how do i access configuration?

When you are talking to someone, click the Messenger Plus icon above the text entry, there will be a sub menu for the plugin and everything is in there.

very nice script, thanks a lot :D


RE: [release] Music now playing by Skarn on 06-25-2006 at 12:51 AM

Before I had to reformat a few weeks ago, I had it to where the "Show What's Playing" would show my Winamp song, however, now it doens't, and I don't remember the Plug-in. Is it possible to make this one do that?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Jellings on 06-25-2006 at 12:56 AM

try the mess patch for winamp support (i think that should solve it - just run the mess patch, if there isn't an option to add winamp support it might do it automatically)

hmm, it pauses iTunes ok, but  when i try "/play" it says that the command entered was not recognised...


RE: [release] Music now playing by Skarn on 06-25-2006 at 12:57 AM

That's where I got from, Thanks ^^


RE: [release] Music now playing by Hank on 06-25-2006 at 12:59 AM

download and install http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=42941 that to your foobar components directory

and it will add the winamp api to foobar \o/ and then my script should work

edit:
/play /stop /pause /next /prev dont seem to work though
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mr. Bougo on 06-25-2006 at 08:34 AM

RE: [release] Music now playing by moonlightshadow on 06-25-2006 at 08:43 AM

is there any possibility to show the songs you are listening in winam 3? i hate winamp 5!


RE: [release] Music now playing by morbo on 06-25-2006 at 09:12 AM

love this script. exactly what i've been looking for. thankyou! :D

Very nice (Y)!


RE: [release] Music now playing by Filb on 06-25-2006 at 11:20 AM

Doesn't work well with the foobar2000 and the winamp-spam-plugin.
Unicode tags can't be shown.

Music File's Tags:
[Image: foobartag38c.png]

/np gives me:
[Image: np751.png]


I know this is a problem of foobar2000's plugin. However, is it possible to add direct foobar2000 support with Unicode?


RE: [release] Music now playing by sMiNt on 06-25-2006 at 11:26 AM

i don't know if it is my fault, but i can't mange it that only the filename (without the .mp3) is returned as song information. i have all my winamp songs in this format: "artist - album - number - title" (or "album - number - artist - title" at samplers), without id3v* tag. and i want to return the complete filename as it is showed in winamp, not just "artist - title".

is this possible right now? if not could you fix it please?
at the old messenger version it was possible to type just (!WAT) then the information i wanted was returned.

Hey -dt-,
thank you VERY much for adding the {filename} feature as you have written it in the other thread. But is it possible that the new version of the script isn't online yet? I downloaded it again and it still doesn't work :/

Clear your cache and try again , Its updated
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mike on 06-25-2006 at 01:23 PM

Nice script. (Y)
Now add support for My Media Player :)


RE: [release] Music now playing by Kev_ on 06-25-2006 at 01:40 PM

very nice script but is the output limited that it gets from the id3 tags ?

i have for example: Blabla Artist vs Artist Without A Name - This Is A Song For You (The Special Version Remix)

and it would cut off, although it's in the id3 tag (id3v1 & v2)

so i would get "Blabla Artist vs Artist W - This Is a Song F"

any ideas ?


RE: [release] Music now playing by DRaGoM on 06-25-2006 at 02:15 PM

I'll try to make a portuguese translation and post here if the author permits

OK, it works now. The script is nearly perfect now, there is only one thing you could fix, that the ".mp3" at the end of the filename is not posted when i use the {filename} tag. Would this be possible?

RE: [release] Music now playing by noroom on 06-25-2006 at 04:31 PM

This is great. I love the option to send the song you're listening to, that's really innovative.

I have a question though. With Plus! 3 I had a quicktext: /wa. It would send: "I'm listening to: (!WAT) (!P)".

That way, I could type: "/wa (It's the new single :D )" and my contact would see: "I'm listening to: Boysetsfire - High Wire Escape Artist (It's the new single :D )".

Is there a way you can add a {text} tag for the /np command so the same can be achieved? Or is this a Plus! Live limitation, that it won't pass any args to the scripts? =/


RE: [release] Music now playing by DRaGoM on 06-25-2006 at 04:36 PM

the script is 100% translated =D how can I create the plsc file??

RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 06-25-2006 at 06:08 PM

in the future we hope to have a script for each major media player (wmp+, itunes+ and winamp+) with working features amongst them (eg requestings songs and information) stay tuned and fingers crossed :)


RE: [release] Music now playing by ShiZZle971 on 06-25-2006 at 06:12 PM

In the future :( sniff lol


RE: [release] Music now playing by DRaGoM on 06-25-2006 at 06:24 PM

Finally I've terminated the portuguese version of the script and it is ready for sharing... I would like to talk with the author of original plugin before attach it here :s

RE: [release] Music now playing by mathieumg on 06-25-2006 at 10:07 PM

A quick note that might interest some users, if some of your contacts sometimes ask you to send them the song you are listening to and would like to do that automatically, here is a small piece of code that will do it:

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind)
{
    if( MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message) == "!getsong")
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage("/sendwinampsong");
    }
}


I guess it was already in the plans to add that feature to this script,  so that's just meanwhile :p
RE: [release] Music now playing by balai on 06-26-2006 at 04:38 PM

Hello !
I was wondering, is this plugin intended to show the currently played song in the Personnal Message area of Windows Live Messenger?
If yes, I cannot make it work :s
If not, would this be possible to add as a new feature?
I also thought of a {personnalMsg} tag which would allow you to add the current personnal message to the np string :
for example if your pm is currently set to "on vacation" and then you launch winamp, it would become "on vacation -- NP : the song in winamp". do you think it's possible ?
thx anyway for your answer


RE: [release] Music now playing by Thor on 06-26-2006 at 04:49 PM

Good script, but the iTunes part, iTunes+ got covered. :)

it gives : "dj blabla - live at party 01"

:(


RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 06-28-2006 at 09:13 PM

MMm i miss the old MP!3 functionality when it comes to (!WAT), if i type: "You should listen to (!WAT)", only (!WAT) is been shown...

Is it possible to change that?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Three6Mafia on 06-28-2006 at 09:26 PM

works fine for me, open up the config for the script and under (!WAT) format add ur tags... im usin {artist}-{title} :D


RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 06-28-2006 at 09:47 PM

So if you type "haha check this song (!WAT)" you see "haha check this song SomeArtist - SomeSong" and not just "SomeArtist - SomeSong"?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Three6Mafia on 06-28-2006 at 10:03 PM

dont c the harm in adding this to ur script config

[c=4]Aaron[/c] [c=1]Is Now Listening To,[/c] [c=7]{artist}-{title}[/c] [c=12]({length})[/c]

just edit it to ur standards.....i personally have it reacting on /mus rather than /np...even changed the xml file so it is listed in the cmds :D


* Three6Mafia acts smart^o)

The new tag is (!MYMEDIA)
RE: [release] Music now playing by noroom on 06-29-2006 at 07:01 AM

Yes it is, but for some reason (maybe because I use Toaster?), (!MYMEDIA) shows something like {1} - {0} - <artist> - <title> and that's really annoying, so I edited the (!WAT) function of this script.

Edit the script. In the drop-down box select main.js. Look for:
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(Wnd,Message)

Below that you sould see three lines of code that have something like: /\(!WAT\) or something like that hidden in it. Select those lines and replace them by this.

code:
    if (Message.match("(!WAT)")){
        return Message.replace("(!WAT)", sendCurrentSong(prefs.get('wat')));
    }

That should do the trick. :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 06-29-2006 at 07:43 AM

:P updated to fix the (!WAT) bug , still working on jetaudio and wmp support... windows in C++ windows dont like me :(

:(


Ok, after fixing the (!WAT) problem, I thought I'd fix up a couple more things, including this problem.

To fix this, edit the script. Select WinampClass.js as the current script file. Then scroll down, you should see:
var Winamp = function(){ somewhere in there. Keep scrolling down until you find:
"CurrentTrack" : function(){

A couple of lines below that, you should find:
code:
        t = title.split('-');
        return {'Title': t[1], 'Artist': t[0]};

Just replace the first line with this:
code:
t = title.split(' - ');

That will also solve the problem with {artist} always having a space at the end and {title} always having a space at the beginning. :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 06-29-2006 at 08:26 PM

Nice, (!WAT) is working all right now :)

intresting but that doesnt really fix it , anyway my new method (if i can get it to work >< ) will fix this
RE: [release] Music now playing by noroom on 06-30-2006 at 11:21 AM

It does fix it for me, but I modified the script greatly, so maybe I forgot something.

What exactly is the problem?

what happens if a song is named like so

Artist: rolling - cats
Ttitle: moo cows

(Ive seen a few songs named like so)
RE: [release] Music now playing by noroom on 06-30-2006 at 01:40 PM

That's why none of my songs have " - " in the artist name. Artists that have a hypen in the name, don't have spaces around it.

e.g.: The All-American Rejects, American Hi-Fi, blink-182. But you're right, now that I think about it, I have 2 songs that have " - " in the song title.

So I came up with this:

code:
        var title = songName.readString(0,false);
        artist = title.substr(0, title.indexOf(" - "));
        title = title.substr(artist.length - (-3));
        return {'Title': title, 'Artist': artist};

That works on songs with a " - " in the title, but not in the artist.
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mr. Bougo on 07-01-2006 at 06:13 PM

I got an alert for the new version of musicnowplaying, what's new in it?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 07-01-2006 at 07:31 PM

Some minor fixes, like (!WAT) can now work with text in front of it, or next to it :)

By the way, today i was listening to a stream (old version though) and it showed as Connecting <url> - Undefined... While Winamp reported the correct data.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mr. Bougo on 07-02-2006 at 12:40 PM

Muh... How can I increase the title length limit? I have tracks with a huge name like

quote:
Ben Bording pres. Benya vs. Inez - Prometheus (Original Mix) (a.k.a. Yamin - Almathea) vs. Stronger (Accapella)
:p


(I use Winamp)
RE: [release] Music now playing by DarcSeraphim on 07-03-2006 at 06:35 AM

Firstly, thanks a lot for this!

I missed (!WAT), and whenever I used (!MYMEDIA), it was doing "{1} - {0} - Artist - Title". No idea what that was all about.

Few things though, although I've found the fix for songs with '-' in the title a few posts up, it might be worth putting that fix in the file linked to at the start of the thread, so everyone doesn't have to do it themselves?

Also "/lyrics" doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something? Does it only read lyrics from ID3 tags, or does it fetch them from a lyrics site?

Finally, {album} doesn't display anything. I'm using Winamp (latest) and all my files have id3 v2.3 tags, so, any ideas?


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 07-04-2006 at 08:34 AM

Updated see the changelog in the first post.


RE: [release] Music now playing by BURN3R on 07-04-2006 at 12:10 PM

For some reason (!WAT) is just sent as (!WAT) to my contacts and seems to not get processed at all, /np isn't recognized as a command, commands like /play /pause /stop etc work correctly.
Any clue on what could be the problem?
If you need more info just ask.

I also thought of a {personnalMsg} tag which would allow you to add the current personnal message to the np string :
for example if your pm is currently set to "on vacation" and then you launch winamp, it would become "on vacation -- NP : the song in winamp". do you think it's possible ?
thx anyway for your answer


I think the same thing, can someone help us ? :grin:
RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 07-12-2006 at 07:40 PM

i think before adding other features we need to have a more stable version of this script...just wait!
thanks writer! :D

you know on the toasts, is it meant to show all the \'s and information like which media player? its kind of annoying why it can't just show: email@email.com is listening to: {song}


RE: [release] Music now playing by Kwama King on 07-14-2006 at 01:55 AM

Hey -dt-  I've got a problem but first let me tell you how awesome your script is potentially.

I'm not much of a winamp users, i use a program called MusikCube, i've used plugins similar to this in the past for msn messenger, this live one is a bit diferent though.  I browsed through your programming in the winampClass one, and i think i've spotted the problem for me, but i'm clueless about how to fix it.


all of the values in the arrays for all the other variables that work are completely different from the artist and title album, and a few others.

this is what i get when i click the plugin:

np    : no_ex - no_ex [04:04]

(almost everything works besides artist, title, and album)

i saw the two functions, oldcurrent and the new current one, to playback the track, and it looks like some sort of hexadecimal is used to define certain variables in those arrays, and i see 1024 for the songname and stuff..... But like i said those funcitons are way different and i think its the reason its not working.  Bitrate works too and its using that interop call thing.

I know my musikcube has a plugin that fully emulates winamp so this is possible, i'm just lost on grabbing hte data like the old plugin used to.  Any help would be wonderful. :D

RE: [release] Music now playing by mihzvol on 07-14-2006 at 10:41 PM

well this script is the best one i ever found

so i have a suggestion...
can add a multi line comand?

it sometimes become too big as some songs have big names, it will be easy to understand if can put like 3 or 4 lines in comand!!!


RE: [release] Music now playing by Sypher on 07-18-2006 at 09:57 AM

I think you broke something in the new release...

"NP    : no_ex- 62.227"

or

"NP    : no_ex- 212.72.186"

Looks like the IP? ;)

That happens with a streams in Winamp...


RE: [release] Music now playing by RuM_ on 07-22-2006 at 04:06 PM

Wierd, {player} don't work at me?! ^o)

For this bug you could use something like this:

    if( MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message) == "!sendsong" && MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Messenger.MyName) != MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Origin) ){

to make sure only the other user responds, I'm not really an experienced script writer so it might not be the best way but it does work
RE: [release] Music now playing by AmbulanceX on 08-08-2006 at 11:11 AM

this script would be 100x better if you made it so it shows the song details in your privert message instead of the regular artist - song. you could then chose what to show.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Intosia on 08-08-2006 at 03:41 PM

Damn good job! I like the command to send the mp3! ^^


RE: [release] Music now playing by Lukeyy19 on 08-11-2006 at 09:19 AM

wow this script looks excelent, but i use WMP so i cannot use it :(, i want WMP support ASAP!!! :P, keep up the good work -dt-, cant wait for WMP support so i can use the script ;)


RE: [release] Music now playing by Kixfox on 08-15-2006 at 05:05 PM

When a song is named like:

When will this be fixed?

RE: [release] Music now playing by AlbioB on 08-17-2006 at 12:43 PM

still no_ex - no_ex bug with Winamp-compatibles and tagged MP3.

also, typing !np when hearing online streams freezes MSN.

Yeah. Gets pretty annoying when you mainly listen to internet radio! :P

@TFaN. Just use the panel in messenger to add the colour yourself. Requests like that just bloat the script. Especially when we want it working 100% before having features added. :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 08-26-2006 at 09:50 PM

The stream bug is weird. I got a couple of internet radio stations I listen to. Below you see a few examples of 'Now Playing' outputs. Note that all of these 5 support 'current title'.

The Dance.FM aac+ stream works fine. ("Accadia - Blind Visions [Harry Peat Rmx] (Dance.FM :: The Beat of Amsterdam :: Powered by NetAware.net) (64k aac+)")

1.FM Dance Hits doesn't work ("no_ex-212.72.186")

XFM doens't work ("no_ex-breedband.xfm")

Fresh FM doesn't work ("no_ex-no_ex")

Music One doesn't work ("no_ex-1011").

