Template not processing %1, %2, etc Options

[stoff3]

Hi,

I'm using the latest AMIP (I think) with Foobar 0.9.6.2, with the following Play & change callback:

CODE

/template:(input.txt) out.bat
/exec:(out.bat)

input.txt looks like this:

CODE

mysql --user=XXXXXX --password=XXXX --execute="INSERT INTO songs VALUES ('%1','%2',%sl,1) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE plays = plays+1;" foobar

And when the template is processed, here's what out.bat looks like:

CODE

mysql --user=XXXXXX --password=XXXX --execute="INSERT INTO songs VALUES ('','',1564697344,1) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE plays = plays+1;" foobar

I don't know if it's something obvious I'm missing, but it looks to me like it's not processing the tags correctly. Any ideas?

Are you sure that your song files contain valid tags that AMIP can understand?

Yes. As it is now, I have 16 plays logged in the songs database, all with blank artist/title and that weird song length.

I would really like to get this working, so I can continue developing it and breaking my dependence on Last.fm

EDIT: I can use AMIP with mIRC just fine, so the tags should be fine.

Second edit: Oh man, that's embarassing. You were right, I was wrong. The songs I was playing were from a .cue sheet, which messed up the tags. When I played a normal .mp3 song, everything worked as it should.

Any tips for getting cue songs to work properly? :/

You can't get individual tags from the .cue. AMIP doesn't support it. The maximum you can get is the %s standing for the title returning by your player. If it's configurable in the player, you can put there all the info you need and then parse %s in the script to get individual fields to include into the database.

All right, I can swing that. Thanks a bunch man, have a nice weekend.
