c# programming for totem

[n3cr0]

okay so this is my first post, sorry if it seems brutal to read :-s

but anyways i got this great idea to write a program to automatically keep track of what my totem player was playing and write the input of my playlist into a txt file recently i been studying c# so i figured that this would be a great start

the problem is i cant seem to find the function to scan totem for the playlist (maybe its a bit out of my league i seem to be a newbie w/ programming) but i figured hey worst comes to worst use the system function and run a terminal command .,. problem is i cant seem to find a terminal command to save the playlist .,. if anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciate

Break the problem down into small pieces. It sounds like you need to know the 'currently playing' item in totem. Can that be saved to a play list? (How does the player know what to play?) If totem doesn't have the option to write/save the currently playing track to a file, you may have to get the source code to totem to understand what's going on and how to modify it and/or exploit it to do what you want to do.

No, this isn't a beginner's programming exercise, but it could be something to work towards as you learn the basics.

after mulling over your response a bit you actually gave me a great idea and made a few other programs in the process thank you kindly for your response :)