It's quite odd...

All using Winamp (5.2) and the most recent version of Now Playing... (1.0.7 if I'm not mistaken)

edit:
I also noted all internet radio station's that are using Windows Media such as Radio 538 and Energy 98 Dance Hits make WLM crash when trying to use Now Playing.

RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-12-2006 at 06:30 PM

How are you doing with the update -dt-?

--------

I noticed a strange bug. My 'Now Playing' settings are "{artist}-{title}" for format and (!WAT) format. However, the output is always "ARTIST - TITLE", like

Digital Dog Feat. 45 Flat - Dirty.

With the song Rotterdam Terror Corps - Chaos on the Dancefloor (E-Noid Rmx) (don't blame me for this song :P a friend sent it to me) the output is

Rotterdam Terror Corps-Chaos on the Dancefloor (E-Noid Rmx)

(without the spaces next to the dash). Somewhere in this thread I saw there was an issue with dashes in a song title. I guess that applies to this bug too. Can this be fixed?


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 09-16-2006 at 12:11 PM

ok new version (finally!)

Changelog 1.0.8
- removed crappy slow dll...
- fixed "-" in filenames by requesting the id3 data from winamp
- radio streams should now display correctly
- added add to sharing folder

Next version:
- jetAudio support!


RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-16-2006 at 04:13 PM

Thanks for the update!

I'm afraid there are still a few issues with streaming music:

  • All stream names now start with ' - ', e.g.

    - Glamour Inc. - Dance Dance Dancin [Promo Mix] (Dance.FM :: The Beat of Amsterdam :: Powered by NetAware.net) (64k aac+)

    or

    - Heather Small - Proud (1.FM -  Dance Hits)

  • Using Now Playing when listening to Windows Media internet streams, such as Radio 538, still crashes WLM.

(see this post for direct URL's to all stations mentioned in this post.).

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0812
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240
Winamp 5.25 Beta 868

RE: [release] Music now playing by AlbioB on 09-16-2006 at 05:24 PM

same issues for me, still using QCD (Winamp compatible). radio streams crash WLM and all songs start with " - "

ill add support for wmp when someone who knows c++ creates a dll to do it, all they have to do is create the wmp control on a form and remote it , then pass the object to jscript :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 09-17-2006 at 06:20 AM

I noticed two problems with the new version.

A - I noticed that while Tracks with - in the Artist Name now work, much like dude commented on the Streams issue, even the songs that have Artist & Title in the ID3 data had an extra " - " in front of them. Every last song :\

B - Second thing I noticed is, some of the features stopped working after updating. The command to send the info, "!np" which I had changed to "!s" no longer worked, aswell as the command to SEND the file, "!sendsong" which I had changed to "!ss" no longer worked either. Though (!WAT) worked fine.

I even tried changing them to their defaults and still no luck. I have no idea how I did it, but I have reverted it back to the version that was release, before yesterdays update and now both of them features work just fine,

C - This doesn't just pertain to the newest update, more of a thing I had happen even before. It seems that if someone else has their Send Information & Send File commands set the same as yours, then it'll send your info.

I first noticed this when I recommended this script to a friend. He got it, and when trying it out, he would type "!np" and my information would show, now sure what showed on his end. Either way, I changed my commands to something different and his worked just fine.

___

Either way, I REALLY love your script. Just the minor bugs I noticed, thought I'd tip you off so you could investigate into the problem. :)

EDIT: Forgot a detail in the second issue. To make things very strange, I opened a convo window with one of my old Address (which wasn't online) and both the !s & !ss commands worked perfectly fine, but not when in convo's with atleast 3 other people while they was online. :\

Told you it was strange, Lol.


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 09-18-2006 at 12:00 PM

Release 1.1.0
-WMP support!
- JetAudio support (only for plus beta testers atm..)
- added new tag (!WWAT) for wmp and new command /wnp
- added new command /jnp for jetaudio



and Mizery_Made you're problems are strange.. im looking into them :P

RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-18-2006 at 12:24 PM

Nice! Good job :).

I see you use the True Launch Bar Remote Control-addon for WMP to create an output. It seems to work fine with mp3 and streaming media. (Y)

Maybe it's good to mention that this addon for WMP must be activated for Now Playing to function properly.

RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-18-2006 at 12:37 PM

Yes it does, you're right. But if WMP crashes, all addons are deactivated automatically and the addon does not carry the name 'Now Playing script for MP!L' or something so people won't recognize it :)

Good lookin', I really do love this script.

EDIT: An update... The "Send Song" & "Send Song File" commands don't work at all now. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the script, rolling it back to the older version, all have the same result. Before they would oddly work in a convo with my old Address given that it was offline, but all support or whatever for it has stopped.

Unsure on what might be contributing to this fact, the only new Messenger Plus! Live script that I have installed is the WinAmp Media script or whatever, but that was AFTER these problems started.

Though, something I didn't tell you before is that I use MediaMonkey. Though, from what I understand, it's basically built ontop of WinAmp (not to mention that it was working completely fine before) as it can even use pluggins built for Amp.

Just to double back and check if that was somehow causing the problem, I just now installed WinAmp, not sure what version. 5.24 maybe. And those two commands didn't work for it either.

Though again, oddly, the (!WAT) method works just fine :\. I would really love to have both commands working again though as I really loved these features.

On a side note, as I mentioned before, the songs were having an added " - " in front of them... seems to be something to do with MediaMonkey as WinAmp doesn't have the Pre-Fix.

Hopefully you can make sense of that ramble above, Lol.
RE: [release] Music now playing by zmaster on 09-19-2006 at 10:08 PM

First of all, great plugin! I love it :) I've updated it to 1.1.0 en I haven't found any problems.  I had the " - " error but thx for fixing that :D

I've got a question. Is it hard to add something like {filename} and {folder} ? It would come in handy so I could show some1 the album. Because the dir the file is in is the name of the album. For example: VA_-_The_No_1_Hardcore_Classics-4CD-2006-SQ


RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-20-2006 at 06:14 AM

If the album information is in the ID3 tag you can just use {album}


RE: [release] Music now playing by kidwizz on 09-21-2006 at 12:57 AM

does this change your pm or is it only a command that sends the info to other people. because when i used this it dosent change my pm


RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 09-21-2006 at 07:36 AM

It doesn't change your PM. You can use the command or the old (!WAT) (in case of Winamp) shortcut to let the other person know what you are listening to.

If you want to change your PM to the song you are currently playing in Winamp, I suggest you try the Winamp Media script or the MessengerAmp plugin for Winamp

BTW... Files with ID3v1 and v2 turned off, so files without ID3 information, also have an extra ' - ' in front of the title.

RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 09-23-2006 at 04:17 AM

Hmm, yet another update on my troubles. I didn't notice the "/<function>" commands until I checked the first page just a moment ago, looking for the WMP command. Both the /np & /sendsong commands work beautifully. So, the problem seems to be isolated in the "Remote Commands", am I the only one having issues with the Remote Commands not working?

It might be something isolated on my PC, as I've noticed one other problem with MSN here in the last several days, when a new song plays, MSN shows it in the Now Playing (and after my name on the Contact List), then it disappears as if there's no media playing after anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds after it plays. Irritating, Lol.

Eitherway, maybe the further info might help you find the problem, or help narrow it down to being a problem with my PC.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 09-26-2006 at 10:51 AM

Sorry for the double post, but given that my other was 4 days ago, I spose it's ok?

Eitherway, I think I have UNCOVERED what was causing my trouble with the Remote Commands! I sniffed it out, I did, I did! Lol. Ok, it seems that the problem occured after installing your next update after Aug 14th, I went back and made a copy of the Script Folder (containing the NEW files) and went to your site and overrode the files in the MAIN folder with all the files from Aug 14th (some being Aug 9th)

The remote commands worked great with the Aug 14th version, so I went in search of differences in the coding that might have caused it. I eventually narrowed it down to the "Main.js" file. Here's the chunk that seemed to cause it:

NEW Version (Doesn't Work)

code:
    if(origin != Messenger.MyName){
        if(remoteSong != -1 && remoteSong != ""){
            if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSong.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
                wnd.SendMessage(sendCurrentSong());
            }
        }
        if(remoteSend != -1 && remoteSend != ""){
            if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSend.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
               
                if(!transferSong(wnd,1)){
                    wnd.SendMessage(prefs.get('notrunning').replace('{player}',"unknown"));
                }
               
            }
        }
       
    }
}

And here is the code I replaced it with that now allows it to work:

Aug 14th Version (WORKS!)
code:
    if(remoteSong != -1 && remoteSong != ""){
        if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSong.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
            wnd.SendMessage(sendCurrentSong());
        }
    }
    if(remoteSend != -1 && remoteSend != ""){
        if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSend.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
           
            if(!transferSong(wnd,1)){
                wnd.SendMessage(prefs.get('notrunning').replace('{player}',"unknown"));
            }
           
        }
    }
}

This may just be a temperary fix. Is it something about my computer that didn't like the "    if(origin != Messenger.MyName){", or is this something that you could fix... either way, I hope my detective work helped you out some how (unless it was just my retarded PC afterall)

you'd better not post your email in plain text because of spam spiders.
and it would take him too much time/effort to inform you by pm or email or msn, as you can check this thread also...

If you could be a bit more specific what happens, or doesn't happen...
RE: [release] Music now playing by Scott_SS on 11-12-2006 at 11:26 PM

Actually nothing happens. I mean, when I type /lyrics or click this option in the NP menu, the lyrics window opens... 'Till here everything is fine...

When I choose the autoupdate mode to iTunes, it recognizes the music is playing and autofill the boxes of artist and song... But no result is given, even if I click "Search".

If I try to manually type the artist and song, and click "Search", again nothing happens.

RE: [release] Music now playing by Rutger on 11-13-2006 at 10:11 AM

I'm using this script for a long time.. but some days ago, it suddenly stopped working.
When I try to start the script, I'm getting the following messages in the Script Debugger:

quote:
Script is starting
Error: Automation server can't create object.
       Line: 324. Code: -2146827859.
Script has failed to start
So I opened the Script Editor and searched the lines 324 in the several files. I think the problem is in window.js, which line 324 is:
quote:
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
I searched the internet for this error, and didn't find a working solution. What I've tried:
- Reinstalling Messenger, Plus! and the script
- Reinstalling Windows Script
- Adjusting IE Security settings for ActiveX controls

Anyone who has another thing I can try? Thanks in advance!

That just means non of the keywords (song, artist) resulted anything, it's not a bug, it's just your music doesn't appear to have lyrics, or is not very well-known.

Seems you have mucked up your script a tad. Bars & Status arn't showing right anymore. Bar now shows [s:1:"|";] instead of [------|----] or whatever. And status shows s:1:" "; instead of the status.

Cheerios, I'll check it now. Though, I bet I'll have to edit part of it myself to get the Remote Commands to work, have had to with every update. May I ask, what exactly does line 93 in the "main" do? With eact update, I have to take that line out for them to work properly.

Nope, just play a song in WMP and then use one of the commands for WMP and it should work.

RE: [release] Music now playing by Pure_BY on 11-14-2006 at 10:26 PM

Plus! 4.10 has a lot of problems with the old scrips, for unknown reason. Email Tooltip, for example, makes Messenger crash.

So, WMP11 is supported, but we need to wait for an update that will fully support Plus! 4.10. Well :)

Odd because I just updated to Plus! 4.10 and the script STILL works fine with WMP11. :\

So, dt, do you have a reason (other than i did it by mistake :P) as to why the script is named "Now Playing" in some windows and "musicNowplaying" on others? :P
Check out the screenshots you posted :P


RE: [release] Music now playing by Plan-1130 on 11-15-2006 at 06:19 AM

That is because 1 name has to be thought of before the actual script is written, and 1 after, so after a few days/weeks/months of hard working there is a big chance you've come up with a better name...
Also when changing the name the user has to uninstall any previous versions, which is quite a bit of work for a newbie...

My theory is its a typo. And knowing how often dt misses such small details, i made that post. dt knew what i meant cause i make such statements all the time :P

RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 11-15-2006 at 08:01 AM

A) Change the thread name
B) Change the screenies :(

dt sucks at updating things (or rather he cba) :sad:

On the bright side, the new version works great apart from the fact that it still searches for lyrics online rather than in the archive first :(

Hey all,
I think im a nuff or newb or wateva, but I don't know how to use MNP to display what I'm listening to in my personal message, like how others who just have plain old messenger withou live can. Id like to know how to because Windows Live Messenger doesn't show "what I'm Listening to"for iTunes.
Any help?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Dudvarek on 12-07-2006 at 12:29 PM

Hi! I'm using JetAudio 6.2.6 Basic, Windows Live Mess. 8.1, Messenger Plus 4.11 and 1.1.7v of this scipt.
I don't know what should I do, to see something on my personal message bar. I've tried everything, I think it's not working with JetAudio.
The script is installed, and in the bar I wrote: (!JWAT)
Any ideas?

(It didn't worked with Live Mess 8.0 with Mess.Plus 4.1 and 1.1.5 script too.)

Thx!


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 12-07-2006 at 02:03 PM

RE: [release] Music now playing by Zuranaken on 12-14-2006 at 08:33 AM

Great script =3

The only problem I have is that I can't add my own custom image for instances when there is no album image. When I browse for a image and select it or even type out the location of the image myself it won't work :/

But other than that everything else works perfectly fine =3


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 12-14-2006 at 08:52 AM

Any chance of you expanding this script just a tad to fully work with MediaMonkey? Before (and even now) the options of "(!WAT)", "/NP" & "/SendSong" worked while using Monkey, I'm not completely sure of the story behind it, but I believe MMonkey was built upon the WinAmp software, or something along the line as when trying to uninstall WinAmp for instance, it will tell you that you need to close WinAmp when you only have MediaMonkey open. (It also works with pretty much all of the plugins built for WinAmp).

So, I figured the two new features (PSM & DP) would work just the same, but even when selecting WinAmp, it can't pull the information from MM. I have loved your script for a long while, and it would be great if I could combine two of the things I love the most, your Script & "Teh Monkey" Lol.

While I would love for you to extend this script to be able to pull the information from this player, I realize that this player isn't likely even known by ALOT of people, let alone used. That is why I won't go kicking and screaming if you decide not to, or simply can't implement support for it. It would simply be iceing on the cake so to speak.

EDIT: You know, I was just looking at the settings screen again, and just happened to look at the Script folder right after. You know, I must say, the nagivation tabs in the Options kinda look bad. (don't mean to put it down, and I'm sure you know this) but the whole Text & Image thing doesn't make much sense to mean, specially given that all the images used are the same. Thus, and this is just a suggest as I'm not even sure how scripting works or anything, but what about turning them into more-so "Tabs" like the Tabbed Browsing in FireFox & Opera, I think this would look alot better. Again, only an observation and suggestion.

"Enable updating your personal message to your current song"?

