When I try to run /xwinampnick in an IM window, Winamp just throws an illegal error.

(Winamp 5.03)

I dunno if its been implemented yet, but the auto update doesn't work.

no problems here

Winamp: 5.08c
Windows-versie: Windows 2000, 5.00.2195
Messenger-versie: 7.0.0425
Messenger Plus!-versie: 3.40.0112

Hmm, i'll update to the latest winamp and see.

EDIT: No change, still got illegal error, and no auto update.

Nickname changing commands:
"/xwinampnick"         : Update the nickname based on the current mask.
"/xwinampnick on"      : Enable the updating of the nickname.
"/xwinampnick off"     : Disable the updating of the nickname.
"/xwinampnick enable"  : Enable the updating of the nickname.
"/xwinampnick disable" : Disable the updating of the nickname.
"/xwinampnick config"  : Show the MPWinamp configuration window.
"/xwinampmask %1"      : Change the nickname mask to "%1".

I know how to change it, it worked before, in 0.80 . Just, if i'm playing a song in winamp and then type /xwinampnick then it "illegal error"s winamp and then changed my nickname to the stopped mask.

Which version of Windows are you using? The new song retrieval code only works on Windows NT-based systems (NT, 2000, XP). If you are using one of these OS'ses, could you please post the nickname mask and the information present in the file you're playing.

Bugs so far:
- when i close winamp, and i let %status get displayed. It doesn't say closed.
(Maybe you didn't code it in, if so, then please put it in)
- I managed to get "cda://H,7.cd" (example) when i showed a contact my path of the current song (yes it was a CD). The first time it worked though: "H:\Track04.cda"

---

-The %status not showing is a bug, I'll fix it.
-Hmmm, I'll check it out.

I still have some ideas:
- Ability to say, that if the tag (%artist, %album etc..) is bigger then x characters, you get ... behind the name
- Song2avatar (already requested), with ability to display current your mask, and the upcoming song
- Ability to share the song with a command, or maybe a sort of bot build in
- Totall album Numbers (so you can make a combo like this: %Artist - %song [%trackr/%tracktotall] ) (output would be Korn - Here to stay [7/19])
- What taz030485 says, if you close winamp, it restores your old nick (maybe you could give it up, what it is)

---

-The truncation of tags is an excellent idea, I will definitely put this in soon.
-Song2avatar is slight more complicated, maybe somewhere in the future.
-Ehm, by sharing the song you mean a command would initiate a file transfer of the song currently playing in Winamp? If this is correct I think it's an excellent idea. In fact, I do this myself often.
-The total numbers on an album is a good idea, but I don't know if it's possible. I'll look into it.
-The restoration of your nickname is one on my todo-list.

Thank you very much for all this valuable input, I'll keep you updated.

Will try the new release once the server is up... (Down atm)

I sure was surprised (in a good way), not in my wildest dreams could i have thought that you would implement my suggestion that quickly ErikSchierboom
But i have problems with the use, the plugin doesnt seem to recognise the command (!XFOLDER) or (!XPATH) what i hit the fasttext it only show just (!XFOLDER) or (!PATH) not the folder name or the path.

Yes, maybe you have 2 ways. One for the contact, one for yourself.
Like this:
/xshare - You sharing the current song to a friend
/xshareget - you friend asks, if he could get the current song, or the filetransfer will start, without you starting it.

Ofcourse its all optional.

Well, the cue has x numbers in it, maybe you can catch it

Hmmm, strange. I'll look into it.
