iTunes currently playing information - silencelost - 2008-06-03

Is there any way to display the current track/album/genre that is playing in iTunes on XBMC?

Perhaps using applescript/xml?

Thanks

You can easily send a notification to xbmc. look in linux branch /tools/eventclients/examples/ there you have notification examples in both python and c++. with them can you send test and coverart if you want

Thanks for your reply.

Would you be able to give me a quick example? Ive had a look around google but they all seem to be windows based tutorials...

I found some source here which might help me:

But having never used python or C++ before it is quite the learning curve

Thanks