If so, that is enabled.. and nothing happens

Edit: Got it


RE: [release] Music now playing by E521 on 01-07-2007 at 05:02 AM

Just wondering here, I have the Display Picture enabled, but sometimes for a lot of albums it dosn't display the album cover.

I also winamp with CD Art Display, and it will display it in that, also used WMP to see if it showed in there and it did, but it sometimes wont show for the album currently playing.

Is there anyway to assign the Album art so that the script can find it?

Before (and even now) the options of "(!WAT)", "/NP" & "/SendSong" worked while using Monkey, I'm not completely sure of the story behind it, but I believe MMonkey was built upon the WinAmp software, or something along the line as when trying to uninstall WinAmp for instance, it will tell you that you need to close WinAmp when you only have MediaMonkey open. (It also works with pretty much all of the plugins built for WinAmp).

So, I figured the two new features (PSM & DP) would work just the same, but even when selecting WinAmp, it can't pull the information from MM. I have loved your script for a long while, and it would be great if I could combine two of the things I love the most, your Script & "Teh Monkey" Lol.

While I would love for you to extend this script to be able to pull the information from this player, I realize that this player isn't likely even known by ALOT of people, let alone used. That is why I won't go kicking and screaming if you decide not to, or simply can't implement support for it. It would simply be iceing on the cake so to speak.

EDIT: You know, I was just looking at the settings screen again, and just happened to look at the Script folder right after. You know, I must say, the nagivation tabs in the Options kinda look bad. (don't mean to put it down, and I'm sure you know this) but the whole Text & Image thing doesn't make much sense to mean, specially given that all the images used are the same. Thus, and this is just a suggest as I'm not even sure how scripting works or anything, but what about turning them into more-so "Tabs" like the Tabbed Browsing in FireFox & Opera, I think this would look alot better. Again, only an observation and suggestion.

its not based off winamp, it implements most of the winamp 2 api which is a quite old api.

anyway i should be able to create a plugin for its remote script api :)

not right now, the album is fetched via amazons image search so if they dont have it, the album wont be shown.

Hello,

Great script, but I cannot get the /sendsong !sendsong or sharing folders functions to work with WMP11. All other bits are working fine.

Is WMP11 unsupported or am I doing something wrong?

Thankyou

Well Im not sure but it would seem that the best way to get any album art would be to ask the user to find it LOL.  I know not all album art is finderable on any website database, most still haven't heard of DJ JD (Jacob Diefenbach) which dont bother me at all, but I did find the album cover which is not published to any 'good' db that I am aware of.

So that would mean to me that the first thing I would do is place a image file (normally jpg/jpeg) in the folder called "album art.jpg".  Which I then delete all the stupid Windows Media Player stuff if I run that to play the music (I will if I use G-Force visuals)

So it would seem obvious the first place the script should look after all is in the same folder for the Album Art files, or if directed by user to look in a set folder where the user will move/copy all album covers into that Directory... however what to use as those titles can vary.

Now when it comes to scripts I have no idea how easy/hard/possible this would be to implement, but to me this should be possible after all if it can send the file to another user, it can find files on my hard drive thats in the same dir.

Second thoughts:
Im not sure of how WMP does this, but I know that it is able to attach files to the music clip.  So for example I add all the Album art, any pictual images of music clips to the individual music file.  Is it therefore able to find images found within the WMP attachment feature?

I tried to see if I could get it to work, I was apperaing offline which might be the reason, but no comand worked with WMP - didn't have time to test if winAMP still worked.

Forgive me for my confusion. I don't know too much when it comes to apps and how they work. Like API's and such, I likely just seen so many references to it being compatible with WinAmp's Plugins, that I just assumed it was built upon WinAmp in some sort.

There's talk brewing about the new MM 3.0, which will be the next big release with alot of added features, alot of updates and such. So they may change the use of this API at that time. Though, not too much is revealed about 3.0, so until they release more info, or a beta... all there is, is speculation.

*Bows* One small note though, it's MediaMonkey, though it really should be called Music Monkey as the current version (2.5) only supports music, Lol.

Anyway, seems to work perfectly. Solves alot of the problems I found when using the WInAmp to work around the unsupportedness of this player. The Status tag now works properly, aswell as it actually reports the information as "<artist>" - "<title>" rather then "<artist> - <title>"

Overall, very happy with this update, and I thank you much for it. Though, I did notice it doesn't seem to work with the Cover Display option. Unsure if this is due to the way I store that information, or if it's simply MediaMonley/Your Script not being compatible with this option. (which I wouldn't worry about since it's not a needed option for me, just an added bonus if it worked). Also while speaking of this function, (has probably already been discussed, but I simply forgot about it), when searching for an image to display when there's no Cover, you can't seem to choose a .jpg file. Anyway...

Is there something wrong with the automatic update? I don't recall getting a notice about an update, nor recall it updating itself without me noticing when you released the new version. Didn't know about it til I came here.

Either way, keep up the great work, this is by far my favorite script for WLM+MPL.

automatic updates happen every week, so you wouldn't have got the notification just yet (though you can force a update check from within the options).

You can scratch this... sorta. I tried it out again moments ago and to my surprise, the DP Changed. Shuffled through a handful of tracks, and it seems real Hit-&-Miss as to whether it'll show the cover, some with covers not showing up. *Blinks*

Anyway... Cheerios.
RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 01-08-2007 at 05:05 PM

Yeah its one of those random things that don't switch on instantly sometimes.
Like sometimes the psm doesn't come up immediately (when initially switched on) so a simple pause/play in winamp fixes that ;)


RE: [release] Music now playing by warmth on 01-08-2007 at 11:06 PM

For some strange reason... when you said to your script that select an image if didn't find the album art and the windows of select the file pops up... the .jpg can not be seing :S! (I don't try it with other extensions) but when you copy the exact path like
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documentos\My Shared Folder 3\Rakim y Ken-Y\Masterpiece World Tour\soldout_cd.jpg" then your script displays the album art perfect... :|

You don't get any options in your Plus! Icon > Music Now Playing > Config/Options?

Try removing the script, downloading the latest version of the script and then installing it.

hmm another problem...
when i put !WAT, sometimes works properly but sometimes just give me a blank line...and when i try with /np it shows that my winamp is stopped when im listening stuff in it...
any help?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Apprentice_Anakin on 01-23-2007 at 06:37 AM


Suggestion

Anyway we could get {year} added as one of the tags? I'd like to display songs like this:

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is - JET (2006)
American Idiot - Green Day (2004)
etc.

Would appreciate it a lot! :)

Great plug-in by the way!

(A_A)


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 01-23-2007 at 08:39 AM

If Music now playing fails to load and you've installed an update within the last few days please re download it and reinstall :) thanks.

There was a problem with my subversion => plsc exporter php script and it left the language directory empty causing mnp to fail on load :(

RE: [release] Music now playing by rogerke on 01-23-2007 at 07:08 PM

would it be possible to display the album art in the id3tag or the image defined by folder.jpg instead of getting it from amazon. all my albums are tagged nicely. if they aren't, it means that i can't find the album art on amazon or on the rest of the internet, so in those cases i'd like to display my default avatar instead of some random image from amazon like it does now :(

but, although this sounds like nagging, i love the script! great job! really cool functions!

I'd second this, if it's possible to read the information from the Tags that is, if not then atleast the Folder.jpg option.

If implemented, then another option setting to think about would be one where you can specify to only get this information from the tag, the folder, or Amazon (with a combination option where Tag-->Folder-->Amazon) for instance.

Edit @ Warmth; it stated when I updated, I believe the changes mainly pertained to the Lyrics function, and the change of Music Monkey to MediaMonkey. Though, you might wait for someone else who remembers more clearly then myself.

Edit @ dt; I noticed that while theres a new option for "MediaMonkey" in the dropdown, the old "MusicMonkey" is still there, did you forget to take it out?

I have a copy of Vista installed and WMP nor Winamp work with it. All they show is the normal "Now Playing:" text and shows 00:00/00:00 [] Stopped :o. I've tried messing around with things but it still doesn't seem to work. Is there a work-around for this, or is it currently not compatible with Vista?

Thanks


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 02-06-2007 at 03:57 AM

new version :D
Version 1.2.7
- renamed Music Monkey to Media Monkey
- fixed lyrics cache not being used
- added file transfer and bitrate support for WMP

I get the same problem with it saying I have nothing playing.

Are we meant to disable the old MSN Messenger plugin that comes with MSN or not ?

The normal plugin works but I can't get this script to work. :(

I assume you're using windows media player, disable the "windows live messenger music plugin" and make sure "true launch bar remote bar control" is enabled

then go into the script options and on the tab named Main, there should be an option saying "Main player" from that dropdown click wmp and then it should work :)

How hard will it be to add the extension of the file? Like mp3, cda, flac ...
It would be awsome if you could do that.


RE: [release] Music now playing by TedoDude on 02-19-2007 at 08:52 PM

Another small feature request:
Would you be able to add (similar to [ifartist]), an [ifplaying], because often I leave Windows Media Player open, and I have the song I'm playing shown in my personal message. Thus it stays "..... (Paused)" for ages, when I'd rather it showed the text of my personal message.

Otherwise, great script, very happy with it, exceptionally helpful in changing the default music information shown in the personal message.


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 02-21-2007 at 12:36 AM

Version 1.2.8
- added auto language detection on install (based on plus's language)
- added dutch translation (thanks mippo :D)
- update class no longer checks for updates on first install
- added ExamplePlayer.base.js to /Players for those people wondering how to create a player

the next build will have something like

[if_*=paused] show this[/if_*]

where * is the tag, like artist, title, album, status

See the file attachment for print screen. I can't find anywhere the registry information for Music now playing.... I think that might be it but not sure.

I have a suggestion to make for the /sendsong part of this script. Right now, the command will start a file transfer if the song is local or do nothing if the song is streaming. Instead, would it be possible to send a link of the stream?

Almost all my albums have the correct folder.jpg, but I'm getting a slightly different image for some albums (not the right one).

My god, like it actually really matters haha. But yeah just an idea...

Thanks for this amazing plugin :)
Will do in the next release :)

RE: [release] Music now playing by just_a_name on 02-26-2007 at 07:38 PM

There seems to be a problem with the parsing of lyrics... it doesn't break the lines up when it displays (but if I copy and paste into a new window/chat etc, they are line broken!)


RE: [release] Music now playing by prashker on 02-27-2007 at 04:06 AM

Got a suggestion.

Sometimes when I listen to online radio stations, like di.fm

And in WLM it shows my now playing as

<song title - artist> (DI.FM <RANDOM ADVERTISEMENT THING FOR THE SITE>)

So maybe you could add like a 'blacklist' menu, where you can add text so if that text is in the song name, it removes it.

For example

Now Playing: Taco Bean Jerry

If you add Bean to the Blacklist.

Now Playing: Taco Jerry

Just an idea :p.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Baggins on 03-01-2007 at 12:05 AM

When I have the bar in my psm it does not update(just stays at the beginning), and the send song to an app does not work.


RE: [release] Music now playing by warmth on 03-03-2007 at 09:16 AM

Hey mate... I found what I think are 2 bugs... One in spanish translation ---> "Check Now" appears in english... what would be "Chequear ahora" (In exact translation) or "Buscar actualizaciones ahora"/"Buscar ahora" (In a better sound translation)...

And the second one... I that I clicked "Check Now" and then it appers a word in bold saying the is searching for it... but It doesn't disappear... keeps searching until I close the config box... never found nothing or never say there is not a new version... I have the most reacently WLM and MP!L release... (I though that can be a problem with my AVG Internet security firewall but now I don't think so...)*-)

Is it possible to support unicode for Winamp at the next version?

It currently returns this for my chinese songs:

it does support unicode... make sure you have the latest version of winamp or it will not work

RE: [release] Music now playing by n0obie4life on 03-06-2007 at 12:47 AM

Isn't Winamp 5.33 the latest?

Or do I have to use the full version?

Thanks :).


RE: [release] Music now playing by prashker on 03-06-2007 at 12:52 AM

Unicode should work with Free or Pro.

RE: [release] Music now playing by stuartbennett on 03-08-2007 at 10:06 PM

well you can forget the whole downloadfile crapo it dont work, it would appear patchou hasnt built it correctly all that stupid thing does is crash your messenger into oblivian so its worthless as a feature.

now i know that may sound a bit harsh on patchou however when you consider how long it took him to develope this latest version of plus you would atleast expect that all included features would work properly, i always thought that patchou used beta testers to look for these kinda problems which in that case means one of two things must have happened.

1) patchou chosen a group of poor quality testers who failed to detect this bug

2) the testers did find it butpatchou didnt get time to fix it in time for the release but kept it in hoping nobody would notice it.

the reason i am being so hard faced about this is because patchou made a big deal on the site about how scripts had to be fully functional and tested before he would add them to his script database yet it seems that a not fully functional version of plus has been released to a poor and unsuspecting public which to me is rather hipocritical of him.


RE: [release] Music now playing by novolo on 03-08-2007 at 10:17 PM

Hi,   the script works great!!    nice fixes...

the thing that got me worried with the previous release was the album thing, it downloaded very few album images, now it works great,  except for one thing....

all of the album images stay in the "change your display picture" window....     every time a new album image is set  it stays in the images window....        in the previous version you got fewer album images but they didn't filled up that window...

any idea why?  any fix?   

i also noticed, that fewer images where saved in the cache\art  folder...

well just that,  its the best feature for me  the album display picture...

let us know when you fix it


GREAT SCRIPT!!(Y)


RE: [release] Music now playing by MeEtc on 03-09-2007 at 12:46 AM

Ever since I have installed this script, WinAmp started crashing occasionally while I am listening to a stream. I cannot say for sure that now Playing is doing anything to WinAmp, but it has only occured while MSN is running, and only since NP was installed.

Using latest MSN/Plus
(stuffplug too, but the problems began before then)

This is the error I get:

scary, Ive added you to messenger. Could you post the stream (or send it via messenger)

* -dt- would like to find out what causes this problem
RE: [release] Music now playing by stuartbennett on 03-09-2007 at 06:02 AM

the exact problem i get is i get a notification that now playing script needs updating to version 1.3.0 i get a window that lists the changes etc and has 2 buttons one marked "download" the other marked "disable updates" when i click the download button it freezes the program and causes messenger to crash according to this window these updates are downloaded by the downloadfile feature of messenger plus 4.20 so one would assume that is where the problem lies.

i am using the latest version of the mcafee internet security suite just incase that has any bearing on the issue i am using plus 4.20 and wlm 8.1 final on a windows xp pro with sp2 machine, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

:-/ are you sure you are using 4.20, the alternative download method only happens on versions before that (alternative method freezes it)
RE: [release] Music now playing by stuartbennett on 03-09-2007 at 12:16 PM

i am absolutely certain that i am using 4.20 as on march 1st i downloaded the copy on the downloads page which claims to be version 4.20 after reading patchous release announcement and i got the 9 built in scripts that one the scripting contest which are only supposed to exist in 4.20 so i am therefore assuiming i have the latest version, i haven't had chance to play about with 4.20's settings yet so if i upgraded from a previous version would it use its old settings if so where do i find the downloadfile feature enable tickbox?

if it wouldnt be a settings issue then could patchou please fix the problem and release a patch?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 03-10-2007 at 11:40 AM

Love what you've done with the current update, love that you got the Album Cover's working with the Folder Image. :) Now, if only there was a way to solve the issue of a million 'Folder' images in your DP Selection window, Lol.

