double elapsedSongSeconds = 0;
play_control::command(play_control::PLAYBACK_GETPOS, (int)&elapsedSongSeconds);

That gives you the elapsed time, in seconds.  Then you can convert that to hours, minutes, seconds:

const unsigned int ehours = (unsigned int)(elapsedSongSeconds / 3600);
const unsigned int emins  = (unsigned int)(elapsedSongSeconds / 60) % 60;
const unsigned int esecs  = elapsedSongSeconds % 60;

and convert it to a string using snprintf().

metadb_handle* GetCurrentSongHandle()
{
    metadb_handle *handle = play_control::get()->get_now_playing();    
    if(!handle)
  handle = playlist_oper::get()->get_item(playlist_oper::get()->get_focus());
    return(handle);
}

void GetCurrentSongTitle(CString &string, LPCTSTR format)
{
    string.Empty();
    
    metadb_handle *handle = GetCurrentSongHandle();
    if(!handle || !format)
  return;

    const playlist_entry *entry = handle->handle_get_location();
    if(entry)
    {
  string_interface_i str;

  metadb::get()->format_title(entry, &str, string_utf8_from_os(format), NULL, NULL);

  if(str.get_ptr())
      string = string_os_from_utf8(str.get_ptr());
    }

    handle->handle_release();
}

Good luck with your HTTP interface!  I ported my Winamp2 HTTP server/interface over to Foobar a while ago, but due to commercial interest, I haven't released it as a publically available Foobar component.

In other words, RTFM, C_G?  Not very helpful, especially in the Development forum...

Hey, weren't you the guy who was complaining about the more restrictive licence of fb2k 0.7?     

double time = play_control::get()->get_playback_time();
int seconds  = ((int)time) % 60;
time /= 60;
int minutes = ((int)time) % 60;
time /= 60;
int hours = (int)time);

string8 meh; // use string_printf if you prefer
meh.add_int(hours);
meh.add_char(':');
meh.add_int(minutes);
meh.add_char(':');
meh.add_int(seconds);

metadb_handle * handle = play_control::get()->get_now_playing();
if (handle)
{
    const char * path = handle->handle_get_path(); // file://c:\meh.mp3
    string8 path2(path + 7); // c:\meh.mp3
}

int num = playlist_oper::get()->get_count();

string_interface_i title; // found in interface_helper.h
int num = playlist_oper::get()->get_count();
for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
    format_title(i,&title,NULL,NULL);
    // do whatever here
}

I did not post 'meh' or RTFM in response to Bizzy's request.  The 'meh' was directed at you.  I still think that pointing Bizzy toward the appropriate headers should have been enough

In addition, I don't really think your answers were appropriate.  They are centered around 0.6.  I would assume that anyone developing a new plugin would be developing for 0.7 (but perhaps I'm not correct in this assumption).

And giving away foo_utfs and foo_bookmark?  You haven't released the code, which means that you haven't released anything for other developers to actually use.  I've got nothing against you, and I certainly don't think that you are obliged to release any code.  But you seem to be a bit condescending.

also, is there a way of getting the current version of foobar?

string8 version;
metadb::g_format_title(&make_playable_location("c:\meh.mp3"),version,"%_foobar2000_version%");

ok, just thought i would throw in a little beta....

it just has basic controls (prev, play, stop, pause (doesnt work for some reason), next)
theres a refresh (just to get updates)
it shows the current file being played
it shows the current time, and actual formated track name (just ripped from the window title)

im gonna do the playlist as soon as i get chance

also, im gonna try and make it as configurable as possible,

Download (check out the ini file  btw, it goes in the components dir with the dll)

in a web browser of ur choice visit

to change the dafault, edit the ini...

on a side note, would you want each playlist item to be a hyperlink to play the file? or would u just want the playlist to be a list of test showing all the tracks?

to use it u install it (duh) then in a web browser of ur choice visit http://ip-of-foobar-machine:[port (defualt = 8080)]

example = http://127.0.0.1:8080

to change the dafault, edit the ini...

im adding a CSS to it later, soon as i got the playlist bit working
