Media Player Classic Plugin for LCD Smartie

use it to display the "now playing" info from media player classic
this is my first plugin (downloaded lcd smartie just 2 days ago), so bugs may exists...
usage:
$dll(mpcplugin,1,param1,1)
where param1 can be one of the following:
isactive - return 1 if mpc is playing or paused, 0 if stopped or closed (for changing the lcd smartie screen)
title - gets the file title (usually the file name)
author - gets the file author (is exists on tag)
desc - gets the file description
position - gets the current position (for example: 0:01:23 / 1:30:00)
status - returns "playing","paused", or "stopped"

example:
create a disabled sticky screen with the following info:
$dll(mpcplugin,1,title,1) $dll(mpcplugin,1,author,1)
$dll(mpcplugin,1,position,1)
$dll(mpcplugin,1,status,1)

in the action tab, create 2 rules:
$dll(mpcplugin,1,isactive,1) = 1 GotoScreen(yourScreenNumber)
$dll(mpcplugin,1,isactive,1) = 0 NextScreen

I copied mpcplugin to the plugins directory and filled command line as it is in example. When I switch to MPC screen I have the following text on the display: DLL(Can not open plugin) and LCDSmartie creates an error message. I can not remember the exact text, but it is like: some ???Loader has a problem in command line 126???
I had thi problem with some other plugins. I have v5.4.1 and Mplay Blast display.

Thank you for this plugin! Just what I needed. It works quite well for me, using MPC 6.4.9.0.

This is a great plug-in, just got it set up last night, I'd love to have a chance to get a look at the code as I'm sure i could add a few useful features. Thanks again
