Extended features on the playing now thing by ravv on 10-24-2005 at 08:02 PM
Id like to be able to use the now playing for searching on other online music stores and on p2p-networks.
Is it possible. Has it already been done? Is it REALLY hard to do? Iīve never written plugins for MsgPlus so i have no idea

Honestly this kind of defeats the purpose of the Now Playing feature doesn't it?
And its not as easy as you think it would be. I doubt anyone will actually get any use out of it thus it wont be done.

One click and your favourite p2p searches for the song. i would love it thats enough for me I donīt really care about users atm 
. Getting the p2p to search shouldnīt be that hard if i can modify msn to send the signal.
And what i mean is one click on some users "now playing" searches for the song one "whatever iīve set it to do". Google, itunes, DC++ whatever.
How would this "defeat the purpose of now playing"?

The plugin does not have to use DC as a backend it can use itunes/whatever, maybe your not intrested in buying lets search for lyrics then. Point is, CAN I DO IT? not "nobody wants to do", can it be done with somewhat limited knowledge of msnplugins?

Use the edit button to change your posts its against our forum rules to double post.
Now as far as creating a Plugin to do this which languages are you familiar with. You are going to need to understand ASM so that you can create a plugin that alters what MSN Messenger does (in memory).