Keep up the terrific job, I would say that this is my favorite script by far.

but it seems to not work

is there a reason why ???????

thanks alot :)


RE: [release] Music now playing by qricth on 03-10-2007 at 09:08 PM

thx for the script. i have downloaded but it doesn't working correctly. my player is jet audio version 6.2.4.7026 plusvx and script's version is 1.3. when i play a song there is only "-" in my personal message what can i do?


RE: [release] Music now playing by rock3r on 03-11-2007 at 10:21 AM

i have a request (i dunno if anybody asked 4 it before): what about per-user settings? me and my brother share the same pc, but we have different contacts. i love album art feature, he doesn't. what actually happens is that everytime he logs in he finds that it's been enabled by me, and disables it; then, when i login, i have to re-update it--it's messy, and a bit annoying (i think it could be fixed just in a short time, but i don't have much spare time in these days). also, could the script reset automatically to the "old" personal image when no cover art is found and/or when music is stopped and/or when media player app (i use winamp, btw) is closed, and/or when logging out? i would really appreciate it.. thank you for the great script!!

RE: [release] Music now playing by chompas on 03-13-2007 at 03:31 AM

I have a problem. When i write !np nothing happensI have set the Winamp as default player but to show a song u have to clic on the scripts button > Now Playing > Send Winamp song.

What could it be?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 03-13-2007 at 05:04 AM

The "!" (!np, etc.) commands are for people your talking to (Remote), for you, you use the "/" (/wnp, etc.) commands.


RE: [release] Music now playing by MeEtc on 03-13-2007 at 04:02 PM

I have tried adding Unicode characters into a few places (specifically characters for the bar and status options)
I am trying to place:
&#9552; (Unicode 2550 - Box Drawings Double Horizontal) x2 in the filler box,
&#9578; (Unicode 256A - Box Drawings Vertical Single And Double Horizontal) as the separator
&#9658; (Unicode 25BA - Black Right-Pointing Pointer) for play status
&#9612; (Unicode 258C - Left Half Block) x2 for pause status
&#9632; (Unicode 25A0 - Black Square) for stop status

I can set these characters, but when using the script, the characters don't output. Does anyone have any suggestions, or -dt-, can you add Unicode support? (If it already does, what am I doing wrong?)

hmm, i guess the forum doesn't like unicode either...

Those characters work fine in the Chat Window (with the Now Playing commands) though they do appear wrong in the PSM, maybe this isn't a problem with the script, but rather limitations on the PSM?
RE: [release] Music now playing by MeEtc on 03-13-2007 at 04:31 PM

no, its with the script. I have tried this with the global hotkey and /np in the chat window. I don't even have these chars in my PSM


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 03-13-2007 at 04:40 PM

Well they worked fine for me with the 'Now Playing' function, so I don't know.


RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 03-14-2007 at 03:26 AM

I have this problem too! I'm on iTunes. My PSM just updates once when a song starts. But when the next song is up, it goes back to the oldskool-WLM-style-now-playing PSM! What's causing this problem?

**edit

Oh: and some ideas, dunno if possible, but this script makes a lot possible already:

color support (rainbow command! etc.)
emo support (I'd like to add some (8) in my PSM etc.)
when this script gets to it's final stages, you should consider asking Patchou to make it a feature in Plus! This script is so great and it will be even greater when it's more or less finished... Patchou will have to accept it!

The PSM will only update when your music changes, or when the status (play/pause/stop) changes. The bar would have to be updated every second for it to do what you want. This would cause a lot of unnecessary traffic on your internet connection, sending your PSM every second. Not to mention everyone on your contact list as well.

The PSM doesn't support colour codes. This is a limitation of Plus!, not the script.
AFAIK

The psm does in fact support color codes, but they are only displayed in the contact list and not the actual input box which you type the psm in.

That's not really my problem. I really don't care too much about the bar. But my problem is the PSM text switching to the normal WLM music text everytime the next song is played. That annoys me and my contacts! Sometimes (not always) the PSM changes to the Music Now Playing text after about 10-30 seconds. But as I said: it doesn't always do that. That means that my PSM sometimes looks cool, but sometimes it's the plain ugly WLM PSM! :(

And the strange thing is that sometimes it works the way it should, but most of the time wrong.

Another idea:
The bar: update the bar every minute (WLM should be able to handle 1 PSM change per minute). What's the use of that cool bar if it doesn't update?
RE: [release] Music now playing by rock3r on 03-15-2007 at 04:59 PM

any idea for for-user settings? any help appreciated


RE: [release] Music now playing by qricth on 03-16-2007 at 11:13 AM

where can i found version 1.2.5?


RE: [release] Music now playing by jell0r on 03-17-2007 at 01:00 AM

Hi there,

This sure is a cool script, yet users will never cease to ask for more features, and I am no exception ;)

First, I'll join with the people that request some sort of update functionality for the PSM, so the bar or the time elapsed will stay accurate. It was suggested to update once every minute, but that wouldn't nearly be enough for tracks who's length is only 2 minutes (quite common for filmtracks). I don't know the maximum frequency with which the PSM can be updated, but I think it should be possible to calculate the update frequency dynamically, depending on the length of the track (and in case of the bar, also depending on the length of the bar). Consider for example this pseudocode:

code:
IF {bar} IN psm:
    x = song_length / bar_length
    update psm every x seconds
ELSE IF {elapsed} IN psm:
    x = MAX(10, MIN(60, song_length / 10))
    update psm every x seconds

Second, I'd like a tag {track}, that displays the tracknumber of the song. It might be desirable to optionally add a leading zero, but I doubt that would be usefull (after all, it's not like you need to align it with something else).
RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 03-17-2007 at 03:33 AM

Yeah the song number would be good. I still want support for video detection and the ability to not update the psm for videos.

Afaik, the psm is updated every 3 seconds :) So if the song is longer than 30 seconds, it should be pretty accurate :) An error of +/- 1 second on the bar in the psm is surely negligible ;)


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 03-17-2007 at 03:51 AM

wow this is going to be a big post :P

thats by design, I hate things flooding the psm, but just because people keep bugging me about it ill add some sort of checkbox or something to allow updating every x seconds or using the code jell0r said

[if_stream] (only works with winamp atm)

{listpos} does that

No, with the tracknumber I mean the number as stored in the ID3 tag, not the position in the playlist. Usually I enqueue albums to my playlist without emptying my playlist before, which results in track 1 to 18 being placed in, for example, {listpos} 37 - 54.

RE: [release] Music now playing by antiaries on 03-23-2007 at 03:25 AM

I just recently installed the latest Messenger Plus! and was trying to figure out how to utilize the Now Playing 1.3.0 script that it came with.

While looking at this page: http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/58-Music-Now-Playing/

It stated that one needed to click on the Messenger Plus! logo. This didn't yield what I was looking for until I clicked on the Scripts icon in the message window instead.

Anyway, what I'm here for is this: Is it possible that in a future update that one could enable foobar2000 support? I'd really appreciate it.

install the winamp api wrapper for foobar2000 for foobar support

Thanks for the heads up. It does what it's supposed to do for the most part, but songs with unicode tags yield broken text and files named with unicode characters will not load at all.

Using Winamp, neither is an issue, so it's probably just an API code limitation based on Winamp prior to unicode support?

yeah, winamp only added unicode support in 5.10 or something so i doubt the foobar winamp thing supports unicode yet : <

RE: [release] Music now playing by Numenor on 03-24-2007 at 01:38 AM

Thank you for the *great* script! :) I'm enjoying it very much, though since the beginning I experienced some problems with the Display Picture: apart from the (rare) cases the script could retrieve the album cover from the Internet, no custom cover was displayed as DP, no matter the name I assigned to the image file.

Apart from this malfunction, and unless I've misunderstood the script functions, the script only allows *one* cover per folder. It may be unusual, I don't know, but I have, for example, a big collection of MP3s directly recorded from my old 45RPM vinyl records: none of them have an "Album" defined in the ID3, and they all reside in the same "45RPM" folder; I *really* would have had the ability to assign a per-file cover...

So, I've examined the script. Please keep in mind that this is the very first time I examine or edit a javascript, so forgive me if my solution is rough :P


EDIT: please read my next post for the modified script and explanations

Hey,

Is it possible to get your script to not send my files as...(look at filename)
[Image: capturemz0.jpg]

It's kind of irritating..especially when  everything else is corrrect -

and that WLM supports sending of filenames with Chinese Characters.

Thanks :).

RE: [release] Music now playing by Numenor on 03-24-2007 at 12:45 PM

I've changed again the "coverArt.js" script, now it works like it should; the modifications (compared to the original script), apart from some comments and debug lines, are the ones in bold:


code:
...

var MyFilename;

function album_checkInDirForCover(dir, album, filename, artist){

    //removes the extension from the currently playing file name
    var MyFilename = filename;
    var dirparts = MyFilename.split(".");
    dirparts.pop();
    var MyFilename = dirparts.join(".");


    var items = ["Album", "Cover", "Folder", album, artist]
    var exts = ["jpg", "jpeg", "gif", "png", "bmp"];

    //searches for cover with same filename as media file
    for(ext in exts){
        file = MyFilename + "." + exts[ext];
        //Debug.Trace('Looking for cover: ' + file);
        if(fso.FileExists(file)){
            Debug.Trace('Found cover: ' + file);
            return file;
        }
    }


    //continues search for cover
    for(name in items){
        for(ext in exts){
            file = dir + items[name] + "." + exts[ext];
            //Debug.Trace('Looking for cover: ' + file);
            if(fso.FileExists(file)){
                Debug.Trace('Found cover: ' + file);
                return file;
            }
        }
    }
    Debug.Trace('No cover found for file ' + filename);
    return false;
}

function getAlbum(artist, album, callback, file){
   
    var dirparts = file.split("\\");
    dirparts.pop();
    var dir = dirparts.join("\\") + "\\";
    var item;
    if(fso.FileExists(coverArtDirectory + stripfilename(album) + ".jpg")){
        callback(coverArtDirectory + stripfilename(album) + ".jpg");
   
    }else if(item = album_checkInDirForCover(dir, album, file, artist)){
        Debug.Trace('from file');
        callback(item);
    }else{
        CoverArtTemp = callback;
        CoverArtAlbum = album;

        new Ajax(sprintf(cover_url, escape(artist + " " + album)), {"onComplete" : parseAlbumResults.bind(this)});
    }
}




As you can notice, the differences are:
  • When the GetAlbum function calls the Album_checkInDirForCover, it passes not only the dir parameter, but also album, file and artist (as received from the Main.js).
  • In the album_checkInDirForCover, in the var items, corrected the single apices  enclosing the elements of the list into quotation marks (oddly enough, the element Folder already was enclosed in quotation marks, while Album and Cover had single apices. I don't know if in javascript the difference is relevant, but anyway the "Folder.jpg" worked, while the "Album.jpg" didn't.
  • Again, converted the single apices to quotation marks in the var exts.
  • Appended the additional parameters passed by the GetAlbum function (Album and Artist) to the list of elements for the var items.
  • Added a For...Next loop that runs before the standard search for cover.

As a result, the script, when it can't find a cover on the Internet, nor in the cache\art folder, looks into the folder where resides the currently playing MP3 and searches for an image in this order:
  1. Variable name: (MP3 filename).jpg  (or .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp)
  2. Exact name: "Album.jpg"
  3. Exact name: "Cover.jpg"
  4. Exact name: "Folder.jpg"
  5. Variable name: (Album name from ID3).jpg
  6. Variable name: (Artist name from ID3).jpg
    [/list]


    In my system, it works like a charm: I can assign a cover to each single MP3 (by creating a .jpg with the same name of the .mp3), or assign a cover to each album (while having multiple albums in the same folder), or even creating a "default" jpg with the artist image, and the script will select it if anything else fails.


    I hope that my explanation makes sense; I'm sorry if my terminology is not accurate, but - as said - I'm not a programmer and I've never dealt with javascripts before.

    For anyone interested, I'm attaching the modified "coverArt.js" (I've removed the one in my previous post);
    @ DT: feel free to do with the code whatever you want :)
    @anyone else: use it at your own risk.

RE: [release] Music now playing by n0obie4life on 03-24-2007 at 04:11 PM

Hi -dt-,

The problem should be MsgPlus Live!'s because if I used the send files feature in WLM itself, it displays the chinese characters.

Gonna report this bug..

Thanks :).

RE: [release] Music now playing by Apprentice_Anakin on 04-02-2007 at 03:40 PM

"- Album service now checks for Album/cover with the extension jpg/png/gif in the songs folder for the album cover to show"

By default, Windows XP and Windows Media Player places an image called 'Folder.jpg' into each folder that contains a music album. Perhaps we could add support for this? Or is it already?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Numenor on 04-02-2007 at 10:46 PM

The file named "Folder.jpg" is already checked and read by NowPlaying; it searches also for files named Album.jpg/gif/png
My problem is that is that the "Folder.jpg" placeds by WMP is always the last one downloaded by the internet service; and NowPlaying assumes it is related to *all* the files in the folder. Therefore, if you have in the same folder files from different albums (or artists), NowPlaying always uses the "Folder.jpg".


RE: [release] Music now playing by Oxy on 04-05-2007 at 07:38 PM

The forum should also support [c], especially since they are so closely related.


RE: [release] Music now playing by psycho_maniac on 04-08-2007 at 06:12 PM

you can use one at the forum theres a thing in the settings. Click Misc settings and set up a short cut. I have Ctrl+Q. I use it for a thread in a forum. Works very cool and you can see it type without you touching the keyboard.......
* psycho_maniac presses Ctrl+Q Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (Extended Version)
and i doubt the forums will support [c]

It doesn't work for me with the winamp api plugin. My winamp title bar format string in foobar is "[%artist% - ]%title%" , and basically the script takes the whole string as the song title. How do I get it to recognize the artist as well?
RE: [release] Music now playing by rix on 04-11-2007 at 09:11 PM

RE: [release] Music now playing by MrJacky on 04-12-2007 at 12:33 PM

You should actually include that it's already included in the new version of Messenger Plus! Live. ;)

I almost went to download it, thinking it is a different script from the Now Playing already in the new version of MsgPlus.

You might want to try add Musicmatch Jukebox. It's a really nice music player, like Winamp, but unfortunately the only script I can find which support it has been discontinued.

RE: [release] Music now playing by phisher on 04-15-2007 at 04:15 PM

just wanna congratulate on script well working and while there, would it be difficult to have automatically refreshing PSM message? Currently have copied the default "now playing" formatted message to PSM box as well, but it would be eye candy feature to have it automatically update maybe once a sec to reflect song position time wise and bar wise. only request or a thought unless it becomes a resource hungry feature and difficult to implement as such.

