Music Now Playing not showing in psm by Baggins on 11-06-2006 at 10:12 PM

What do i have to do to get it to show what is playing in my psm?

RE: Music Now Playing not showing in psm by DarkMe on 11-06-2006 at 10:14 PM

if you're on wmp only tick the box in options "show song info from wmp..."
and enable the plug in in wmp
if you're on another player you must install a plug in to show it

iTunes will show up normally as Music status without the need for any additional plugins. There may be a problem with MNP.

Make sure you have the latest version of windows media player, has to be at least version 9. Currently version 11 is out, so do a google search!

WMP 11 isn't 'Out', it's a beta build. :P

looks 'out' to me.

With iTunes, all you should have to do is click the arrow next to your PSM and check "Show what I'm listening to", you don't need WMP or any scripts for that.

Um, Windows Media Player 11 has been released out of beta.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/ - you should see 11.

EDIT:  beaten on the "don't be a smart ass unless you're actually right" comment by eljay. :P

I had this problem once i repaired the wlm files and itunes and it worked again try that it might work

RE: Music Now Playing not showing in psm by Baggins on 11-11-2006 at 12:48 AM

Is there some button I need to press to make it show?

RE: Music Now Playing not showing in psm by phalanxii on 11-11-2006 at 01:36 AM

Have you enabled Now Playing in Messenger?

1. Open the contact list.
2. Click the arrow next to your personal message.
3. Make sure there is a tick next to Turn on "What I'm Listening To".

If that's not the problem then I don't know how to help you. I don't use iTunes, but I think it does it automatically.
