Firstly I acknowledge that this may not be the best place to ask this
question but I'll give anything a shot once.
Does anybody know where the temporary file (buffer) is kept by WMP 9 -
[OS X 10.3.7].
The reason I am seeking it is because I have a number of scripts set up
which record radio shows which are only available on WMP. These work
just as they should. The problem comes when there is a dropout of the
stream for any reason. If it drops out too long then WMP cuts it off
and stops. I could resort to reconnecting periodically but I wanted
something more elegant. My idea is to find the buffer file and use AS
to check the date modified of the file in order to determine if the
connection has dropped out and then re-establish it.
To date I have searched for invisible files across the whole system.
I've looked inside WMP.app
I've looked inside /tmp - oddly there is a directory at
/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/Windows Media Player Temp/
but it is empty and the modified date only reflects the time when the
initial connection was made. The access time is the same.
Okay, having written that I'm guessing it's in RAM somewhere. Don't
know what the temp directory is for in that case though.
I fully expect this request to go unanswered but if you do have any
ideas then please let me know.
Lee
