
/dde mplug control play

should work fine (works for me).

Make sure you are running the latest AMIP version.

What player do you use, BTW?

Try using the socket transport, probably DDE is bugged on your system. See the ac_mirc.zip download of the Beta/SDK page.

I found the root case of the issue, mIRC is converting "stop" to "Stop" and "play" to "Play" for some reason. It doesn't happen for "pause" which is weird.

In AMIP commands are compared using case sensitive functions, therefore stop and play commands are not recognized. It appears to be mIRC bug.

The workaround with socket transport works fine:
/dll ac mexec control play
/dll ac mexec control stop

For the future versions of AMIP I'll add a fix converting DDE commands from mIRC to lower case.

good job spotting this Serge (Y)
and thanks for notifying me about it

there's been a couple of other functions i've had a hard time with also.. but i'll check if it's caused by the CS bug in mIRC first

EDIT:
ignore that last line.. all working perfectly fine here now..
thanks for the help and for a great plugin