RE: [release] Music now playing by Plan-1130 on 04-15-2007 at 08:26 PM

If I may give you a piece of advice: read the thread before posting. The servers do not allow too frequent updates of you nickname and psm, and even if they would, nobody will actually keep watching your psm to see what you're listening.


RE: [release] Music now playing by rix on 04-21-2007 at 10:35 AM

Why can't the language (translation in About section) be translated?

The "Save" button doesn't save the lyrics in the ID3 tags; the lyrics are saved in a special subfolder within the NowPlaying script folder, so that it can be retrieved quickly and displayed in the lyrics window.

RE: [release] Music now playing by n0obie4life on 04-27-2007 at 12:25 PM

Foobar2k Support (w/out the winamp emulator plugin.., I feel that the COM plugin works better than the winamp one)

1. Install this - http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=39946&st=0

2. Create a file called fb2k.player.js and put it in the now playing's player folder in the script directory (Default: C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Now Playing\players).

Input the data found here: http://www.ampaste.net/9037

And you should be ready.

Note: No support, the sendsong feature doesn't work for some reason. But at least it does what it is supposed to. Also, this assumes that FB2K is always open as long as Messenger is (i cannot use the interop.call to check if it's open for some reason..it's due to the GUID thing I guess)


RE: [release] Music now playing by Salem on 04-27-2007 at 03:23 PM

Great script -dt-

Would it be possible to turn off the PSM and/or DP functionality via a command in the WLM conversation window? This would mean that the currently playing media information will not be shown in the PSM or the album art as your Display Picture, but your contacts will still be able to see your media information by typing !np etc.

~Salem(@)


RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 04-28-2007 at 06:35 AM

seriously locks up messenger on Vista x64 :@

I use itunes 7.1.1, Latest Msgplus Beta, Latest Messenger Version

Enabling album art DP's completely f**ks it also
Infact enabling or doing anything f**ks it

PSM rename freezes messenger for ages
Send itunes song freezes messenger etc etc ¬_¬

no genre tag either :O~

Just tested with WMP and it works fine, the problem seems to be with itunes or how you parse the information from it,

Just a side note though it only works with the 32bit version of WMP :P


RE: [release] Music now playing by Bjossi on 04-28-2007 at 08:05 PM

I love this script! Started using it early this year.
Though I'd appreciate one add-on to it; XMPlay support. That little music player is my favorite and when I play music with it, MSN doesn't display any of the extra tags this script offers except basic ones like title and artist.

I'd be very glad if you could add XMPlay to the list of supported players. :)

iTunes remains unsupported on 64 bit editions of Windows, including Windows Vista and Windows XP x64.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042


RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 04-29-2007 at 08:42 AM

yes i know its officially unsupported however in regard to this script it doesn't work well.

Whereas itunes+ script does it's tasks and they work mostly, but the developer is really busy and doesn't have the time to update and fix his script any more, hence why I'm 'switching' to now playing.... or would at least like to.


RE: RE: [release] Music now playing by indianstallion on 04-30-2007 at 03:42 AM

This is a godsend, thanks!
BTW just to add, you need to run foobar with the flag "/regsvr:comserver2" to start the com server.
So change your target path on your shortcut to something like
""C:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" /regsvr:comserver2"

1. Install this - http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=39946&st=0

2. Create a file called fb2k.player.js and put it in the now playing's player folder in the script directory (Default: C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\Now Playing\players).

Input the data found here: http://www.ampaste.net/9037

And you should be ready.

Note: No support, the sendsong feature doesn't work for some reason. But at least it does what it is supposed to. Also, this assumes that FB2K is always open as long as Messenger is (i cannot use the interop.call to check if it's open for some reason..it's due to the GUID thing I guess)


RE: [release] Music now playing by EDP on 05-14-2007 at 09:20 AM

I noticed that if you play a song longer than 1 hour you time in the pm shows this i.e.: xxxx/1:17:51

Funny is that when the xxxx is greater than 1 hour it shows: 75:02/1:17:51 in stead of 1:15:02/1:17:51

Can this be fixed? It's a minor bug.


RE: [release] Music now playing by lucied on 05-16-2007 at 12:40 PM

is there a way to limit the amount of times the song can be sent(or any other file)? my friends are spamming the send song command and i send them like 10 invitations in 4 sec

nice tip... but I don't think this is a problem of this script... maybe you should try some plugin or script that its function is stop the overall spam in wlm...:^)

Check this for example: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=69...d=758791#pid758791 ;)

Nice tip indeed (y). Thought as such I personally think that some flood-protection should be build in in _any_ script which uses remote commands (so you don't need yet another script to stop something like this). So, it could well be one of those unwritten rules that if you use remote commands (starting with "!", another one of those unwritten rules) you should also build in some flood protection... dunno...

RE: [release] Music now playing by Dominor on 06-02-2007 at 11:53 PM

Hi, I'm sorry to ask this (which I believe has been asked a million times now), but why not make a plugin that works with Media Player Classic?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Lou on 06-03-2007 at 04:39 PM

Suggestions given to me through irc:

You should have 'Apply' 'Ok' and 'Cancel' buttons, it's a lot more clear than 'save' which saves (and closes the configuration :\) and 'close' which actually cancel the changes.

Make it possible to support more than one player.

When cover art isn't found, instead of loading a picture, just use the one used on Messenger before the music started playing.


RE: [release] Music now playing by warmth on 06-03-2007 at 04:56 PM

I am with u .Lou... Is very bad when you have to do a change and forget other and you don't have a apply button that don't close the window to fix that... and I wanna see Yahoo! music jukebox compatibility sometime... (H)

RE: [release] Music now playing by Izzmit on 06-05-2007 at 04:09 AM

So, I recently got mad at Windows Media player, and went looking for a new media player. I found Media Monkey, and really like it. But I must have my MSN messenger message show what im playing,(why? i dont know...) so I found this script, and it works exactly how I want, except for a problem. The below error shows up whenever I exit:

[Image: untitled-8.jpg]

I tried disabling a number of scripts in Media Monkey, but none seem to work. As long as Windows Messenger is running, I get the COM error whenever I exit. Do you know of any conflicts that may be causing this?

To those who may also use Media Monkey, and are registered on their forum, my username is the same there as here, and here is the topic I started over there:

I'd love to have {artist} - {album} ({year}) - {title} in the PSM.

Like this:

if you have the latest winamp (musicmonkey and itunes also support unicode afaik) version you should have unicode support.

RE: [release] Music now playing by Josh_J on 06-19-2007 at 03:40 PM

I was wondering, I recently have looked into that new browser / music player program called Songbird. It uses the same codebase that Mozilla uses in firefox. It's actually a pretty decent program for it not even reaching 1.0 status yet (0.2.5 now). :^) I didn't see any posts about it, so I just thought I'd ask.

You think if I begged enough, you could look into seeing if it could be supported sometime in the future? :P

RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 07-25-2007 at 08:39 PM

I have to post this otherwise I'm going to go mental.
maybe some other people will appreciate my now playing code :)

WMP is now Playing:

(band) Artist: Artist Here if present
(8) Title: Title Here
(cd) Album: Album Here if present
(o) Position: 1:00 / 3:00 [---|---]


If you'd like to have this song just type: !sendsong & I'll send it via normal file transfer, or type: !addtoshared & I'll add it to our sharing folder. To find out what I'm listening to at any time type: !np

(band) and (cd) are custom emoticons I have

RE: [release] Music now playing by TagDaze on 08-03-2007 at 01:11 AM

Small problem;

When I have set the Now Playing Format to:
Now Playing: {artist} - {title} ({length})
it will return
Now Playing: - Bryan Tyler - The Preacher At Arrakeen (2:33) (Note the dash before the artist's name)

whereas if I would set the Now Playing Format to:
Now Playing: {title} ({length})
it will return
Now Playing: Bryan Tyler - The Preacher At Arrakeen (2:33)
as it's supposed to do with the first format. It might have something to do with me using foobar2000 and with the foo_winamp_spam.dll plugin.

Doesn't bother me since the problem is fixed by removing the artist tag, but I feel it's still something worth mentioning.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 08-03-2007 at 01:38 AM

What player are you using? What player do you have the script set-up for?

I used to have this exact same issue when using the WinAmp setting for MediaMonkey, before a player script for MediaMonkey was developed.

EDIT: Duh, if I would have scrolled over, I would have seen you posted what player your using... duh me. So... disregard this post :\

Maybe it has something to do with the WinAmp Plugin/API for foobar as I believe that was the problem with MediaMonkey... iunno though, I'm not the best person to be asking about these kind of things. :\


RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 08-03-2007 at 04:06 AM

That problem is because of the song not having an artist tag hence its set to "" you should use the bbcode ifs for this eg

code:
[if_artist]{artist} - [/if_artist] {title} ({length})


for a full reference of the tags click here http://nowplaying.thedt.net/tags/?lang=en

RE: [release] Music now playing by BobMaster on 08-04-2007 at 02:59 PM

I seem to have a problem with the now playing script, I can configure it just fine and everything, but for some reason it just won't show/work.

Nobody sees what I'm playing on their contact list.
So how exactly do I turn it on?
Using winamp 5.35 btw.

Greetz,
BobMaster

Nope, first thing I checked. It's not the solution to the problem. It does so for every song, whether I use the if_artist tag or not.

for a full reference of the tags click here http://nowplaying.thedt.net/tags/?lang=en

Nope, that's not the problem. It does so for every song.
oh i just noticed that you're using the foobar winamp spam plugin thing :P, it might not implement the method i use to get the artist, hence it falls back to using the method it uses to get the entire title
RE: [release] Music now playing by iyilin on 08-05-2007 at 12:20 PM

I'm using WLM version 8.0.0812.00 with Messenger plus! Live version 4.23.0.276. My iTunes is version 6.0.4.2.

I seem to have a problem with the script. I have set a customized PSM with tags of the artist, song title and length.

Everytime a song finish playing, when the second song starts, instead of displaying the customized PSM, it jumps back to the normal "What I'm Listening To" display.

Example:
instead of displaying "I'm @ iTunes : {artist} - {title} ({length})"
it shows in the format "{title} - {artist}".

It happens randomly; sometimes customized format, sometimes WLM's format.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem? :^)


RE: [release] Music now playing by Slein on 08-16-2007 at 10:32 PM

Why not a {genre} option, that shows... guess what the genre of the song? And also the ability of [if_genre]{genre}[/if_genre] so that when there is no genre entered it won't show anyting...


RE: [release] Music now playing by Slein on 08-16-2007 at 11:07 PM

Ok I just found out:
-That iTunes 7.3 is not supported with the {player} tag (might be only on vista). it shows up as Unknown
-The tag {listpos} not works with iTunes 7.3 (might be only on vista)
-The tag {samplerate is not supported with iTunes 7.3 (might be only on vista)
-The tag {filename} gives the wrong filename with iTunes 7.3 (might be only on vista)
-The comand !sendsong gives the wrong file with iTunes 7.3 (might be only on vista)

Wooo. Fixed my bug regarding sending the song name to mIRC. Thanks.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 08-18-2007 at 09:26 AM

Great to see an update. Some of the new features look real interesting. Though, after the update, the 'Global Hotkey' no longer works in my IM Windows. This may be by design since theres already the "Now Playing" method aswell as "(!WAT)," or it could be a bug. Don't know. Anyway, I'm off to look into more of the features. :)

The attachment says "musicNowplaying(5).plsc" in your post but the Save File dialog for the file still shows "musicNowplaying(2).plsc" thus I think we're still getting the previous version.

Cool, though I think my previous post concerning the "(2)"/"(5)" thing might have actually been something to do with FireFox, as I opened up the page in IE and it correctly loaded "(5)," stange. Anyway, you uploaded in a new post thus the problem doesn't come into effect. Though, a note for anyone reading, if you experience similar issues, try another browser, Lol.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Wally on 08-19-2007 at 01:07 PM

i think theres something wrong with this script when i installed it ,it worked fine now every time i open winamp while signed in to WLM it freezes WLM and slows it down alot but mostly freezes. i made sure it was this script because when i disabled it then ran winamp it worked fine then when  i re enabled it same thing happened i could be wrong but i dont know.


RE: RE: [release] Music now playing by -dt- on 08-20-2007 at 06:10 AM

updated with a new build to test

if theres no problems with this within a few days ill submit it to the scriptdb

RE: [release] Music now playing by DaAfroMan on 08-20-2007 at 06:32 PM

I am a bit picky when is comes to how my DSP is shown. Is it at all possible to make it so JUST the song is highlighted? As an example I want something like:

code:
Predefined text - {artist} - {title}

to show up as, say:

Predefined text - someartist - somesong

How would I do this if it is even possible?

It's not there because you're clicking the wrong button ;)

IIRC, There was a change in one of the recent Plus! versions so now scripts are accessed through a seperate menu, which you get to by clicking the button that looks like 3 boxes (it's to the left of the one you click to bring up the change font window).


Hope this helps :)

RE: [release] Music now playing by odbod on 10-12-2007 at 07:51 AM

I love this script, however, all of a sudden it stopped working. I like to have my PM as (artist) - (song). Obviously, that doesn't work anymore, it does the basic (song) - (artist) no matter what I do! I've tried disabling msn's "show what I'm playing" and the script, as well as the plugin for WMP, and nothing is fixed. Nothing works anymore, !sendsong, etc! I've tried winamp as well, nothing works.

I have even reinstalled messenger and plus, and no go.

RE: [release] Music now playing by TheManWithMSN on 10-15-2007 at 12:43 AM

I've had this script for a while and it hasn't been working. I figured that it's just me but I'm not exactly sure. I use Windows Media Player and I was wondering if anybody else had this problem or if anybody had any suggestions on what to do.


RE: [release] Music now playing by lucied on 10-17-2007 at 04:36 AM

the script still doesn't support unicode (japanese) for WMP.. still appears as
'whatever artist' - '????'  <--- (japanese title)


RE: [release] Music now playing by odbod on 10-18-2007 at 01:15 AM

More info on my problem::::::

I noticed, that, when I double click the song to play (no matter which one), the PM will go to how my PM is set to show the songs (artist-song), but then,  within a second, it'll reverse itself, and all functions are disabled.


RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 10-19-2007 at 08:12 PM

Just to add to some more confusion:

My messenger has been having lots of locking up recently after enabling the display picture album art feature, I use WMP11 on vista ultimate x64

Task Manager shows no CPU or RAM spikes and rest of system is fully functional, messenger doesn't even crash it'll just become un-responsive for a minute or two.

So I tried to turn off the display picture feature, but the nowplaying menu wasn't present on the script button/menu list

I go into preferences and see nowplaying is active, so try to disable and re-enable the script. Part 1 goes fine, re-enabling gives this error.

[Image: attachment.php?pid=856334]

I'm the only account, admin privileges, I do not have UAC active, so it's not permissions (Well yes and no I have it on silent mode, so it automatically accepts without warning me, but still enables the protective features in internet explorer, should I ever user it)

Seems very odd :S

Hi, i love ur script, it really rocks.
Only found 1 little problem with it. It wont get the songtext from metrolyrics.com, no matter what song i try, the only crap i get is:

code:
Audioslave Lyrics - I Am The Highway Lyrics
div id="LinkAdvert">
           
<a href="http://www.cafederingtone.com?ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">*** Complimentary I Am The Highway Ringtone ***</a>

The 2 other sites mentioned in the songtext option screen wont work at all.

