Mpc Status.html decoding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

Believe it or not I am still using your application:)
MPC has updated and the status.html page has changed, therefor the string 
decoding is wrong.

Could you please give a helping hand as I am not a programmer and i cant figure 
it out?

the current status.html looks like 

OnStatus("04 Strawberry Swing.mp3", "Playing", 21123, "00:00:21", 257780, 
"00:04:17", 0, 100, "D:\Desktop\04 Strawberry Swing.mp3")

were the old was like

OnStatus('Oceans Twelve.avi - Media Player Classic - v1.3.1249.0', 'Playing', 
5148, '00:00:05', 7210079, '02:00:10', 0, 100)

In include/Multimedia/mpc.c, there's a line with:

!IsList($vals = RegExp($status, "^OnStatus\('(.*?) - Media Player 
Classic[^']*', '([^',]*)', (#*), '[^']*', (#*), '[^']*', (#*), (#*)\)$"))

I believe you can just replace that with:

!IsList($vals = RegExp($status, "^OnStatus\(\"(.*?) - Media Player 
Classic[^\"]*\", \"([^\",]*)\", (#*), \"[^\"]*\", (#*), \"[^\"]*\", (#*), (#*), 
\"[^\"]*\"\)$"))

Aren't regular expressions lovely?

I'm not sure.  It's been a while...  You could try replacing the \" with \\\"

"the" == "all the"

Wait...Maybe I used "|" as an escape character?  Try replacing the \" with |", 
and see if that works.

found it :)

(!IsList($vals = RegExp($status, "^OnStatus\(|"([^|",]*)|", |"([^|",]*)|", 
(#*), |"[^|"]*|", (#*), |"[^|"]*|", (#*), (#*), |"[^|"]*|"\)$"))

I've been updating my lcdmiscellany to work and noticed this problem also.
I tried as many escape sequences as I could think of but none worked. (\ \\ \\\ 
| etc).

So instead I just tweaked it so it doesn't have any quotes. Also a lot of my 
things tend to not have official titles so if there is no title, it uses the 
filename instead.

%title = RegExp($xml, "<info name=.title.>(.*?)</info>")[0][0];
if (%title ==s ""){
      %title = RegExp($xml, "<info name=.filename.>(.*?)</info>")[0][0];
}
%artist = RegExp($xml, "<info name=.artist.>(.*?)</info>")[0][0];
%year = RegExp($xml, "<info name=.date.>(.*?)</info>")[0][0];

Also for anyone else, VLC was updated and requires a password for http access. 
Go into Preferences> All> Interface> Main interfaces> Lua HTTP> set a password.
Then in your "LCDMisc.ini" do
vlc = http://:yourpassword@127.0.0.1:8080/requests/
