Does anyone know of a music player program (mp3) that can respond to commands remotely?
I've tried Windows Media Player which doesn't let me pause or rewind via OLE (though I can start the song at least)
I've also tried VLC but haven't been successful.
I'm trying to find a way to have a program start up and pause until I'm ready to go. This approach would hopefully avoid the seemingly random music program startup times that cause desyncronization from the start.
Wondering what other people use in my situation.
Here's my ruby code using windows media player. Here's some documentation:
require 'win32ole'
player = WIN32OLE.new('WMPlayer.OCX')
player.OpenPlayer(song.mp3')
player.controls.pause # This line doesn't do anything for some reason