Any idea how to resolve this?
Thnx in advance! :)

Done that already. Doesn't work.

The same thing is happening for me. It happened as soon as I updated to the newest version of Windows Live. Perhaps WLM has built in its own Winamp integration now which is messing with Now Playing's control over it? I even tried disabling Now Playing and trying a Winamp plugin (namely Toaster) and that does a similar thing. (edit: that is, the modified personal message is replaced by "title - artist" by WLM after a short while.)

RE: [release] Music now playing by aNILEator on 10-27-2007 at 12:17 AM

Not sure for PSM display but for nowplaying in menu you could add rules like I have in my code a few pages back to display the media type icon.

I can't be bothered right now to type the code you'd need, it's too late and I need sleep but it'd be

if not video display all (but you'd need to use DT's tags eg [!ext=avi][/ext] look them up :)

Hi! Got a problem

I'm using
WLM Build 8.5.1288.816
MPL version: 4.23.0.276
Now Player vesion 1.3.2

After installing WLM 8.5 I cant seem to get the script to work.
When checking the settings for Now Playing I see that it can't finde any Main Player. Not Winamp, not WMP, nothing.

Any suggestions??

No other scripts are active that should interfere and I have reinstalled everything a couple of time, no help.

The script don't work anymore for me.. I start the "What I am listenting to", as useual, but it only shows the psm.. I have checked all the settings, and there is nothing wrong..

I have tried restarting WLM and readding the script, but none of the things worked.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)

My settings don't even work correctly. Ofcourse, the name of the song shows, but, the order of the name and artist, album etc is default song - artist. My laptop does it fine, but my main computer doesn't work it right.

RE: [release] Music now playing by MeEtc on 12-08-2007 at 11:35 PM

I have a bug to report. Its a bit strange, and i have no idea why its happening.

I have the default player set to Winamp. I also play stations from LastFM from time to time (like right now). Winanp is currently stopped. I start playing something in LastFM, and it will display in the PSM, instead of Winamp. I close Winamp, and the PSM reverts to <enter a message blah blah> After switching tracks, the new song info is displayed again (but still with Winamp as the selected player).

When I actually do switch to the LastFM player, it shows something similar to Diagnostics - undefined or undefined - undefined, until the next track is played.

switching back to Winamp again, shows as nothing playing until the track changes in LastFM again.

Did you understand all my gibberish?


RE: [release] Music now playing by DJ_The_SP on 12-09-2007 at 10:15 AM

Hey guys,

I ran into a bug after i updated from 1.3.0 or 1.3.3 (not sure) to version 1.3.4.
My hotkey no longer seems to work!
I've tried changing it as well as reinstalling the script but all to no avail.
It used to work without any problems at all before.
I use Winamp 5.5 for playing music and nothing else.

Im using:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Windows Live Messenger 8.1
Messenger Plus Live 4.23.0.276


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 12-09-2007 at 10:39 AM

Are you by chance trying to use the Global Hotkey in a messenger window? If so, then that's your problem, it no longer works in Messenger Windows, you got the other two options anyway. If your trying another window like Notepad or Firefox for instance, then there might be a problem.

Certain you haven't installed or changed another program that might be using the same hotkey and causing a conflict?

Other then that, I have no ideas.

-dt-, what's new in 1.3.4? Unless the release notes from Markus' screencap is those of 1.3.4, I didn't get an update window even when checking for update from versions 1.3.2, so... *Shrugs*


RE: [release] Music now playing by DJ_The_SP on 12-09-2007 at 10:48 AM

Hmm, you seem to be right...
It works fine in notepad.

I honestly want to keep using the Global Hotkey in a messenger window...so is there any change i can downgrade to 1.3.3 or 1.3.2?
Can i still download those somewhere?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 12-09-2007 at 10:51 AM

If you want to go back to a version that still has this capability, then I believe you would need to go back to 1.3.0, I've been using 1.3.2 since -dt- released it on here as a 'Test' version or whatever and that's when I noticed the change. I even brought it up in this thread at the time.


RE: [release] Music now playing by DJ_The_SP on 12-09-2007 at 12:01 PM

A friend of mine was still able to send me the 1.3.0 version.
Thanks for the quick info though! :)


RE: [release] Music now playing by user13774 on 12-09-2007 at 01:57 PM

Hmm.. I didn't even know Now Playing has a global hotkey function. I always use Winamp Global Hotkeys to copy the song title. :happy:

To set Winamp Global Hotkeys:
Go to Winamp Preferences (Ctrl+P) -> (General Preferences ->) Global Hotkeys

and set a key for 'General: Copy title'

This works in every application or game I know (because it just copies the song title to the Windows clipboard. You have to paste it yourself).

If somebody spams you with !sendsong you send them the file multiple times. Could you limit to one send at all?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Jimbo on 12-15-2007 at 12:11 PM

I use itunes, and when someone types !sendsong it sends them the wrong song, for example i was listening to hum haleluyah by fall out boy, and it send 04 blame canada from southpark soundtrack :S
EDIT: It doesnt work for anysong i try and send when using iTunes :S
EDIT2: It doesnt work with both the !np and the /sendsong commands:S

So change your target path on your shortcut to something like

sorry to bring up such an old post
but, ive done everything correctly (i think..) fb2k shows up in my list of players, when i execute the foobar it runs the COM server, but nothing is showing up in my p(s?)m in msn when i play music.

could the method just be out dated and not working now?

it's an advanced feature that detects (* > shit).

It noticed you were about to send shit so instead it sent one of your many other songs.

Lol haha, that did make me laugh, btu seriosuly why does it send the wrong thing?
RE: [release] Music now playing by bbk on 12-16-2007 at 10:43 PM

Every time I try and import the script WLM encounters a error and shuts off. Then when I open it again it encounters another error, then the second time Messenger Plus said it has disabled the script and I can use WLM normally.


I also use the mess patch.


Whats up with it?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Zaim7890 on 12-17-2007 at 12:53 AM

is it possible to add J river media center to the list so it displays the song names on messenger when listin to music,

would appreciate it alot if u can.

RE: [release] Music now playing by TedoDude on 12-28-2007 at 05:38 PM

Have been having trouble on Vista Ultimate x64 with WMP.

Solution for me was to elevate a command prompt and regsvr32 the wmp9.dll file in the dlls directory, then restart WMP.

If this has been mentioned already... oh well, but I thought I'd let people know in case they are having problems.

I have a problem showing cover art. I use MediaMonkey 3 and sometimes this script doesn't show my art. I don't have the art i the folder, just in the ID3 tag.


RE: [release] Music now playing by ahmetgns on 01-10-2008 at 12:27 PM

Hi, I am using Windows Media Player 11 but this script doesn't show the song. My messenger shows it from directly Windows Media Player but that is the standard look, not this script's special look. I can't format the the now playing with Plus! tags. Also with this script's version which accompanied with Messenger Plus! Live, when I wanted to send the song I was listening on wmp to a contact, it said "wmp isn't installed". But now I have installed latest 1.3.4 version, now it sends "NP   :  [/00:00] [] (Stopped)" although my song is still playing. What is the problem?


RE: [release] Music now playing by SpritHansi on 01-11-2008 at 10:47 AM

I'm having a problem with iTunes.
When I'm playing a song the script displays the Artist / Song / Album and the other things and when the song stops and it goes to a new song it switches back to the ' classic ' display that Msn Live always shows ( title - artist ).

Does anyone knows what it could be?

RE: [release] Music now playing by Thunder708 on 01-29-2008 at 09:50 AM

I never knew that there was a configuration for this, i thought it just detected your song that you were playing and displayed it in your PSM lol.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Eiron on 02-02-2008 at 12:54 AM

There is a problem with this plug-in's interaction with Winamp. It seems to read the track irrespective of whether or not it is actually playing. I had to add [if_status=playing][/if_status] to stop it from displaying a track permanently. Added to this, if you clear the active playlist it causes an exception in Winamp and forces it to close. Any ideas?


RE: [release] Music now playing by mmmbopzombie on 02-03-2008 at 05:55 AM

Hi! I have read almost all answers but I still have a problem.

I have installed the Music Now Playing 1.3.4 script and in preference it says in is installed and activated. However, when I clic the Plus! logo icon in a conversation I don't see anything regarding the scrip to configure it. Morever, when I write /inp it writes "Itunes isn't" and the other person can see this text in conversation.

I'm using...
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.13021018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.50.0.312
iTunes 1.7.60.29

Help!


RE: [release] Music now playing by BrutuZ on 02-03-2008 at 06:03 AM

The Plus! logo button isn't supposed to show anything regarding scripts, the Scripts button (the one with 3 Boxes) is the one that must show the menu with options.


RE: [release] Music now playing by mmmbopzombie on 02-03-2008 at 03:47 PM

Hi! thanks for your reply, however I still have the same problem. I have set script up to show what I listen in Itunes, but when I write /inp I still have the message "Itunes isn't" and this is shown in conversation.

Is there anything else I must do?

Thanks

RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 02-15-2008 at 06:58 AM

Another issue that seems to be occuring, my display picture is set to change to the album, but it does not check my folder for the album art for some reason, because for every song i have the album art but still on some songs it says No Album Art.

RE: [release] Music now playing by gaetano_gatto on 03-09-2008 at 12:24 PM

I've dowloaded and installed 1.3.4 version of Music Now Playing from http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/ .

It's perfectly worked till today...now it shows following mistakes (I've used it in relation with WMP);

-   It works only when WMP is started before than Messenger;

-   With Music:     {title} -  [if_artist]{artist}[/if_artist] [if_album]({album})[/if_album] as setting for PSM, the script shows only 'Music: ' ;

-   When I disable the script, normal Messenger function for showing music playing is off;

PS: I've tried to disinstall and install again the script
      WMP Plug-in for music in Messenger is enabled

:(

..moreover, fast comands as /play or /stop don't work


RE: [release] Music now playing by freshhh on 03-10-2008 at 12:12 AM

Configuration :

Windows XP x64 Pro SP3
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1302.1018
MSN+ 4.50.0.312
WinAMP v5.52
Music Now Playing 1.3.4

Little annoying bugs :

1) The script is not able to retrieve album cover art from the directory if the mp3 file has no tag (artist name, track title AND album title). 
Of course the cover.jpg / folder.jpg is inside the directory. 

2) It adds each album art with my own DP, the list become huge, is it possible to add an option to auto remove album art from my DP list when another album art is loaded?

TY


> Eddie : check if those tracks are tagged because the album title must be entered for the current version of the plugin...

RE: [release] Music now playing by gaetano_gatto on 03-10-2008 at 06:47 PM

..the first and the third problems of mine were only temporary..

but this:  With Music:     {title} -  [if_artist]{artist}[/if_artist] [if_album]({album})[/if_album] as setting for PSM, the script shows only 'Music: ' ; remains, unfortunatly...

practically, the script seems not to recognize tags and condition tags  anymore!!!

where is the bug? damn!

But i don't have any great Now Playing support for it.

Can you make it?

I would have another idea... is there a way to add support for deezer.com? Or could anyone create a script for deezer, like I think to remember one for last.fm...?

1,000 thanks in advance,


RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 03-26-2008 at 02:13 PM

Out of general curiosity is -dt- doing any further work on this script, as i haven't seen him reply to any posts in quite a while :S

Thanks

Btw, sorry if this has been asked before, too lazy to search a 26-page thread [Image: msn_tongue.gif]
its due to the artist tag being empty, just do [if_artist]{artist} - [/if_artist] {title}

whats the name of the album art image? (im also looking into extracting album art from the song)
RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 03-26-2008 at 03:00 PM

Sorry i do not understand what you mean there, you may have misunderstood what i said...

i have the option set for it to use album art in display pictures, but on 80% of my songs it does not provide album art, where as i have the album art as it works in Winamp and iTunes.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Thunder708 on 03-26-2008 at 03:03 PM

is there an error with your script, i have tried to use the send to website function and i have had help from my bro with the scripting and setting up the data base to display the song but all i get displayed on my page is '- -'

any help?


RE: [release] Music now playing by freshhh on 03-26-2008 at 08:34 PM


anyone can tell me if there is a way to add ability to remove album art from DP after a track has been played?  because ive plenty covers now in the list and many duplicates...

RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 04-01-2008 at 12:43 PM

I have a bug report!

[Image: WLM%20-%20Failure%20by%20toast.png]

Here's what I did. Lets see if any of you can recreate this.
Step 1) Set your PSM to the following

code:
[if_ext=mp3][if_artist]{artist} - [/if_artist]{title} [if_album][[/if_album]{album}[if_year] ({year})[/if_year][if_album]][/if_album][/if_ext]

Step 2)
  • Make sure WLM is off.
  • Now make a playlist with the first song as a video.
  • Others can be mp3s.
  • Play the video.
  • Stop it.
  • Close Winamp.

Step 3) Start WLM.

Step 4) Start Winamp.

Do you get a toast like the one in the pic above? Firstly I shouldn't get a toast because I didn't start playing. This is most probably a mNP bug so that's why its here. Else this post can be moved to an appropriate thread after dt has read it :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by Brentmeister on 04-05-2008 at 09:42 PM

Since I updated to Messenger Plus 4.60 my Now Playing script stopped working. It keeps given errors on the following line in main.js:

code:
globalScope[x[1]] = eval(x[1]);

"This property or method is not supported by this object". I can't figure out what's wrong with it. My version info:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.60.0.324
RE: [release] Music now playing by Brentmeister on 04-05-2008 at 09:50 PM

Well apparently there wás a new version of Now Playing but my 1.3.0 version told me there where no updates. The code in my previous post has, as I suspected, been replaced with a call to LoadScriptFile. Now it is working.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Fists on 04-11-2008 at 07:07 AM

where is it getting the images for now playing album art? out of the 6 I have seen so far one has been right and I haven't recognised any of the pictures or been able to find them on the net by searching for stuff to do with the song that was actualy on.
Im using iTunes.


RE: [release] Music now playing by gomezcompacto on 04-11-2008 at 04:51 PM

hi, I use winamp 5.53 pro & WLM 8.1 with messenger plus and now playing 1.3.4 - the only problem is with the albums cover art, when i play a song appears in the WLM the picture of the folder were the song is, but i have each song (file) has included ID3V2 TAG with their own cover art, thats the one i wanna use, tell me the steps to fix it or now playing 1.3.4 have to be upgrade


RE: [release] Music now playing by Fists on 04-14-2008 at 12:57 AM

The now playing album art is working now (mostly) but if there was some sort of last.fm (www.last.fm) plugin that would be awesome, it would take care of almost all images


RE: [release] Music now playing by maicasajusta on 04-15-2008 at 10:46 PM

hi, can somebody tell me if there's a way to d'load older release of this script? 'cause I'm having some problems with 1.3.4 (using live messenger 8.5.1302.1018), I mean...when I install the script, I set winamp as default player, but no way to see what I'm listening to. Now I'm using the apatch plugin for winamp and it works well, but I'd like to use all the features that this scripts offer. so, if somebody can help in any way, I will appreciate.

