Loop stops functioning

[Shawn Dion]

Hello fellow coders
I really hate asking for help but I'll be honest I'm stumped with this problem that should be straight forward

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
^j::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Sleep 1000
ControlSend,, {F12}, OBS 
run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "e:\Music\Song1.mp3"
Sleep 2000
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop {
  IfWinExist,Winamp [Stopped]
  { ControlSend,, {F11}, OBS 
    continue
  }
  Sleep, 1000
}
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Sleep 1000
ControlSend,, {F12}, OBS 
run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "e:\Music\Song2.mp3"
Sleep 2000
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop {
  IfWinExist,Winamp [Stopped]
  { ControlSend,, {F11}, OBS 
    continue
  }
  Sleep, 1000
}
Return

What my code is supposed to do is after pressing Ctrl-J is send F12 (Record mode for Open Broadcast Video Recorder) then load Winamp with the first song wait until the winamp screen title says Winamp [Stopped] send the F11 key to stop the recording on OBS then load the next song in the list and repeating the same code over and over for several files unfortunately the code stops after pressing the F11 key at this point I'm totally clueless in why the code won't restart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S: I'm running this on 64 bit Windows 10.

Hi.
I think your script isn't able to leave your loop. It detects the WinAmp-window, sends keystroke to OBS and continues detecting same WinAmp-window again and again.
In your case, you have to even close the WinAmp-window after detecting it. Instead of continue, you have to break your loop.

Using Loop, Files, ... would be a better choice for your script idea.

If the WinAmp-window is not an additionally window, as I think, than the first part of my answer is incorrect.

Thanks for the information.

I had not noticed a quick way to loop files I'll definitely go with that method instead as with my other method I would of had over 1.4k lines of repeat code.

Found what I needed with the example related to the command.
