iTunes+ by kth6 on 07-30-2006 at 11:45 AM
Well, i am just asking if this is something to do with my pc. Whenever i click the plus icon in WLM, iTunes would run by itself. Is this part of the cript for iTunes+.

It shouldn't, but try getting the latest beta and see if it fixes your problem. It may well be something I've fixed. If problem continues, let me know.

Let me guess: the script is creating an ActiveX Object to interact with iTunes. And, when it isn't running, creating the object causes it to run.
It's a similar symptom to the random appearences of Windows Messenger from yesteryear.
RE: iTunes+ by kth6 on 08-01-2006 at 11:55 AM
so is there a way to fix it.
RE: iTunes+ by RaceProUK on 08-01-2006 at 11:57 AM
None that I can think of as yet, as I'm not sure if scripts can search for existing instances of ActiveX Objects. I know it's possible in C/C++, so you may need to use a DLL.

Nah, I believe the way he did it, first look if iTunes is running after that create the activexobject.

Messenger used to have a bug where if you had the Now Playing option on it would restart iTunes each time you closed it. Not sure if it is fixed, but it was very annoying

Why not Enum the processes and check for iTunes.exe?
If it is running then create the activexobject if it isn't then dont create it.

Ooh, interesting point: do you have MultiPlugin installed? It's this addon thingy for iTunes and it seems to occasionally cause iTunes+ problems in finding iTunes, particularly if you have the option that changes the window title on.

Tried, doesn't seem to be the case.
