Did you check the file's info? Maybe it's written like that.

And when it made MSN crash, did you check if the file had any info at all?

I found this plugin crashing with a specific group of files: Blink 182 which didn't have tag info in them. *after looking at previous posts* Oh, someone had the same problem.

Ah, and don't double-post, it's against the forum rules (edit your previous message)

no i found the problem.. the MP3 is VBR instead of CBR
only reasons i can come up with

it ain't the tags (v1 and v2), i already tested that...
the header isn't it also

(it ain't the / in the song)


After all these problems, i have some request (features)
- nickname changing if the next song starts (already requested)
- Status of the song with one command (like: Now Playing: , Now stopped, Now paused)
- If Winamp isn't on, it changes back to your normall nickname

Thanks for all your input, I'll evaluate what has to be done and get to work next week (I'm having one hell of a LAN-party right now). Thanks again.

Finally something that works resonably well for MSN Messenger 7.
Well done.
So far normal files that use tagging shows up but older formats like MODS, S3Ms, ITs, XMs, and so on do not use that kind of format. Not sure how this is planned to be dealt with. (if at all) but it would be nice since I listen to a lot of these files on Winamp.

I use Yahoo! Messenger Status Plugin v0.5.1 for Yahoo *of course*
  (it's a General Purpose Winamp Plugin)

So YMSP is developed differently (sorta the other way) than this plugin is but maybe there is a way to make it work with other file formats?
http://www.mycgiserver.com/~bambang/software.html is where I got YMSP.
It's a pity it hasn't been worked on in over a year and a half but it's the only one that works the way I want it to and with Yahoo Messenger 6.

I've tracked the bug down and will try to solve it asap.

please can you add song to avatar feature like song2nick?

thanks

I've fixed the bug which caused messenger to crash, in the new release it should not crash anymore. The new release (0.81c) can be found at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121315

Well, this would probably take some time to develop. I really like this feature, but I don't think I will add it to my plugin, sorry.

I have an idea to have my plugin have add support for other file formats, but it remains to be tested. I'll keep you updated.

Happy new year to you all!

Sweet, it works (for the crash part ) nice work..

Discovered a new bug:
if i use this name: Da Dude [p] Now playing: %1 - %2 - %3 [/p]

and play the korn song (the one with spaces bug) it doesn't display the song

if i remove the [p] command and %3 command it works, but still with spaces.. hope to see it fixed

and happy new year 2 you 2, and others
