for Wouter:
your plugins works good, but here are some bugs i think:
if you close Windows Media Player before closing Windows Messenger u get a runtime error: Song2Nick error 643 crashed blabla, u know.. (also when i installed vb sp6 from the link u gave)
If i close messenger before Windows Media Player everything goes fine, no errors... This error is only in ur updated version on page 1, i downloaded the version on page 8 too (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=18116&page=8) and with that one i dont have a runtime error when i close wmp before messenger, so maybe u can fix that in the new version too..
Also, when im playing a movie i get the following nick on ur version @ page 1
<nick> (!XWMPAUTHOR) - dmt-irobot - 1:50:00
and the version on page 8:
<nick> - dmt-irobot - 1:50:00
The system on page 8 is better i think, but i would be much better if u leave " - " if there is no artist/author for that file. Also good for in your new version
and my last one:
when im gaming and the next track starts in wmp, the game minimalise because a debug window popups in messenger, if u can make this in silent mode it would be great
For the rest this plugin is working correct
oh and btw, the blogging plugin is great to see what track is playing in the WMP statusbar, i think u need to keep that one in ur installer (because it's gone or something in the installer on page 1).. This plugin works great if u dont want to maximalise the window
oh and btw (!XWMPSTATE) doesn't work
