Some of you may have seen World Cup Live 2006 already, and maybe seen a glimpse of iTunes+... anyway, now they're both publically available here:

http://msig.info/plusscripts/

If you use iTunes, you'll wanna give iTunes+ a try... and if you don't... why not try iTunes, then give iTunes+ a try!

Feature List

• Control iTunes via commands and menu items, pause, skip tracks etc
  
• Can change your DP to the current album art
  
• Can easily show your contacts what you're listening to, and send it to them (or even copy it to the sharing folder), simply by typing a command or choosing a menu option
  
• It has a built in track editor so you can change incorrect details without even opening iTunes
  
• iTunes+ has a built in lyrics viewer that shows you lyrics saved in your iTunes Library or from the internet, and can save downloaded lyrics to your iTunes library
  
• Also includes other miscellaneous features, like showing your contacts stats about your iTunes library

it has been an honour to test iTunes+ over the last few weeks I personally see it as the best script yet, and things will only get better, Alex has some good plans and i find it a shame that he wasn't accepted onto teh beta list as he would surely have won the competition we just had running before release

enjoy his scripts i look forward to many more

Hey alex. I used Messpatch to get rid of the searchbar and entertainment add at the bottom of the contact list on wlmessenger. Would the itunes+ miniplayer still work at the bottom even tho i removed the add and search bar?

OK glad to hear Cant wait to use it!

Ugh.. Something is blocking my messenger to showing what im listening to. Can anyone help? I know its not +itunes. WMP is doing it too.

Yeah, your script is the best script for MP!L I'm using it and it's great few bugs but it's still great

what bugs are you experiencing?

I have already reported them to Alex via msn. But the bugs are: I mess patched to remove the ads, and when I chose to show the mini player instead of the ads, it doesn't work.

Can you code a version for windows media player 11?

I think the advert replacer problem was due to a lack of windows messenger by the way...

an "/iedit" command to edit the current song (like the edit song option from the mini player)

i can only do one thing: attach to what aNILEator wrote

it was a honour 4 me to test and translate iTunes+

i switched to iTunes for translating and testing this script , i love it and i use iTunes as my favourite player now. Alex did the best script for plus,  it has good ideas for his following projects, and i can't wait for it

and hey does anybody know his web2messenger image gen,  makes the best status images for Web2Mesenger, WebDP, Ben's Bot, Mess Labs and xfire, it does the best status images i have ever seen

thank u very much 4 iTunes Plus Alex you're a great coder

Thank you.

And I believe /songedit is what you're looking for!

Check the help / readme for a complete command list.

WOW!!!!!

Just found the most amazing thing about this - the "/lyrics" thing finds lyrics that i don't have, and then i can save it to iTunes. That is amazingly usefull! it takes all the bother out of searching the internet for lyrics i don't have. THANK YOU!

it seems like the itunes+  miniplayer wont refresh the songinfo until you click on the prev or next button on the miniplayer..

after 4 songs the miniplayer still hasn't refreshed...
when i pause the song and let it play again via the miniplayer it doesn't refresh too..

Great stuff and thanks for the help cheers!

suggestions:

-being able to type "CTRL+S" to save lyrics in the lyrics screen

-being able to edit lyrics in the lyrics screen

-option to change lyrics site for the lyrics (if possible)

wow.. just tried this script, and I must say, I am loving it. The /play command, plus the DP-gen. So many cool things

Suggestions:

-it would be nice to change between different playlists

-being able to go to next artist using the quick text

AH

I have a suggestion. I just went into the "My Displayer Picure changer" (the one for WLM), and every artwork that's been genned, is now in that list. idk if its possible or not, but it would be VERY handy to be able to stop it from doing that, as so it doesn't clog up the list.

Oh ok, I didn't read the readme in full. That sucks though. Still great plugin though ^_^

This is by far the best thing I have ever seen especially the lyrics importer. Big thumbs up from me...

Hey this script rocks thanks heaps!

A suggestion for the lyrics importer is that of an auto refresh when song changes because at the moment it doesn't change for each new song just the first one unless you do it yourself. If you could add this in it would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, this really is an amazing script, I'm loving it

The only issue I am having is that on the Mini Player, the song does not update (ie refresh) automatically. Other than that, 10 out of 10, awsome work

This is an amazing script! Well done. I've used things like this in the past but never this powerful

You can either type "%filerequest%" (minus the quotes) or select the toption in the menu.  It only works with other iTunes+ users though.

I'm loving this script! seriously its soo helpfull, i espically like the way that if you don't any album art for a particular song it puts up the little DP with the track you are listening to! very good keep up the good work!