Thanks, Marco.


Music Now Playing Problem with Winamp by Phat on 04-19-2008 at 07:02 PM

Hey all, recently I've updated to 1.3.4 and started to use it again. However, in Winamp it shows ??? for all asian words(jp,kr,cn). I've tried with itunes and it shows it fine but the artist and song is switched. I hate itunes since it always shits itself for no reason and was wondering if the Now Playing option ever had asian support for winamp and is there a fix for it?

Thanks :)

RE: [release] Music now playing by BrutuZ on 05-03-2008 at 03:07 AM

I'd like to sugest a little change in the code, on main.js, line 385 could be changed to: ?

code:
if(origin.indexOf(Messenger.MyName) == -1){

I say it because i use StuffPlug's clock on the messages, and then Plus! thinks someone else sent the message
RE: [release] Music now playing by Silver_mal on 05-06-2008 at 08:06 PM

Can't wait for an implementation of embedded Album art in ID3V2 Tag!


RE: [release] Music now playing by tungmeister on 05-26-2008 at 12:48 PM

i used to use this script last year but after i upgraded my comp i didnt reinstall it, just reinstalled it today and i'm having several problems with it. 

The album art it displays never corresponds to what i'm listening to, it just shows some random album art, and if i try to activate the personal message updater it just locks all of msn and i'm forced to kill it from task manager

i'm running vista 6001
itunes 7.6.2.9
live messenger 8.5.1302.1018
messenger plus 4.60.0.324

any help would be appriciated, cheers


RE: [release] Music now playing by joey on 05-26-2008 at 01:11 PM

from previous experience and a chat with dt, dont use itunes :P

ive switched to winamp, which is also supported and doesnt freeze wlm, which itunes used to do.


RE: [release] Music now playing by tungmeister on 05-26-2008 at 11:13 PM

when i had it installed on my last pc it worked perfectly, oh well


RE: [release] Music now playing by firsh on 05-29-2008 at 06:24 PM

hi

It seems like WLM recognizes what I'm listening without this script too. I  uninstalled the winamp plugin for it but WLM still gets the artist - title. Afaik by default, WLM can't know what I'm listening in winamp, only WMP. I need this script to customize the format but it only rarely works. It looks like it wants to overtake the default nowplaying, sometimes I see the customized PSM, sometimes the default formatting. Also, when starting a new song i see the default for 1 sec, then comes the customized. What is causing this? I'd like this script as the only connection between WLM and Winamp is that possible, or am I missing a point?

thx


RE: [release] Music now playing by mynetx on 05-29-2008 at 07:21 PM

Hello firsh,

this is indeed possible. There are two possibilities how Windows Live Messenger can get notified of your current Winamp Media despite the fact that you disabled the Music Now Playing script:

  1. Are you using the official Last.fm Client Software with enabled Live Messenger Extension?
  2. Did you install some Winamp Plugin for Messenger ("gen_msn" / "MessengerAmp")?

RE: RE: [release] Music now playing by firsh on 05-29-2008 at 08:40 PM

hi mynetx,

The last.fm software was it!
I just couldn't figure it out :)

thank you


RE: [release] Music now playing by mynetx on 05-29-2008 at 08:53 PM

You can disable the Messenger integration here:

RE: [release] Music now playing by dexluther on 06-06-2008 at 03:43 AM

I'm having a problem with this script... I doesn't work. Other than what I'm listening to appearing in my PSM this script does nothing. Well WLM can display what I'm listening to in WMP by default anyways, so this script is doing absolutely nothing.

I had gotten it to work somehow before I reformatted my computer. I had to enable some plug-in called "True launch bar remote control" or something like that. I never knew where it came from, so I assumed it was installed by the script or something. It made sense since the script didn't work without it.

Now I just got finished reformatting my computer and wanted to reinstall this script, but to my not so surprise I'm having the same problem I had the first time. The script does nothing!

Naturally, the first thing I checked was to enable the "True launch bar remote control" plug-in in WMP, but it wasn't there.

Long story short:

What gives? Does this script require that particular plug-in to work or something? If so, then why doesn't it come with it or at least why isn't there a note about it in the description? Where do I download this plug-in?

WLM: 8.5.1302
Plus: 4.60
WMP: 11

Yes, I believe it requires that plug-in and as far as I know, it is accompanied with the script. Because once upon a time, I couldn't see that plugin in my wmp although script was in my C:\...\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts folder, then I reimported the script and it added that wmp plugin "True launch bar..." to my wmp. then it started to work. I suggest you to remove the script and then reimport it.

Thanks. I removed and re-intstalled the plug-in a few times and it eventually gave me a message saying it successfully registered wmp9.dll

For future reference, would it be possible to simply manually register the .dll or does it also install registry keys in the process or something that would cause using regsvr32 to not fix the problem?

I don't know if this script is still being worked on or if he takes suggestions/requests, but I'll throw it out there anyways. I love the script (when I finally get it to work lol), but I find it annoying to have my display picture change to show the album art. However, other people that use my computer love that feature. It's a little annoying to have to keep switching the option not to mention frustrating when you log on and have your DP changed and then have to go turn off the option and turn off the option.

My suggestion/request would be if it's possible to have it remember remember settings of each email address or something like that.

All I can say is, people have lives my friend. He certainly has one himself.
Try going through college, giving exams, working everyday and working on your personal projects and chatting with friends if you have the time. After all of that, asking someone to check up the forum and his email to respond to 20+ queries about his script and work is a bit too much to ask of a person.
Of course, I'm just speculating about the numbers but I'm sure he's really busy when he starts spending only about an hour or two online everyday :P

Try configuring the feed properly. Check your options to see if you have selected either Metro Lyrics or the other one. If you have, go on the site and see if you still get garbage results. If you do, its the site's fault.
If not, try reinstalling the script (redownload the reinstall) and failing that, comment here again to tell me. I'll think of something :)
RE: [release] Music now playing by freshhh on 06-13-2008 at 09:30 PM

still no suggestion to remove automatically covers albums added in diplay pictures after the song/album has been played? if not, what plugin/addon can manage them? 

TY

as far as I know, none (but don't take my word for it).

It is not impossible to make it, but I can imagine it is hard.

Messenger automatically converts and adds all the pictures you add in his own internal cache database. But they are not added with their original file name or something, they are added with a hash.

This means that a plugin/addon first needs to find out what the hash is which Messenger used for that particular display picture (and you can't base that on the original raw data of the image itself since Messenger often converts/resizes that original image).

After that, the plugin/addon needs to manually remove the cached image from your harddisk (easy enough to do), and update the internal DP database of Messenger properly without screwing other things up (not so easy to do)

Thus, all in all, not impossible, but troublesome and not so straightforward I think.

RE: [release] Music now playing by freshhh on 06-14-2008 at 01:08 PM


thanks a lot for the clear &  complete answer CookieRevised, i know understand more the difficulty to add this feature... 

hope someone will find a workaround... 

in the meantime, could you suggest an addon / plugin to manage DP (add/remove them easily ideally with a pictures preview panel). i had something like that one year ago but I lost it... 

thanks


RE: [release] Music now playing by uw11 on 06-19-2008 at 09:26 PM

I have a similar problem as one posted before (on page 56). I have set the personal PSM, but sometimes it only shows the simple now playing crap, and not what I set it to show :/ And I don't have last.fm program installed..
Even the 1 second problem occurs too. When I start a song, it appears properly, and suddenly changes back to default..
What could be the problem?
I have XP_SP2, Winamp 5.531, WLM 8.5 + Plus + Stuffplug + Discovery


RE: [release] Music now playing by BrutuZ on 06-19-2008 at 10:49 PM

uw11, do you have any plugins IN WINAMP to set the PM/NowPlaying on WLM, like toaster, MessengerAmp, gen_np or similars. If you do, then disable it, they conflict with this script


RE: RE: RE: [release] Music now playing by alloeides on 06-20-2008 at 06:39 AM

hi. i'm from greece and i don't speak engluish very well but i'll try to discribe my problem... well, i downloaded true launch bar, i reimport wpl9.dll in scripting and it works only in {tittle} comand. can you help me?


RE: [release] Music now playing by freshhh on 07-04-2008 at 11:41 PM


i wonder if this is possible to use the ability of this plugin to auto remove the DP when the song has been played... 

/DPCDelete
Delete your current display picture from your rotation list. The user is asked whether the display picture should also be removed from the filesystem or not. If it is not removed from the filesystem, it will be added to your rotation list again after the script restarts.

RE: [release] Music now playing by BrutuZ on 07-05-2008 at 12:28 AM

I'm not sure, but i think this "Rotation List" is not the DP list from WLM, it may be some file that lists possible DPs for the plugin to use, maybe a XML or TXT file.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 07-09-2008 at 03:54 PM

-dt- has already stated before that he won't make the Bar work in PSMs due to PSM flooding, cause it would create far to many changes to the PSM.

RE: [release] Music now playing by pstevek on 07-15-2008 at 11:30 AM

Hi Guys.
I recently downloaded this script(Version 1.3.4) and i have the following problem with the script : I can't have it change my Display Picture to the Album Art corresponding to the song that i am playing. I am using Windows Media Player 11 on a Vista Ultimate O.S.
However when i change the script configuration Main Player to Winamp and use Winamp it seems to work as it shows different album art for different songs that i am using.
I really prefer WMP and nearly all my songs have corresponding album arts.
It keeps showing the No Album Art picture. PLEASE guys how can i resolve this issue ?

Thanks,

Steve.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 08-07-2008 at 11:06 AM

When using iTunes, the script picks up the wrong cover art, it gets the art from random files :S


RE: [release] Music now playing by simonlange on 08-12-2008 at 07:59 PM

got version 1.3.4 (MSN LIVE 8.5.1302.1018; Plus 4.60.0.326) and it does not work at all.
maximum (stopped) is into the status line.

but even that is not refreshed!

it does not matter what i play with WMP, it never shows.
I got no errors and nothing.

I have installed WMP (becoz of vista ultimate x64 sp1) and iTunes bcoz of my iphone.

anyone?

Simon


RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 08-17-2008 at 02:34 PM

When loading Messenger after installing Music Now Playing, My Windows Live Messenger continually freezes until i manually delete the Now Playing Script from the folder, any ideas?


RE: [release] Music now playing by JSFidler on 08-18-2008 at 03:30 AM

Ok, so it's like this...

I used to use a different MSN Now Playing script, like "Now Playing Script by MJ" or something along those lines. I can no longer find this script after a very recent reformat. It now looks like this is the only WMP Now Playing script going. I like it, it's all good other than one thing. When you stop a song, is there anyway to have the song not show up in the PM bar? I can listen to a song, and 10 minutes after I've stopped playing it, it still shows me as listening to it. The standard Now Playing script that comes custom with WMP stops showing the song once it's stopped, can this script not do the same? I would just use the custom WMP Now Playing script, but then you can only have song title and album artist, which is pretty lame. I want a mix between the extended information and the song not showing once it's stopped like I had with the old script, is there a way to do that with this script, if not, can anyone recommend a script where I can do this?

Thanks.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Eddie on 08-19-2008 at 01:04 AM

Does the owner of this script actually ever read this post? If not, anyone know of a fix too..

RE: [release] Music now playing by rpk on 08-29-2008 at 01:59 PM

I have installed this script, running on Vista Home Premium(SP1) and a, using iTunes. Whenever I try to display what I'm playing, it just sends "iTunes isnt ".

Any ideas?


RE: [release] Music now playing by joey on 09-08-2008 at 08:29 AM

using lastfm, and setting the script to say im using the lastfm player, the music track is shown in my psm, but typing "/np" or "/lnp" and i get "Lastfm isnt running".

this obviously isnt right, as it is playing and i can clearly see what is being played in my psm. =/

Messenger Plus! Live 4.70.0.334
Now Playing 1.3.4

RE: [release] Music now playing by murko on 10-11-2008 at 09:55 PM

I use this plugin (now playing 1.3.4) and I have 2 questions

1. The NP in LIVE is clickable, and always go to www.live.com/...........

Is this somehow editable so I can make it for example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=sv&q={artist}+{title}

(where {artist} {title} ofcourse are name of artist and name of title) ?

2. the plugin within the Now Playing called SEND TO WEBSITE 1.0.. Is there maybe a tutorial on that one? The short information text on the pupup menu system within is just very small for a dumba$$ like myself 0)


Best wishes
/Michael

Hi

How can I get the {bar} and the {elapsed} tags to update in my PM?

I use these settings:
[if_artist]{artist} - [/if_artist]{title} [{elapsed}/{length}] [{bar}] {status} {player}


RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 10-26-2008 at 08:48 PM

You can't. -dt- has disabled the updating of these tags to prevent PSM Flooding your contacts.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Påle on 10-29-2008 at 01:43 PM

Winamp:

When the song is stopped my PM i changed back to normal. Why don't it say 'stopped' in {status} instead?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Scizz on 11-01-2008 at 01:17 PM

Doesn't seem to be compatible with the newest Mediamonkey version.
Whenever the hotkey to send the played song is pressed the script locks up all WLM windows, making it unaccessible.
Same with PSM changing.

Edit: Okay, it works with "GuessPlayer", but not with MediaMonkey directly selected.
Yet with GuessPlayer the hotkey doesn't seem to work.

i stopped using this ages ago and stopped going on threads ages ago..i use lastfm plugin now, works a lot better, it does what i want it to do, which is upload my playlist to webserver without having to mess around with much coding or scripting....i wold recommend last fm to all thos people who are finding it a bit of a struggle with this script

http://www.last.fm sign up there
http://www.last.fm/download - thats link to download plugin if you cannot find it after registration

im not knocking this script at all, i just find using last fm easier for me.

keep using this script if you like or get last.fm plugin if you want an easier approach

Would it be possible to implement a Last.fm scrobbler :p? Not sure if it was requested before (didn't check) but I know there is plugins for Winamp itself, but with this script itself accepting a variety of players that do not have Last.Fm Scrobblers...it could be good :p
RE: [release] Music now playing by alpinedigital on 01-18-2009 at 11:34 AM

ALSong is awesome, has its own lyrics database, small like winamp, has taskbar player like WMP. I think this is worthy of adding to this great script. I think this is one of my favorite scripts of all but Im totally devoted to ALSong now. There's simply no reason to use anything else! (Y)

I'm not sure what the problem was for you, but it's worked fine (up until WLM2009) with MediaMonkey selected. That was with MM2.5, MM3.0 and now the MM3.1 test builds.

probably because you don't have your own contact in the contact list, or you don't have any contact using this script... the current song is correctly displayed in psm and in the conversation window, but not in the contact list.

