[request] Games in the "Show media" by Nightmaker on 08-31-2010 at 10:16 AM

I don't know if this has already been made or anything but i seriously couldnt find it :S i also know that something like this is already for the xbox but not for computer. So i'm looking for something that where it shows the songs when you play that if you're playing a game on your  PC that it show the game instead.

Thanks in advanced.(Y)

It is called XFire... look in the script db for it.

Yes it does, but it doesn't set the Now Playing message properly since the formatting change in WLM9. In the case of my tweaked AppMon+, the problem can be easily fixed by distributing the information displayed, as if either the title or artist parameters are blank it'll look weird:

(8) - In Game - Half-Life 2

I solved this by splitting the input string by the hyphen and putting "In Game" in the title field and the game's title in the artist field:

(8) In Game - Half-Life 2

Of course, that wouldn't work if the title in AppMon+ was just Half-Life 2, so I just put "In Game - " in front of all the game entries. If you just wanted to use AppMon+ for monitoring games you could simply hard-code that in, but I might add in other applications to the list later on.

EDIT: There are also some other annoying habits that AppMon+ has. For example it keeps setting your display picture every once in a while, leading to a huge amount of the same picture in the DP list. I went around getting rid of all the references to setting/resetting the DP in the script, hopefully that'll fix it.

Do you have that scripted?