But anyways, great work man - this is one of  the best plugins I've ever used. The display picture art feature in particular is awesome.
Btw, is there any program that can batch delete display pictures?

---

I didn't install it yet, but listening to those comments, the enlisted features and the screenshots I can say that this script is very hard to beat!
Thumbs up, alex!

Is there anyway to constantly have the DP as the track your listening to if you have the album cover??

Anyways, is it possible to  have the song rating in the mini player?
Also, the  text in the mini player is a bit hard to read due to the colour

---

---

And the text colour should adapt nicely to whatever colour your messenger window is... are you using an odd colour or just finding it hard to read on the default?  Seems ok to me.

TIP: to quickly remove all the display pictures hold down ALT+R

and if all works you should be able to search for an update from the script soon

Very nice script. Im using it right now, great work and congradulations on making one of the first popular scripts for MP!L

i think he meant for it to change the display pic to the current song's name (like it aparently does to songs without artwork (i don't have any songs without artwork to test it))

---

Another thing how come the %duration% tag doesn't display in Min/secs it would be good if it was like -dt-'s and had [00:00/06:13] sort of thing

Custom DP options (like always generate an image) was something I was planning to add next major update.

-Bogan- : %time% tag shows in minutes and seconds, and I've just added an %elapsed% tag that'll be in the next update (soon)

Ok thanks just thought I'd ask cause I like your script but that feature was good in -dt-'s

This script is awesome, just want to congradulate you on the awesome work

[edit] um..right now i keep ongetting this msg telling me a updated version's avaliable...so i downlaoded and installed and it tells me an updated verision again, i've downlaoded 4 times already, and still keep on telling me

OK, released a minor update:

* Made lyrics window editable.
* Made lyrics window refresh to match the current song
* Added %elapsed% tag  (use [%elapsed%/%time%])
* Edit:  also made a few modifications to the refreshing of the mini player, let me know if it makes any difference!

You can redownload, or in the menu select check for updates, or if you have automatic checking on... just wait!


EDIT: Darkshrimp, just released two little updates because the first one was a bit broken, make sure the script isn't being downloaded from your cache when you redownload... clear your cache or switch browser.

by the way, is there a short cut for show current song playing?

/showsong

Full command list in the readme.

Thanks for the update works a treat

great, no bugs for me so far except the miniplayer doesn show up but its not that important...

Ah, my Norwegian translator had this problem but no one else has... are you using a foreign version of iTunes by any chance?


EDIT:  Damn, about the refreshing, I'll fix that ASAP, expect an update shortly.  And it's 5 seconds actually.

---

Fixed the refreshing in new update.

That's weird about the lyrics being cut off, the norwegian translator (Nitrolinken) kept asking me to fix it so in the end I made a version that logged as much info as it could about lyrics, and in the end, we found the problem was that iTunes itself wasn't returning the full lyrics when it was asked.  The script was getting them from the server fine, saving them correctly, but iTunes was just passing a cut off version of the lyrics.  I can't suggest much besides reinstalling iTunes.

Well that refreshing problem was damn annoying.

Does anyone else have a problem with it grabbing the wrong lyrics???

just downloaded it from the site and the refreshing think is still happening. is the new update not up yet?

Grabs the best lyrics it can.

Make sure the script isn't being downloaded from your webcache, clear the cache / use a different brower, it should be fixed now...

Meh anyway you can code it like Leos Lyrics for winamp or evil lyrics for Itunes and winamp??

So you can change what is searched for??

refresh problem still exists (i downloaded the newest version, and the update feature also says no new version..)

I'll hopefully improve lyrics soon, maybe a next result button or something.

futb0l:  yup, makes it easy when I screw up like this.

Jellings:  My bad, the code only worked if you auto-saved lyrics / used the iTunes library.  I've fixed that in a new update, again... hopefully properly this time.

refresh problem fixed! ^_^ awesome.

it's cutting off the end of lyrics again though..
when the lyrics are found from that site they're complete, when i click save it saves the entire lyrics to iTunes, the only problem is when it tries to get the lyrics from iTunes it cuts the end off some of them.

after doing a word count in MS Word it seems that it cuts the lyrics off after about 1088 characters (including spaces)

By what alexp2_ad is saying you only need to re-install iTunes to get it to work and anyway iTunes has ana uto-update feature and a check for newest update in help anyway.

---

A few suggestions:

- Transparency in Mini Player: Is this possible?
- Short cut key for Mini Player: It'd be great if you can have a short cut key which instantly opens up the mini player.

