How to get info from an Ogg file?

[Forboding Angel]

Specifically I want to get title and artist. I have found some random sparse info on where others have tried to do it, but doesn't work. I know that smoth at one point had a music widget that did it.

Info also doesn't seem to be in the wiki.

Code: Select all

	-- for key, val in pairs(oggInfo) do
		-- Spring.Echo(key, val)
	-- end


	-- if (oggInfo.comments.TITLE and oggInfo.comments.TITLE) then
		-- Spring.Echo("Song changed to: " .. oggInfo.comments.TITLE .. " By: " .. oggInfo.comments.ARTIST)
	-- else
		-- Spring.Echo("Song changed but unable to get the artist and title info")
	-- end

Here is the code block I found where someone was trying to do it.

I don't think a way exists at the moment

Use filenames in "Artist - Title" form instead.

Forb, that code still works on my end

edit

yep, still works, maybe it is an issue with your ogg info somehow being malformed, care to email them to me or a link to them?

Can you paste your widget so I can see how it's being done?
