Swap title/artist in MSN 7 plugin by riahc4 on 04-14-2005 at 06:38 PM

Does anyone know how to make a plugin that can swap the title/artist in MSN 7?
None of the patches seem to work...
and the {1} - {0} doesnt work either

I beliving patching is illegal, so I don't think creating a patch would be a good idea.. :)

From what I can see in PE Explorer, the psmsong.dll is the plugin for WMP. If you're using a different Media Player, then you'll need a separate plugin for that player.

Edit: Just checked out gen_MSN.dll, TB's plugin for Winamp, and that appears hard-coded to Title - Artist.

In conclusion, it's the plugin that's responsible, so it'll be very hard to implement.

Edit 2: Just did the reshacking for the WMP plugin - yes it is the plugin that's repsonsible for the order of the data.

What it looks like is the media player plugin just sends a string to Messenger, and Messenger sets that string to be the PM. I've written a more detailed explanation in 'Phoenix Suggestions', which I believe you posted in ;)

Think you could easily fix by changing \0 - \1 to \1 - \0 :P
could be Unicode though, not sure ;)

In what file? It doesn't work with Winamp if you change it in psmsong.dll.

err, gen_msn.dll ?
in the winamp dir?

You can install TheBlasphemer small WinAMP plugin, and from options, you can change the order or Title/artist.

Doesn't appear as a String resource.

It's somewhere on mess.be, I can't give the link, stupid framebreaking.

It downloaded the one off mess.be and it is the same as before. No options.