Transparency:  Tough one... dunno that's possible, but you could try using Vitrite, it lets you make any window transparent by hitting crtl+shift+a number, where 0 makes windows opaque and the others are levels of ransparency.

Shortcut key - might be possible with a dll, I'll look into it.

another suggestion:  could you make a quicktext to pen iTunes?

I left my computer on for a few hours while I was away, and iTunes was playing.... when I got back I had 4 "update available" windows, you may want to fix this

If you like it, rate it in the script DB: http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/index.php?act=view&id=16

There's no "Open iTunes" command, but I'll add one.  And I'll make /play start iTunes if it isn't running.

hah, nice script although i dont use itunes
WMP plz

This is by far the best script thus far.

Is there any chance of intergrating player controls into the IM windows?

Alex P... Good job!

iTunes+ is the best script, I'll vote for it.

This is my first added script, just got MP!L....

Personally I'd perfer the IM player controls in the top right side of the window, or in the area where the text ad is. I also like to see album art intergrated there as well.

I could easily add something like the contact list ad replacer to integrate controls and such into convo windows, but given the fact I have received literally nothing but bad things about the CList ad replacer, I'm not sure if I should really...

here is a bug .

when i set the option to display the CLad controller, it's not working .

Will you try to make Itunes + remove the pic itself because it add a lot of pics and it can be annoying in the end

also what about adding a /covers to find covers we don't have. what about searching on amazon.com because they have a lot then we could chose to save it or not.

keep working lol

There wouldn't be much space...but maybe a resizeable version, methinks?

Odd, I'm just doing that.

iTunes+ Version 1.3.5

New Commands:
/imin - To minimize iTunes
/imax - To restore iTunes and bring it to focus
/mute - To mute iTunes
/playcount - To show the playcount or set the playcount to an entered number.
/custommusicpsm - Use this with a tagged sentence after to set a custom listening to PSM.  For example "/custommusicpsm %artist% - %title% [%ratingstars%]", kinda pointless with what I''m listening to feature, but some people would still like it...  To turn it off, use /custommusicpsm with nothing after it.

Other changes:
Made MiniPlayer resizable, and made contact list version resizable, should now fit all contact lists neatly.

How can you make the contact list one appear if you've patched the ads? I've even tryed it with the ad on and it still dosen't work.

Edit: One more thing, can you make the Title/Artist/Album scroll in the miniplayer if the full data isn't shown? (like iTunes does). And add like the current time of the song, how much time is left, ect.

hmm..
i updated itunes+, but now it seems like the miniplayer can't replace the ad at all...

edit:

never mind... it suddenly worked

edit2:

doesnt work again

annoyance that i would like to see fixed:

1. If you resize the window, the miniplayer in the cl disappears.  It only appears about 2 seconds later.

2. The miniplayer isnt completely covering the ads, it's a pixel off on the bottom.

suggestions:
perhaps have an option in the option menu to set the font color of the "Now Playing" text, as in some conditions, it can be too faint.

i think controls in the IM window at the bottom over the text ad would be good alex i dislike the contact list one just because when you patch messenger it removes that area completely but you could get away with it in IM windows i think just use small icons or place them somewhere different

It shouldn't matter if the ads patched or not. It should be able to attach to the bottom of the contact list. And yes, IM controls would be an awesome idea.

I'd like to see something like this ported to Yahoo Messenger 8's plugin system.

Where's the "Edit Info" button gone in the Mini Player?

[bug] when using "/playcount" it seems to mute iTunes at the same time.

Type "/mute" to unmute it again (or click the speaker symbol at the right of the volume slider in iTunes)

I tried that and didn't work so had to exit + It kept what I was playing in the Msn now playing. I checked to see if the proccess was still running for Itunes but it wasn't quite random Eh!!

hey all, just like to say, i'm loving this plugin.. but i was just wondering.. do you think there will be any chance of adding a 'search' function? lol, yeah it sounds a bit over the top, but i get bored.. and i was looking through the iTunes COM SDK, trying to figure out how i could mould it into MPL.. but as i programmed in Visual Basic.. this just goes over my head, lol...

is there any tutorial or something (more detailed than the offical MPL scripting doc's) that could help me out a bit more with this?? i've tried google, but no luck yet?

Cobrahq: There sort of is a search, type /play search params eg:  /play Keane

Bogan: Pretty random, that's windows for ya.

Everyone who pointed out that /playcount mutes: fixed, 1.3.6.

