Feature request: trigger external scripts #77

Open cheater opened 4 years ago

cheater commented 4 years ago

Add a way of triggering external scripts, so people can do some form of automation. Maybe just let the user specify the path to an exe file and arguments, and run that with an additional argument that mentions the path to the currently playing file.

Or maybe do it the same way those mIRC "now playing" scripts used to do that together with Winamp. It was some sort of open standard. It used DDE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Data_Exchange

but that's probably a bit more involved. I suggest doing the first one first.
