"now playing" script by CALLIBAN on 02-03-2010 at 10:02 PM
Hi to all!
I hope this is the right place to write this. If not, I am very sorry.
I just installed the script "now playing" and I am having some issues here...
My main reason for instaliing this was the option "activate what I am listening" without using the bad windows media player. This script it is said to allow us to use the winamp. Anothe nice thing is that he changes our picture, replacing it by the cover of the music that is playing at the moment. very good This is working, but the music "that I am listening" doesn't! I am seeing it but my friends tell me that they can only see this "now playing - ".
Instead of the name of the music, they get a empty space.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Another thing: as we all know, without any script, this "now playing" feature works with windows media player (or itunes...), so now i have this doubt, should I , while using this "NOW PLAYING" deactivate this original option in the messenger menu?
Thanks in advance for those who may try to help me here.

Thanks for trying to help me, but i give up. That link didn't showed me nothing useful. I still can't see the music in my messenger. After reading pages and pages, I give up. it's not worth it. I am pissed of with myself for spending so many hours in this and with no results.
bah...

CALLIBAN, add yourself to your contacts list, that way you'll be able to see what your contacts can see, so you won't need to ask them.
I don't know if it's a problem with the script or a problem with WLM, but it may be worth reinstalling WLM in case, as well as doing the same with the script.

He's already got the script installed...?

Thanks, man.
The strangest thing is that I can see (and of course my friends too...) the little arrow but in its front there is no music name .
I only have "»-"
Another strange thing: If i press this "-" I am directed to google page!! why ?! Could it be something with the winamp itself? I've been looking...
And finally: I was thinking, what if I am wrong? With this script, my friends are supposed to see the song that is playing, right? Like before with windows media player...right?
I am asking this because the description of the script says something about sending the music we are listening to a friend...
RE: "now playing" script by Chris4 on 02-04-2010 at 08:47 AM
Did you do what I suggested?

You need to read what the script actually does before attempting to use it.
It allows you to change the format of the music in your personal message, as well as the (!WAT) command - which sends the artist and song title to your friends in a conversation ... and many other functions.
Have you opened the configuration yet? If not, you need to do so from the Scripts menu.
You need to select which player you're using from the Main tab, as well as check 'Enable updating your Personal message to your current song' from the PSM tab, etc. ...

messenger plus! > preference & options > General > Scripts
click on Now Playing in the list.
click Edit at the bottom where it says "Developers Only" [Create New] [Edit]
at the top it says "Current Script File:" scroll down to "main.js"
at line 237 in main.js
replace the code with this
code: setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} {1}", parseSongFormat(player,playerName,format));

ahahahahha! Chris, I am sorry to be laughing. Don't get me wrong, but I am not those guys who don't understand nothing about nothing in computers. LOL. Of course I did all that. That is the basic, man! If you tell me about editing code, now we are talking

SKAI123, this seems very interesting, but FINALLY i solved my problem...And now i don't want to risk nothing.
So, what have I done?
Well, I Started to wonder if it wasn't winamp's fault. I discovered I didn't had the last version, So i updated it. Very anxious to try it, I hit the play and...NO, IT DIDN'T WORKED!
So, my next stage was to try a different player. So, i downloaded Itunes. (and OF COURSE I did the changes in the script configuration.. )Guess what, It worked !!!
iT doesn't work at 100% - sometimes It doesn't work- but I think that is related to the file types of the songs...maybe...
Even so, probably in some days I will uninstall this script because when I am writing, the messenger freezes for 3 or 4 seconds while changing music...
Anyway, guys you were awesome with me! I really hope one of theses days I can do (or try...!) to do something for you!
bye bye!

If you're using iTunes then try the following script:
http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/16-iTunes+/
It works 100% for me with no problems and no freezing when music changes
