O.P. REQ: Copying people's comments
Sorry if this has already been asked or has already been made... I've tried searching the forums and couldn't find anything sooooo....


Would it be possible to make a plugin which allows you to right-click on a contact's name and copy their comment, e.g. if they're listening to, let's say, 'Coldplay - Fix You' you can copy that to your clipboard. Similarly,  if they aren't listening to a song, you can just simply copy their comment...

Thanks,

George

AFAIK, there isn't a plugin to do this as yet, because it's not at all easy to do. The API doesn't provide access to the Personal Message, meaning that someone would have to work on some form of hack that would have to parse the text for the message. AFAIK, no-one's come up with such a parser yet.

By doing the one thing he used to say he wouldn't do: delving into the protocol.

Well... Music logger source code is released here, wouldn't that be the first part of this plugin?.. The next would just be to hook the right-click menu, which is still a bit difficulty, or you just find another way to let the user get this...
I don't know if the Music logger source is only able to get the text when it's a song PM, and not if it's a normal message...

not really... only the source code for the UBX packet parser is posted...
see Jedimark's reply to Music Logger Plus - Final - Version 2.3...

yep, and Music Logger also delves into the protocol and intercepts the UBX packets... (but Music Logger is a bit buggy though)

-------

As said before, there is no other way than packet sniffing and delving into the protocol to get the PSM info (at least no other known way).
