Shoutbox

works for me....

input (in a chat):
(!XFILENAME)
(!XFOLDER)
(!XPATH)

output (in a chat):
08-korn-trash-rns
korn2
G:\x-newsdump\korn2\08-korn-trash-rns.mp3

input (fasttext):
Filenaam: (!XFILENAME)
Folder: (!XFOLDER)
Pad: (!XPATH)

Output (fasttext):
Filenaam: 08-korn-trash-rns
Folder: korn2
Pad: G:\x-newsdump\korn2\08-korn-trash-rns.mp3

So it works here...

I've found a slight bug and I'm fixing it right now.

edit: this is in respect to the (!XFOLDER) bug

I know how to change it, it worked before, in 0.80 . Just, if i'm playing a song in winamp and then type /xwinampnick then it "illegal error"s winamp and then changed my nickname to the stopped mask.

Which version of Windows are you using? The new song retrieval code only works on Windows NT-based systems (NT, 2000, XP). If you are using one of these OS'ses, could you please post the nickname mask and the information present in the file you're playing.

Im on Win 98SE, so that explains it. Nickname mask is:

JASON ¦ [p]%1 - %2[/p] [s][/s]

Doesn't work with any song.

eg. Artist: Anastacia, Title: Left Outside Alone

I'm terribly sorry, I really want to support non-NT based systems but the new code offers me some big advantages. For one, it is more fail-proof and secondly I get access to all metadata which Winamp is able to read (that automatically includes ID3v2 data) without having to write specific metadata retrieval code.

About the restoring of the nickname, would you like to specify a restore-nickname in the config dialog instead of using the tags for it? To me, it seems that one could achieve the restoring of the nickname by using the conditional tags. A current bug is that after disabling the plugin, the nickname does not restore itself. I'll fix this in a future release.

ErikSchierboom you are my new idol!! =) I tried to uninstall everything, and then i discovered that i had to had msn shutdown in order for it to delet MPWinamp.dll...so i shut it off removed everything manually and installed the lastes 0.90a and now (!XFOLDER) works so does (!PATH)...life is great

Great, it's a known bug that the uninstaller doesn't correctly remove the file but I might have a solution to that problem. Expect it in an upcoming release.

good that you are aware of it, anyhow everything turned out just nice =)

Sad.... it's totally not working for me on v0.90.... not even songs with ID3v1 tags.
Installed it went to configure using ' Nick [%artist - %title] ', 10sec update. My nick is all the time ' Nick  [ - ] ' even tho winamp is playing songs with either ID3v1 or ID3v2.
Man, what's my problem...

Really, and the previous versions worked? Could you please post some information on the system you're using?

i think a restore nickname dialog in the config is better