Futb0l: Didn't notice I'd screwed up the edit info button, fixed, 1.3.6.

ipab: Your first annoyance, so difficult to fix, that I'm leaving it for now at least, I obviously didn't do it because I like it that way.   Your second annoyance: it's hard to fix the pixel height precisely for everyone, I've pushed it down slightly in the hope that'll fix it for you.  Custom colours suggestion:  could be kinda difficult, I'll see if I can make it more readable. =/

Auto update feature for the song edit would be good as I just discovered. I needed to manually put in the track numbers for two cd's If there was an auto udate I could just click nxt and put it in. Not neccesary but just thought it would be good.

same with me but its important to alex i think cos he wants a full script im guessing, not just half done.

Well yes, I'm hardly gonna say one small feature not working for certain people makes my script "half done", but anyway...

There are a whole bunch of debug traces for the window in the latest version, so if anyone who doesn't have it working turns the option on and opens the contact list and copies me the debug, that'd be handy.

(i ment 19/20ths done )

The contact list is NOT large enough for the player...  Reported size was: undefined
Opened the mini player

here we go... my contact list was maximised btw

More than 19/20 I'd say   Count the commands and features, and take account that the CList replacer is working for most people.

The crucial line in your debug log "Failed to create Messenger api object".  You had the same problem with the world cup script basically.

Do you have windows messenger installed?  And are you using XP?

yeh i've got windows messenger although i disable the startup in the registry ages ago sumhow, cant remeber, so that it wouldnt sign in, is that the problem? yeh im using XP too

Function called: OnEvent_ContactListWndCreated

Windows Messenger is uninstalled and I'm using Windows XP Home SP2.

I'm going to go with the broken windows messenger being the problem then.  In both cases it has failed to create the api object and you've had a non standard windows messenger setup.

If you want it to work, please try installing windows messenger: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...774&DisplayLang=en

I was hoping you wern't not going to say that. *sighs* Ok, I'll install it. But I forgot how you can disable it completely from starting...

Well one way is set permissions (if you have XP pro...) To stop it from running altogether?

Cloudy

If you turn off it's starting options in Tools > Options it should very rarely bug you tbh.

Ok, installing Windows Messenger does indeed fix it. But on the patched versions (without the ad and search bar) there's a white gap between the controller and bottom of the contact list. Is there anything that can be done to fit it at the bottom?

Also, I've noticed navigation of songs, and bring up the contact list creates a delay when it's active (Which also brings up the WLM right click menu when you double click open WLM from tray).

and is it possible to add a shuffle and repeat button to the miniplayer?

A suggestion for a feature for this is the option to eject your iPod, it has update iPod which is great, but eject iPod would be awsum!

i've got windows messenger installed from before but i disabled it in the registry, anyway to like undisable it, i cant remember...

Is it possible to have a function which is similar to the /play <song> funtion but instead of playing the song, the song is made to be played next in party shuffle?

And how about making a 'Top Songs' and 'Top Artists' list (by play count) in which the user can display to others by typing a command?

Thanks.

How about a function like /lyrics, but not getting the lyric of a song, but the art. So when I type /art it automatically finds the art of the song, whether the art which is already linked to the song, or online ?

Glad you like it, gonna add a similair thing for album art soon.  You can open lyrics from the menu too, not just the command.  EDIT: And in the options you can set it to save downloaded lyrics automatically too.

When I play a song which doesn't have lyrics saved in itself, it keeps saying "Loading lyrics...". It doesn't load the lyrics at all. The very first version of iTunes+ didn't have that problem, then I could load lyrics, but now it can't. Probably a combination of options which are set/unset ?

Oh, and it does work when the lyrics are saved in the song...

Hello, I have a small Idea. What about making a window opening with the cover picture and under the artist and the title of the song and under that a get lyrics link and a get cover link. It would open at every song just like when people come online.

but of couse it must have  an option to be turned off if we don't want it to open.

About the lyrics problem: It doesn't refresh by regetting the lyrics every 5 seconds (at least, not in the latest version ) so a slow internet connection should not be a problem in any way, though you don't have one, so forget that anyway.  I'd be interested to talk to you and see if I can get more info on the problem... contact me in some way if you want.  iTunes+ does get lyrics through msig.info, so check that you can access that site if it mysteriously doesn't load lyrics.

Also, I cannot stress this enough: if you have a mysterious non-working problem, please go to Plus > Preferences > Scripts and turn the script debugger on, or open it from Plus > Show Script Debugger if it's already turned on, then in the debugger, select iTunes+ in the script list, perform the action that's causing a problem, and copy the debug log to me, either on the forum or in a message.  That will greatly speed up my ability to find the problem and fix it for you.

tinpiliycfa:  I could probably do something like this, and if I did I would obviously make it optional (user choice is the way to go scripters, don't tie people into the way you like things!)  though if you want a now playing toaster for iTunes I would probably recommend iTunes Toaster, it looks good and is pretty customizable.  It doesn't have a lyrics and get cover link, but it's a good alternative, since if I do this it might take a while to get it looking good.  But I will consider adding something like this... would anyone else want this feature??

Count me! But it must be optional...

For anyone who want's to try it out, here's a beta release, not available from the regular update system:

http://msig.info/itunesplus/script/iTunes+%20BETA.plsc

Here's what's new:

* Cover art downloader, automatic or manual through the menu.  Get's the largest image amazon has to offer.

* Music server - allows your contacts to search and download tracks from your music, using !sendme or !shareme.  Here's a screenshot:



* Play request.  Added more as a joke than a feature, but when turned on this allows your contacts to choose or suggest music with !play.   You can set it to ask you before following the suggestion, or to follow it blindly.  Provides mild entertainment.

* Usage of events instead of timers.  This means the script will run quicker, use less memory, and stuff like the lyrics window and miniplayer refreshing will be instant on track change.

Please report any bugs!

Looks, sounds, and is good!

No particulary bugs... But it didn't like Lordi so much.

I like the Music server feature, very nice BETA

Ah, OK, found the problem with the beta where it stopped picking up the events, I think I've fixed it, please redownload the beta and tell me if you still experience the problem or not.

Is there a way for it to modify it to where it will get the lyrics from azlyrics.com instead of leoslyrics.com?

Sorry if this has came up before (too lazzy read all 19 pages).
But, first of all, congratulation on this exelent script! love it very much.

Now, some issues:
I'm testing the new v1.5.0 BETA where the default avatar issue has been fixed...almost...so far the only problem I've noticed is when you shut down iTunes (either though the script or the program itself) while its still playing, the avatar will stay as the last song's artwork. Perhaps its something on my side, because sometimes my personal message shows that I'm still playing something, but iT was closed long time before...I dont know...
Anyways, after iT closed, iT+ DP feature does not work anymore. In the debug window nothing showed, only some events showed, such as onclick. No error message either.
The only way to revive the DP is to restart iT+

Secondly, for some reason the default avatar could be added into messenger's avatar list more then ones, so you might endup with duplicate avatars (never happend with artwork avatars though)

And a little feature request:
The song server is a great feature, but when there are thousands results in the search (!sendme/!shareme commands) using next/prev page is just so pain in the butt...
It could be more practical add an additional: next from offset feature.

For example if there are 1000 songs in the list by sending:
>500
would show 10 songs starting from 500 and not from 10 as if you send just ">"
its pretty much easy to acomplish, a simple REGEX would do

Thank you very much for this great script. Looking forward to see the final version soon

This is probably because of the way you are closing iTunes, try uing the iTunes+ command "/iquit" to close iTunes and see if that helps.  This is because iTunes+ is using the iTunes scripting interface.  Hope this fixes your problem.

I have  small bug or not maybe...

When I start my itunes + It show the title of the song and all in my psm but my avatar doens't change until I went to itunes + option and I push apply...

Originally posted by alexp2_adClose.... have 1 gold star.    The problem will be that on quitting, iTunes kills the scripting engine and it needs to be remade to control iTunes, so I have a timer that checks every 30 seconds to check if iTunes is running so it can remake it.  However I did make a couple mistakes that might screw up the timer, so I've made some significant improvements to this code and fixed stuff up, please redownload the beta and see if it helps.  The max you should have to wait for the DP to change / change back is 30 seconds.

Let me know how you get on!

---

I'm not sure you read my post correctly, I said I'd corrected this and could you download the new one and try that, you're not still having the problems with the new one surely?

yes, just redownloaded again to be sure and still same issue. Basicaly the issue only occure when iT closed NOT through iT+ menu.
Also as you said iT+ will revive itself after 30 seconds timeout, so, if you close iT and then open it again and start playing something, you'll need wait these 30 seconds befor iT+ kicks in.

P.S. still in order to change the default DP, you must restart iT+...

Another issue, is it due to the iT+ or iTunes itself that when artwork downloaded from the internet and untill it added into iTunes database, the sound is stoped (for 1-3 seconds)?
I think its because of iT, but just want to be sure

Ok, here is a working example on how the paging can be done.

in iTunes+.js find:

code:

---

      if(sMessage == ">" || sMessage == "\">\""){

---

code:

---

      var offset = 0;
      if ((match = sMessage.match(/^([<>]) *([0-9]*)?\s*$/)) != null)
      {
        sMessage = match[1];
        if (match[2]) offset = parseInt(match[2]);
      }
      if(sMessage == ">" || sMessage == "\">\""){
        if (offset) nextpage[sOrigin] = offset;

---

code:

>123

Ops, missed your replys, guys. Thanks.

