Shoutbox

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.


at this moment the plugin has 10 commands and one tag

/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)

/xwmplist

This command will open a playlist editor. With thanks to predatory kangoroo

/xwmpslist (playlist)

if you don't specify playlist this command wil show your current playlist in the messenger window (make sure that windows media player is opened, it doesn't have to be playing but you should be able to see your playlist in it).

if you specify a playlist the command will show te songs in this playlist.

/xwp

plays or pause the instance of wmp

/xws

stops wmp

/xwn

next item in your playlist

/xwb

previous item in you playlist

/xwmpnick

will set you nick to the title of the current song

(!XWMP)

will show your current playing song



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



Known bugs


- when using 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)


-if you use the /xwmpslist command without specifying a playlist and while wmp is just opening or opening the media guide, wmp will crash. This has no further consequences for your system (wmp will restart without problems) but i'm working on it.

The plugin should be getting a bit usefull by now, expect more to come.

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)

nice work man

i don't even know if it works, i only tested it on a win 2k with wmp 9 dutch version, so if somebody with a different os who uses this plugin could tell me if it works...

will let you know later tonight man, just about to walk out the door.

XP and WMP 9

Tell me what I've done wrong rite?
Downloaded the plugin, unzip added to the plug-in folder and register it but still ain't working.
Using:  98 and WMP 9

make sure you have the latest version of msg plus 2.20.52 would be good.

have you restarted msn messenger?

try the command /xwmpabout that's a very simple command that can have no bug.

i admit the play/pause/stop/next/back commands don't always work, i'm working on them now, not that they are very important.

I expect to get the preview function ready by next week

u should make the now playing command a (!XTAG) instead of a /xcommand

i will do that as soon as i have solved some cooling problems with my processor

Ít won't show the currently playing, just Title: Plugin/author:
