The problem is: the Plus! plugin is triggered when you type a command or use a special tag. Those are the times I can return /nick commands for example... however, the other way around: updating the name when the media player changes it's song, is another story... then there's also the support for multiple media players, two of which don't require a plugin to get song information (so I don't plan on making plugins either)... all in all it wouldn't quite fit into the purpose of this plugin...


Oh, and the before-mentioned argument still counts of course. If there's anything I hate it's changing nicknames, people doing that get an instant Block & RemoveTM in my list... so it would be a bit ironic if I was to implement that function in my own plugin

Well, i dont see any problem in displayin' the song you're playin'...

Like... My name is often [color=3896B0]SL[/color]im Sh[color=3896B0]a[/color][color=46A42C]dy[/color]


I dont think it will be that terrible if it will be

[color=3896B0]SL[/color]im Sh[color=3896B0]a[/color][color=46A42C]dy[/color] [Lose Yourself]


You know... I think thats OK... At least i dont expct anyone in my list to block'n'delete me for that, you know

Well, that's your opinion, and you have all right to have one... but I've got mine, and mine's telling me to not implement this feature . Sorry, but this one won't make it... requires too much effort for something I don't want anyways... I'm sure there are other applications available to do it though, as it probably wouldn't work as a Plus! plugin anyways due to the technical difficulties I explained before...

Thats another reason


But yeah... Nickchanger would be nice but its not that nesessary...

The very nice and fast/easy thing will be (!XMP) command
I think it does not matter a lot if its /xmp or (!XMP), sorry if i'm wrong

But yeah, i know what you're busy, so we can wait a bit

But not too long

when i type /xmp
i get this
{MY NAME} says:
(no song currently playing)

when im playing a song....

Yeah, noticed that too for some songs. It only does that when the song contains a "-" character it seems. I added a workaround for a friend who edited the title of his songs to include the artist (so it would display that in the "Now Playing" list)... otherwise he'd get Artist - Artist - Title... but of course that workaround sucks, and it'll be fixed with the all new WYSIWYG editor where you can determine the output yourself...

i tryed puttin the - in it, but still no workin..

No, the - is what is causing it in the first place . Either remove it or live with it for now, the next version won't have this problem...

Now that I've read it again: the bug I was talking about adds "(no song currently playing)" in front of the actual song name... but I see you don't even get the song name, correct?

If so, make sure you have the WMP 9 plugin (something like Tools -> Plugins -> WMPlus in WMP)... might also need to change the current song to activate it... then try again...

I am listenin' to Party Up - DMX (from here) right now

If i type /xmp it displays Dilated Peoples - Worst Comes to Worst [03:36, playing]
Rating:

Worst Comes To Worst is indeed 3:36 minutes long and has a rating: 4 and exists in my library... but why the fuck does that song show up?

*The name of the song does not include any special characters, its just Party Up