People should be a bit more considerate towards script developers and skinners. Contributing to the community gives them nothing. They do it in their free time and this should be respected. So when they are busy IRL, you shouldn't really push them.
If it really irks you that much, you could edit scripts yourself :P I mean, you *can* see the source. gogogo :P

I'm just saying this on behalf of every scripter and skinner not just on this community, but for every community out there. Those of us who know how much work this takes, appreciate it. People have lives. Start writing code yourself or live with it. :)

I agree. If people want it so bad do it themselves. If they don't know how well then I suppose learn, or wait. As stated these people do this for free, and I'd never do it for a bunch of whiners so he's obviously a lot nicer then I'd ever be. So the moral of the story is wait, it's not as if you will die if your music does not display in your contact list even so you can use A-patch to have it be shown for the time being. Just disable the "PSM" option on now playing and you can still use it's other features. At least with Winamp I don't use any other player so I don't know.

It is visible for the 8.5 users. WLM 2009 in the contactlist ONLY shows the "artist" and "title" params instead of the "format" param.

The format param will be useless once 8.5 gets force-updated.

RE: [release] Music now playing by FineWolf on 02-05-2009 at 06:53 PM

For those wanting a quick fix for WLM9, change line 237 of main.js to:

code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} - {1}", player.CurrentTrack().Title, player.CurrentTrack().Artist);

Note that this doesn't allow for custom formatting and just displays the default following:

Title - Artist

RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 02-06-2009 at 02:38 AM

Your problem seems to be something other than this fix, because with or without this fix, it should be showing up at the top if it's set up properly. The "bug" only effects it showing up in the contact list.

I've made the change in my script (though I altered it to show Artist - Title), and it's been working fine.

Only trouble I've seen, it no longer removes the song when you've got it paused for a long period of time (with MediaMonkey at least) as I've had my player paused for at least an hour and a half and it's still showing the song I was listening to in the Contact List and up at the top. I can't remember if it was doing this before the script change, but that's because I had PSM disabled since it didn't work.

Perhaps you need to chech the options in the script to make sure you have it set up for Winamp?

hey i was wondering why when i type in /wnp the script displays
NP  :  [/00:00] [] (Stopped)
instead of the song that is playing in WMP


RE: [release] Music now playing by Assmonkey on 02-19-2009 at 11:33 AM

Great little script this is! Just two minor annoyances.

1. I'm sure this is quite easy to do by editing some of the files but alas, I'm not a coder.
When I disable showing what I am playing on WLM, the display picture will still change to the album art of what I am listening to. How do I disable that?

2. If there's no album art in the album folder, seems it will fetch the cover from somewhere else (amazon maybe)? Any way to disable this?

Thanks in advance. :)


RE: [release] Music now playing by John Anderton on 02-21-2009 at 07:22 AM

On the topic of album arts, I wish it would read the album arts embedded in the files 'cause I got iArt embed all my music with the album art and lyrics so it looks better on my iPod :)

If needed, I could write a dll to provide the images and lyrics which are enabled in the file, if of course dt wants to use these in the script.

Or, I could just make a plugin type thing for mNP, I believe dt made that interface well over a year ago. If I can do so, I'll put it up here :)

I guess that shouldn't happen. I doubt dt meant that to be a feature. A simple if should fix that (I think; I've not MP! scripted in years), if I ever get around to it :P
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 02-22-2009 at 07:16 PM

Disabling "Show what I'm listening to" in WLM only affects the PSM, just the same as it would if you were using a plugin such as the built in WMP one. With this option disabled, the other features of this script, such as "Send Song" or "(!WAT)", "/mnp" etc still work. The "Show what I'm listening to" isn't a global on/off switch for this script, nor do I think it should be.


RE: [release] Music now playing by jpsfs on 03-11-2009 at 10:08 PM

Hi!

Alow me to thank you the great work you have done with this script. :D

But, (there is always a but), as you know it doesn't work properly in WLM9. Do you have an estimate date for a new release?

Thank in advance.

RE: [release] Music now playing by skai123 on 03-21-2009 at 04:28 AM

i edited the code abit from what the other poster used.

at line 237 in main.js

code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} {1}", parseSongFormat(player,playerName,format));

this works for me with the extra stuff i added like i used to have in wlm 8

eg - "Is Listening to : 'artist' - 'title' ['length']"

but now there is just extra spaces and an extra dash at the end..
eg-
"Is Listening to :    'artist'    -     'title'     ['length']-"


ok i figure out why there was extra spaces, it was because i used [b] and [i] which doesnt work...

not sure why there's a dash at the end tho...
RE: [release] Music now playing by MeEtc on 03-21-2009 at 05:05 AM

I posted in another thread some more technical information as to whats going on with WLM 2009 and Music Now Playing.
MeEtc's reply to Now Playing not displayed

The actual reason for this bug is due to the custom formatting used by Music Now Playing for the raw PSM value
A normal PSM value sent by WMP looks something like this:
code:
WMP\0Music\01\0{0} - {1}\0T.N.T.\0AC\0Bacobens Rock Top 500\0\0
Where "\0" represents a NUL character.
Splitting these values into an array with their meanings results in something like this:
code:
[0]Player
[1]Media type [Music|Games|Office]
[2]Enable bit (Show what I'm listening to is checked)
[3]PSM string formatting
[4]song name {0}
[5]Artist {1}
[6]Album {2}
[7]some ID string {3}

WLM 8.5 and lower will use the value of [3] to determine how the PSM is shown inside the client. In WLM 14, this was changed so now only the default format of "{0} - {1}" Is used, and ignores the formatting string altogether.

Now here's where dt's Music now Playing comes in. MNP because it can show more than song artist and album, can't use these 3 fields alone. Instead, the whole thing is written as the format instead.
Here's an example:
code:
\0Music\01\0AC/DC - T.N.T. (03:34)\0\0\0\0\0
So in fact WLM 14 is showing the "What I'm Listening to" properly, its showing"<song> - <artist>" which if you're using MNP results in " - "

What it should do is update the media string with the proper artist and album filled in so that it will still display in the contact list. Then it will display the custom string in the convo window.

Edit: Looks like the change needs to happen on line 237 of main.js, I'll see what I can do.
Edit2:
Change near line 237 from
js code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", parseSongFormat(player, playerName, format));
to
js code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", parseSongFormat(player, playerName, format), parseSongFormat(player, playerName, "{title}"), parseSongFormat(player, playerName, "{artist}"));
I'll get in touch with dt and see if I can get him to add it to the official version.

RE: [release] Music now playing by murko on 05-22-2009 at 10:55 PM

Just a quick (maybe non -related) question! When I use Spotify I also get the onfo on MSN what I am listening to and I wonder where that info comes from or get parsed?

Since when I use winamp I get the [artist - title] - [album], but when using Spotify I only get [artist - title] in MSN, and AFAIK I have never set any preferences for Spotify! Where/how  (if any place) can I also include the album-info on my Spotify-listenings? If this has nothing to do with THIS script, maybe someone knows what makes it work in the first place? =)

Currently (i.e. before you change the code like Baggins suggested) WLM 2009 users won't see what you're listening to in their contact lists, just like you can't in your own list. However they will be able to see it in your conversation window, with colors etc. too. After you change the code, contact list will show the song too, but without formatting.
RE: [release] Music now playing by Mizery_Made on 06-25-2009 at 07:44 PM

Thank you, Baggins, for offering up a fix. Still doesn't return this script to functioning like it used to though. :( Maybe one of these days...

If there is ever a new version of the script released, you will probably get an update automatically (as will all other users).

In that case, feel free to download the script, install it and check it out. If you have any problems do not hesitate to post in this thread :)

RE: [release] Music now playing by Shiny Rabbit on 10-27-2009 at 08:31 AM

Alright, it's been a month since Shiny asked and no one has replied, so I'm going to post here as well.

This script has been the only one I used for a few years, it's always been the best way to manage Winamp Now Playing support for WLM. Especially the way you can reorganize the different tags that are used in the Now Playing section in WLM is phenomenal!

Now, it's been a while since I could use this, because Winamp support, for some reason, doesn't work anymore. I've had to switch to a crappy solution through a Winamp plugin, and I'd love to have this script work again instead!

Are there any plans to fix this? I noticed the last update to this script was back in 2007, so it might be time to fix it up to work perfectly with the newest generation WLM and Winamp. What I was wondering is, does -dt- actually know it's broken? If not I could also try PM'ing him about this, but I figured I'd try it this way first :).

Thanks in advance guys :).
RE: [release] Music now playing by Crazed on 11-28-2009 at 06:17 PM

Hey guys, please forgive me if this has already been answered, but is there any advice for getting Now Playing to work on Windows 7 (64 bit) with WMP 12? I always get a blank when I do /wnp.

Thanks!


RE: [release] Music now playing by ps-gunkie on 11-29-2009 at 01:13 AM

WMP support is already available by default. Make sure it is enabled in WLM and the plugin for it in WMP is also enabled.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Crazed on 11-29-2009 at 01:43 AM

It's enabled in WLM and in WMP I have the Music plugin and the True Launch Bar Remote Control plugins... and still it doesn't work.


RE: [release] Music now playing by ps-gunkie on 11-29-2009 at 10:34 AM

Is the Music now playing script set to use WLM as its source? If you have the script installed you have to tell it to which player it has to listen.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Crazed on 11-30-2009 at 04:45 AM

Yeah, as far as I can tell all that is configured correctly.


RE: [release] Music now playing by murko on 12-03-2009 at 11:16 PM

I have read, and read, and cant figure out if ppl get the latest version to work with latest version WLM 2009 or not .......

Mine works in my own status, but if I add myself just to check, the "now playing status" only shows up either for just a second, then blank, or just with the "note-sign" telling me that something is playing, but not anything else.........


Any suggestions on what to do?


RE: [release] Music now playing by ps-gunkie on 12-04-2009 at 06:58 PM

It works, but not 100%.

Well for me its 100% failure and always in the same mode aswell!

1 start playlist!
2. Output shos as artist - title for about 1-3 seconds, then just leave the "note-icon -"
3. Song change, and 1-3 second flicker in output, then again back to just showing "note-icon -"

4. Only way to actually get the output now, is to manually press PLAY one more time, restarting the song....
5. if 4 dont work, retry 4
6. if 5 dont work, retry 4
7. Havent gotten this far yet cause I often get it to work on #4 - #6:) But on the next song change we are back to number 3 again

So saying it works but not 100% is really really really pulling the thruth as far as its possible :D
problem with the "Now Playing (1.3.4)" script by bman64 on 12-04-2009 at 07:58 PM

with this script it says it can show music playing in windows media player, winamp and itunes. The actual problem is when i have installed this add-on it disables everything on windows messenger, I cannot click on anything or type anything! Is there anyway to fix this?

cheers, bman64

RE: [release] Music now playing by PrinceOfRomance on 12-31-2009 at 02:10 PM

Disregard everything I posted before.

I asked a few friends if they could see what I was listening to, and everyone said yes. apparently, its only if you add yourself you can't see the music, Everything works great and correct now.
For those of you that have added yourself.. its just that one spot that doesn't display. if not. kill your computer =] cuz mine works...and i have vista... after editing the code as skii321 said. at line 237.

the other option also worked as well,(better) but they both actually work the same.. mind a few spaces =p

thanks everyone

edit: I think its ONLY one part in line 237 that needed changing, as said before the values are different in each version of the media player. so Perhaps instead of trying to fix anything, just create a Duplicate script to work with other media players version.
(I use winamp now, because WMP just doesnt shuffle for me at all.. and thats with 4500+ songs=])
all of your help has been appreciated, and I have tested all suggestions made. and all work. except for the (adding yourself and it not displaying correctly) it works fine. thanks again


RE: [release] Music now playing by psycho_maniac on 01-22-2010 at 07:40 AM

i cannot get the fix to work. to changing line 237 :( anybody know how to actually do this? i edited it with msgplus and copied and pasted it into there, saved, closed msn messenger, opened it set to show what im listening to but no go. all i freaking want is
artist - title
here is a screenshot
you can see it shows it looking correcly in TWO spots but not where it really matters

[Image: Capture-msn-nowplaying.JPG]
edit: just to clarify

you can see it in the toast and in my personal display message but, i added myself in my msn messenger window as "Jerry F***ing La.., in the messenger window it does not show up. i even did the FIX.


RE: [release] Music now playing by Shiny Rabbit on 01-26-2010 at 02:47 PM

if you add yourself you won't see it on your own account, however, others will, look at this screenshot to see what I mean, when I took the screenshot I was listening to Meruto (Melt)

RE: [release] Music now playing by Sista K on 03-01-2010 at 10:36 PM

Hi !

I updated recently from Windows 2000 to 7, and so from MSN 7.0 to the latest versions of WLM, Plus! and Winamp, so I'm not really familiar with the scripts...

I downloaded it, it said that the installation was successful, but when I try to configure it and find 'Now playing' in the menu under the Plus! logo in a conversation window as it says on the script's page, I just don't see it... I searched elsewhere but still didn't find it...

Am I blind or is there some sort of incompatibility with new releases ?


RE: [release] Music now playing by ahmetgns on 03-01-2010 at 10:55 PM

Hi, welcome,

The script's page is a bit out of date. Now the way to access menus of scripts is through scripts icon on both contact list or conversation windows: [Image: icon_scripts_small.gif]

It correctly splits the fields, as inputting only {Artist} or {Title} correctly shows to the parts as they should, but each (as well as "{Artist} - {Title}") results in the " - " at the end. That's with MediaMonkey as the player (perhaps it's player specific? Though, the other fix I was using seemed to work, but it was hard coded)

yeah there's an extra "-" at the end, I don't know why it's there, but i can live with it being there. lol

/sendsong suddenly stopped working, /np is working, and the /sendsong command is present on the commands list when i write a / but when i use it it says that its an unknown command.
I tried to send the song without the command (through the conversation window, scripts, now playing menu) but when i press it it does nothing :S
any suggestions?
tried restarting msn, winamp, reinstalling plus, the plugin. im out of ideas as of now :/

it was working a few days ago and i didnt do anything in particular since then

I don't suppose anyone has managed to make foobar2000 work with this script yet?


RE: [release] Music now playing by Shiny Rabbit on 10-30-2010 at 04:46 PM

I don't know if this has been reported already but for MediaMonkey, the /np seems to use the Winamp detection (which when using MM only shows artist - title and doesn't display unicode) however, when a contact uses the !np remote command, it detects it properly with MediaMonkey as shown in this picture here:

edit: didn't realise it was /Mnp to make it show MediaMonkey now playing


Also, there's a plugin for Foobar2000 that allows it to load Winamp scripts which allows this script to detect what's playing, that's what my friend is using.

I don't even see the icon anywhere to open it O.o


RE: [release] Music now playing by Shiny Rabbit on 02-01-2011 at 09:43 AM

doesn't work with the beta of MediaMonkey 4 (tested on Win XP and Win 7)

update: got it to work somehow with MM4 but after reboot, it doesn't detect MM to be running

update 2: it only works when I have the MediaMonkey folder open

RE: [release] Music now playing by Amec on 02-09-2011 at 07:59 PM

So, I noticed that a few people asked for foobar2000 support. While you can use a Winamp window emulator for foobar2000, this doesn't support unicode etc. Many moons ago, I wrote a plugin for it. It's not perfect, but I'll share anyway.

Also, it uses COM, not Interop.Call. >_>
