Would it be possible to make a plugin that turns the song plugin automatically on or off depending on my status?

Say I was online, I'm happy for people to see what I'm listening to. If however, I was away doing something else but still listening to music, I'd rather people not be able to see what I'm listening to in case they think I'm still at the comp and bombard me with messages.

Currently I turn the plugin on and off manually, but it's a bit annoying.

Install Instructions
1. Extract files to your Messenger Plus! Plugin Folder.
2. Run register.bat
3. Double Click install.bat
4. Run ReloadPlugins.exe

This program has no configuration. If your status is Online it will enable PSM if your status isn't, it's disabled.

Thanks but this doesn't seem to work. It confirmed successful installation, but when trying it out nothing changed.

I tried restarting Messenger but no luck. I also notice a slight lag now when i sign in.

Thanks anwyay.

Matty,

Your program works the other way around.
Sometimes, it doesn't work at all.
kierant wants: if status = online, then show "What I'm Listening to"
else don't show it.

I also notice that the "What I'm Listening to" is only turned on/off on my own client, but it still shows the song title to other contacts.

I don't see how its possible...

    If objMessengerAPI.MyStatus = MISTATUS_ONLINE Then
        SetDWordValue "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\" & msnID, "ShowTransientPSM", 1
    Else
        SetDWordValue "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\" & msnID, "ShowTransientPSM", 0
    End If

Anyways it does work I tested it... not sure whats up with kierant's PC. Did you try restarting? Shouldn't be necessary but still.

And does it show up in the Plugins section for Plus!?

Not sure how thats possible cause that reg key prevents MSN Messenger from accepting PSMs from programs.

OK

It works really weird on my PC.

Say that I play a song while my status is Online.
Then I change my status to Away,
    the "What I'm Listening to" is still there.
    the check mark for "Turn on 'What I'm Listening to'" is gone.
I click Away again,
    then the song title doesn't show up.
If I change my status repeatedly to Away, it doesn't show up, which is good.

After that,
I change my status to Online,
    the song title still doesn't show up.
    the check mark for "Turn on 'What I'm Listening to'" appears.
Click it once again,
    then "What I'm Listening to" appears.
Clicking Online repeatedly, it still shows up.

At the first time, I didn't test it throughly

But the main problem still exists.
The song title appears/disappears on my client (under my display name), but on the other client (I use JrnzLoader) the song title keeps appearing.

The reg key is prolly for the check mark only.
I really don't know if it can show/hide the song title on other client.

Another opinion would be good

If I may add, I reinstalled Plus!, so there are no other plugins in the system.

More:
So, the song title keeps appearing (on my contacts' clients), right?
When I play the next track, the same song title played before I changed the status is still shown.
