Write playback history to file

I'm lookin for a plugin that can write the playback history to a file.

A couple of years ago I had it already working, but after my HDD crashed I had to customize foobar from scratch.
Unfortunately I can't remember which plugin I have used and if it's still working with the latest foobar.

Here are three components I found, but they don't seem to do what I want:
foo_playcount
foo_playback_custom
foo_playlisthistory

Does something I need even exist?

$date(time)
Retrieves the date part (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD) from a time/date string.
$time(time)
Retrieves the time part (formatted as HH:MM:SS or HH:MM) from a date/time string
Join both :)
Code: [Select]
$date(%datetime%) $time(%datetime%)

Unfortunately that's not working, I just get a "?"

See Screenshot on OneDrive

Any other ideas?
Well, I could write a script that takes the datetime string and converts it to what I need, but maybe there's a simpler solution.

Was expecting %datetime% followed TF format like the dates retrieved by other plugins (*).  obviously without that format it doesn't work. Use substring and extract what you need manually, there is no other way. You will need multiple calls to extract every part.

 (*) YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

EDIT:
You need to create a a substitution for all 12 months. Like the first line. Have no idea what format the plugin uses, if it's always 3 chars, etc. so adjust as needed.
Code: [Select]
$if($stricmp($substr(%datetime%,5,7),Oct),$puts(month,10),)
$right(%datetime%,4)-$get(month)-$left($right(%datetime%,16),2) $left($right(%datetime%,13),8)

I've got it:
Code: [Select]
$puts(txt,%datetime%)
$puts(weekday,$left($get(txt),3))
$puts(month,$right($left($get(txt),7),3))
$puts(day,$right($left($get(txt),10),2))
$puts(time,$left($right($get(txt),13),8))
$puts(year,$right($get(txt),4))

$get(day).
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),jan),1,01,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),feb),1,02,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),mar),1,03,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),apr),1,04,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),may),1,05,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),jun),1,06,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),jul),1,07,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),aug),1,08,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),sep),1,09,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),oct),1,10,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),nov),1,11,)
$ifequal($stricmp($get(month),dec),1,12,)
.$get(year)
 $get(time)
$tab()
%artist% - %title%$crlf()

Finally ,this is exactly what I need:



P.S.: Working with variables makes life much easier 😉
