hey,


im trying to write a plugin that shows any and all the available info from iTunes, like Title, Artist, Album etc... however all my tags only show up as tags, not the correct info they shud be replaced with.

eg. i type (!ITARTIST) and it displays exactly that...


also, all my tags, which control the playing of iTunes, like Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Previous etc give an error...

try typing /thisdoesntexist into a convo window and hit send... it gives the same error as that.

however, both my commands and tags show up in the Plus -> Plugins menu, and the commands also show-up in the little help dropdown that opens when you press / and wait for a second...


any ideas anyone?!

thanks in advance...

all commands and tags provided by plugins have to start with x.  For example

Tag:    (!XFOREXAMPLE)

Command:    /xforexample

WOW. such a small mistake for such a big problem... thanks!

It does say that in the API documentation...

Yeh well... who reads the readme files or documentation anyway?!

Me...and when I do exactly what it says, it doesn't work... But I will search till i found the problem!

It's probably because you missed a little note somewhere, or it's a bug with your own code. It's always worth reading through things a few times. I myself still look through the API docs, and I've been using it since Plus! 2.50.

Yeap i will agree with raceprouk

The documentation and manuals are the developers best friend, the next best friend is Google and then the forums...

So off you go study a bit now