If I may, would like to mention another thing.
When iT+ sends out the file with !sendme command, it displays message "Sending your file, thanks for using iTunes+ Music Server!". I dont know about you guys, but I didnt like that, because you can see that the file is being sent...
With !shareme command on other hand, the message is suggested, because you cant really see if file being shared or not, untill it synchronized...so the conclusion, I think it would be nice have that message displayed only on !shareme command.


Thanks.

You can see that it's being syncronized if you open the sharing folder. The bar on the bottom will say "Synchronizing <filename> (<percent>)..."

I 'm still having problems with getting the lyrics from the internet and a moment ago I just realized what the problem likely causes: McAfee VirusScan. Everytime iTunes+ starts running, McAfee gives a warning with a probably dangerous script. It gives me the option to allow this script running, which I choose of course. But it looks like iTunes+ couldn't grab lyrics form the internet..

One thing I don't get: it worked for me for a while and suddenly it didn't work anymore (I just noticed it)..

17 jul:
Now it works again.. I think it depends on the song whether it can find the correct lyrics or not

Another feature request:
Status check. So, if its "Busy" then no file sending can be done.
This probably will be usefull for gamers, whos playing online game and whos upload might hit on their ping.

hey i just tried out the itunes+ beta and y isnt the miniplayer replacing the advertisments on the bottom of the messenger is this a bug or do i have a setting wrong?

it only reaplces the advert in the contact list window, you may need to close it to teh system tray and then reopen it before it appear, if you re-size the window the advert will appear again for a short while whilst  iTunes+ figures out teh new contact list size to apply the advert again, if your contact list is too thin it will not appear either

At the moment you need to have Windows Messenger (the cruddy old one ) installed for the advert replacing to work.  Hoping to get round that later.

It has also been noted before that if your contact list isn't wide enough then it won't appear either.

iTunes 7 alert. iTunes+ doesn't seem to like it. For me, the menu actually disappears until iTunes is closed. It then lets me run iTunes, but disappears and reports the commands as nonexistent if I try and type them.

Hmm, odd.  I have no problem running iTunes 7 and iTunes+ and as far as I can guess the SDK isn't changed.  But I don't have internet access on my own PC right now so I can't help you out too much.  Anyone else have this problem?  I know none of my immediate contacts do.

iTunes7 with iTunes+ running fine here...

tryed the beta, doesnt work either, itunes+ doesnt appear int he menu either... hmmmm

iTunes 7 and iTunes+ seem to be working fine together for me Not using BETA for either program...

Hmm, this is most odd.  It seems to work for some people and not others...

Could anyone it isn't working for post / pm me the contents of the debug window?

Add me on messenger if you like, so we can try and solve this one.

heres a clue maybe, when i click open itunes in the menu, nothing happens... the menu only comes up when itunes 7 isnt open... itunes 7 looks so good with the whole jupebox album covers thing... ill do that debug thing now.. dont know anything about scripting, but ill see what happens.

Function called: OnEvent_Timer
that keeps coming up one after the other in debug
this is without itunes 7 open...

EDIT: same thing happens with itunes 7 open..

AmbulanceX: Try having a go at opening iTunes through the iTunes+ menus and see if the same thing comes up when you do that.

yeah, if im understanding you right thats what i ment before, when i click the plus! menu, and go down to itunes+ then click open itunes, nothing happens at all.

yeah i tryed it once, uninstalled it, got the beta one, tryed that, then got the latest incase i had an old one... yeah i would add him, but i dont have anyone on msn i dont know, and would like to keep it that way ha ha sorry mate no offence.

Im using the iTunes+ BETA with iTunes 7 -  no problems so far...

itunes 7 is far too buggy at the moment, its a shame and alot of people have experienced poor audio quality and crackling.

its the least stable version i've ever used, i love the album flipper but it sucks at playing videos, audio can crackle and or be shite, and VERY VERY VERY Resource heavy

iTunes has always been resource heavy... v7 works better than v6 did for me =]

Yeah itunes 7 is going crackly for me as soon as another program makes a sound, very unstable.. but looks good and thats all i care about. any news on itunes+ with 7?

like the sound of it so im gunna download it and love it!

edit: love it thanx mate

another edit: it slows down WLM when im usig so i removed it

Hey guys... I just wanted to post this here since a lot of people seem to be having the same problem.

