Post subject:  Detecting Player State
Hi everyone,
How can I detect player state whether it is playing or the user has paused or whether it is stopped?

I'm currently using the isPlaying variable but that doesn't distinguish between paused or stopped?
Is there something like isStopped.

If not then plz tell, i'll go to activex controls.

Regards,
Digigamer

maybe you can use the %playtime to judge the player is paused or stopped.
when the isPlaying variable is false, if playtime == 0, we can treat it as isStopped.

Thanks a lot.
But i'm afraid, it's not that effective. Since I intended to depend on this to show an animation but everytime a track changed, it also triggered the condition.

But anyways, thanks a lot. It helped me to detect another state. If media player is running.
Code:
if (!%ISPlaying) && (%title == ' ')
{
// then we can assume media not is loaded and player is not running.
}

So, now showing on off state instead of running or not running! :D

you can use the %IsPlaying tag to control the image components' src
The two buttons of the picture's file name are true.png and false.png
format core data: %IsPlaying.png

Thanks, but that's not what I was trying to achieve. I've already implemented that. I wanted to know wheter the track was paused or stopped. And that cannot be done without WMP ActiveX.
