Updated 12:24 wednesday (changes in /xwmp)
ok don't get overexcited, this isn't a very usefull plugin yet, in fact it's just the beginning of a very big plugin, so be patient, but it would be nice to be sure that some parts are working already
you can download the plugin here
http://www.freedownloads.be/Plugins.zip
it is a vb plugin, make sure you have the latest plus version, copy the dll to the plugin folder, register it and execute the reg file.
Now this plugin has three commands
/xwmpabout (no explanation needed)
/xwmp (directory)
first function, if you don't specify the directory it will show the media files (currently supported mp3,wmw,mpg) in your received files folder and enabling you to play them. If you specify a directory it will display the files in that directory
enables you to listen, send and delete media files
second function, previewing the files you receive while you are receiving them, if you execute this command while receiving a file the dll will recognise this and you will get the possibility to preview it, DO NOT DO THIS, it will cause a fatal error!!! i havn't figured out the file encryption yet.
/xwmpopen (filename)
fairly straight forward, you have two possibilities, one you give a filename, media player will be opened with the given file if the path is correct (in fact the same as the run command)
two, you don't give a file name, an open dialog will show where you can pick your mp3 (other media types are possible but you will have to type them cause i only set a filter for mp3)
what should be coming
-real previewing once i figure out how i have to decrypt the temporary files TFRxxx.tmp, i could use some help here
control of wmp from msn:
-playlist editor
-setting your nick to the title of the song playing
-al controls like play,pause,...
-getting current song, playlist
...
as you see i have a long way to go, i hope i will be able to do it all, it may prove to be not that easy
Known bugs
- the current position in the song isn't displayed when playing (fixed)
- volume control doesnt work for mpeg files (fixed)
- when usin xwmpopen, the command isn't ignored by messenger and will be send to your contact, so don't use filenames you don't want your contact to know about
- no error handling!!!! so be carefull
- the layout sucks (i consider this a bug
)
- clicking on stop or closing the play window may take a long time (a few seconds)
pls do not judge me on this plugin, it's not finished at all, i just want to be sure of the basics before i continue
suggestions are always welcome
(note: some people report problems when using several plugins, compatibility problems, if this is the case with this plugin, pls let me know)