When I updated iTunes to 7.0, this script stopped working.  After several days of uninstalling/installing the script itself, I tried removing iTunes 7.0 and reinstalling it and it is working again.

1. Uninstall iTunes 7.0
2. Restart computer
3. Download a new copy of iTunes 7.0
4. Install iTunes 7.0

All should be working after that.

Well mine now works through even weirder means....

I had rebooted at least twice already, but this evening I restarted my pc, fired up itunes and I got a dialog telling me "windows is configuring itunes", running progress bars past me for a minute or so. When I opened messenger itunes+ worked again. Curious.

I've heard a couple people saying repairing iTunes seems to make the COM object work right again, so if you're still having problems with iTunes 7 and iTunes+, give that a try.

I found the way to fix this was not have volume at 100% in iTunes and just turn the volume up on the other controls for my sound, even just a little bit should fix this or at least it did for me.[/offtopic]


I have noticed lately that sometimes when I stop iTunes from playing my DP changes to the album art even though I haven't got changing to album art enabled.  Thi problem also happened when I was using iTunes 6 so it's not just an iTunes 7 problem.

Very nice script. Thanks alexp2_ad.

hey alex get ya move on with v1.5 v2 as you promised

I am afraid I have a bug to point out.

This is a once off bug after you first load Windows Live Messenger.

I have screen-captured the bug here:

http://wmwiki.com/mcored/research/itunes+/itunes+artwork-bug.zip

The Artwork does not get updated until you press the Messenger Plus! Live button.

Thanks,

Hey All,

I am trying to change the Now Playing format from the defaul t
%title% - %artist% to %title% - %artist% - [%album%]


by changing the following in tagsandcommands.js

    if(sTimerId == 'custompsm'){
        if(iTunesApp.PlayerState != 0){
            // Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = tagparse(listeningtopsm);
            Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = tagparse("%title% - %artist% - [%album%]");
        }
        else{ Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = origpsm; }
        MsgPlus.AddTimer('custompsm',1000);
    }

But it doesn't seem to be working.

Wonder what is happening guys.

Thanks for any tips and advices.

Cheers,
MocreD

still is a problem

Thanks,

Yes alexp2_ad,



I don't think the "What I'm Listening To" is configurable in the Options Window.

Alex he means the PSM bar so your PSm reads as

Chop Suey - System of a Down [Toxicity]
TITLE    -    ARTIST    [ALBUM]

Thanks aNILEator .



That's what I meant.

Get lyrics is not working for me?

Right, I decided to release my current beta 1.6.1 as a full release.  There are a couple things that still need fixing, few things I still want to do, but it's been far too long that 1.3.6 has been the version most people are probably using!  So new release, if you're using iTunes+ you should get an update but you can download it here:

http://msig.info/itunesplus/download2.php

Enjoy!

Thanks for the update.
Is there a change log for this version?

If you use iTunes, you'll wanna give iTunes+ a try... and if you don't... why not try iTunes, then give iTunes+ a try!

Feature List

• Control iTunes via commands and menu items, pause, skip tracks etc
  
• Can change your DP to the current album art
  
• Can easily show your contacts what you're listening to, and send it to them (or even copy it to the sharing folder), simply by typing a command or choosing a menu option
  
• It has a built in track editor so you can change incorrect details without even opening iTunes
  
• iTunes+ has a built in lyrics viewer that shows you lyrics saved in your iTunes Library or from the internet, and can save downloaded lyrics to your iTunes library
  
• Also includes other miscellaneous features, like showing your contacts stats about your iTunes library

iTunes+ also makes an excellent example script for developers looking to learn plus scripting, as it contains windows, events, COM objects, menus, commands, tags (with full [n] support), language options, registry reading/writing, file reading and interaction with the internet.

Here's a few screenshots of iTunes+ in action:

 

 

 

 



Please report bugs, make suggestions and... enjoy!


If you like iTunes+, please rate it in the script DB: http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/index.php?act=view&id=16

Does anybody else have the problem where iTunes+ constantly tries to download a new version?  Also, I downloaded the latest release from the link, but in the "about" screen, it still says 1.3.6 as the version.

Ooooh... One last thing.  Has anyone else had the problem (maybe it hasn't been considered a problem.  Instance?) where the display picture doesn't switch back to your original picture, but continues to be the album art.  Switching back (much like the PSM switches back) would be a nice feature.

Also, WLM 8.0.0812 and Plus! 4.01.0.240
Just in case it has anything to do with the problem... (Smilie)

I didn't really see it as a browser problem... but I could be wrong.

I removed iTunes+, cleared the cache, downloaded it with Internet Explorer: still didn't work.  Then I tried the same on another different computer, and tried to import that file.  Still 1.3.6.

