AMIP Community _ Support _ Vertical line in song name

Posted by: Oliver Jun 21 2006, 02:23 AM

I like to listen to Shoutcast stations and (sometimes) output song names to mIRC. However, some Shoutcast stations output a "|" in the stream name. When mIRC sees a "|" symbol it takes everything after the "|" to be a command and the script breaks.

Is there some way of fixing this from the AMIP options?

Yes, see http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/manual/configurator#advanced in AMIP Configurator:

QUOTE

Replace " | " with " $chr(124) " when sending to mIRC
mIRC uses | character for commands separation, so, it�s possible to insert a command in the song tag that will do something bad with your mIRC. For security reasons AMIP can replace it with the $chr mIRC function that mIRC will evaluate to | but will not use it as commands splitter.

Ah, thanks Serge, I hadn't got round to installing AMIP Configurator yet.