Maybe it would be easier to email a copy to me?  I reinstalled to Plus! 4.10 and repeated, and that didn't help at all either.

Any other ideas?

This is great Alex! Now I can set the Now Playing to the format I want. Thanks heaps.

Seriously, though, can anybody email me the .plsc for this file?  For some reason it just won't work!  Nobody can figure out why!

[Edit:]  Thanks guys!  I got it and it's working!

Now your website to download it doesn't work?

Thanks very much

alexp2_ad i was having troubles with getting my psm as title - album - artist.. but works perfect now.. in fact its currently set as "%title% - %album% - %artist%  [%elapsed%/%time%] - Played %playcount% Time(s)" which looks good and works well, eg: Round Here - The Blue Carpet Treatment - Snoop Dogg [3:26/3:42] - Played 1 Time(s) and then even has the Album art with it

Only bug with this is its taking a bit of time to generate the itunes+ name, so its swapping between the standard "title - artist" name and my itunes+ name.. but eventually stays as the itunes+ name.. either way tis great, just though I'd let you know. thanks for the great script.

its been working pretty well, the time elapsed changes every 6 seconds in my name, but contacts can only see it change every 8 seconds or so.. but thats fine with me... having trouble getting into msn at the moment its reporting a malicious script so ive got to figure that out and hopefully the psm name might be working again... my whole computers a little screwed at the moment, i gave my memory away so its running on 256 till i get my gig delivered ha ha and right now ive been waiting 5 minutes just for live to open ha ha. cheers for the help alex. peace.

EDIT - but im in msn finial and its all working fine again, the names only ever to long when its a really long name, so mostly its fine. thanks mate. will.

Minor update:

* reduced line spacing in !sendme
* fixed page changing issue in !sendme
* scripting competition entry update

Download from the attachment.

don't know if this works with the new one but with the previous one, I had to go say yes in option everytime to make my avatar become the cover or it would not make it by itself.. But once I went to the option and said yes it works great.

tinpiliycfa, can confirm the issue. Happened to myself too.

Thanks for the new update alex.

Yeh, the avatar and PSM don't change on their own. I keep having to go into options and pressing save, to make it active.

yeah before all i had to do was click the plus logo and then the display picture would change, its not more annoying i have to go into settings and click save for it to start work. the thing i was fond of was haivng to click the plus icon, because it gave me an easy option to wether or not i wanted it to be changing my display, but now its annoying. I would love to see an easy quick command to stop it changing my display just so i can have my own picture up for a period, then a command to turn it back on once i want album covers going again.

what i actually came here to do was suggest a feature, something i would love to see. In convosation windows i would love an easy way to see what im listening to. Just text down the bottom or something telling me what is currently playing, the same title personal message.

this may have been a bit to much to read, but thanks for the script still. will.

Alex you gonna reply?

even more broken! its trashed actually... ha ha it wont change the display picture unless i save the setting, but it will only change once, so every time a new song plays i have to save settings again if i want the display to work... so yeah that features pretty much useless now and i really want it back.

i think i just fixed it.. just downloaded the one from the script data bass, and its changing again...

that happens to me too with and without the database version

Another great feature addition would be to revert back to last *manually* browsed Display Pic when the song is not playing.

Just to let some of you know, I spoke to alex a while ago, he's pretty busy with university stuff and hardly gets an internet connection ever (last i heard he was hanging out his window to get a slow dialup conenction via wireless) This may mean he has dropped his laptop since he's not online much these days

but I do know he has a slightly updated version himself and realises there are lots of bugs to fix (but I don't think he has the motivation to fix them these days) with 'the scene' being pretty slow at the moment I can't blame him.

Is anyone else having troubles with contacts attempting to download songs off you? They can see the first page but then nothing happens if they try to use > to move ahead

itunes+ 1.6.2 (database)
itunes 7.1.1
Vista Ultimate x64

Hello,
First of all, I apologize for my poor english.
There are a lot of page so I didn't read all those.
But I have a big problem...
I love Itune+ but the major part of time, when I search a lyric or album art, the log search but find nothing...
It's like searching never end and something block the search...
But sometimes it works so I don't understand...
I leave firewall, all is close. Anyone have an Idea?
Thank you.

The lyrics is because of the website. leoslyrics, the searches have errors alot, thats why you r getting bad results.

For some reason I can't install iTunes+, every time I try it gives me the error:

"An error occurred while importing the script files."

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate x32, and the latest version of iTunes.


Please help, I had this one of my other computers and I loved it and I would really like it on this one!
