Shoutbox

If the album information is in the ID3 tag you can just use {album}

does this change your pm or is it only a command that sends the info to other people. because when i used this it dosent change my pm

It doesn't change your PM. You can use the command or the old (!WAT) (in case of Winamp) shortcut to let the other person know what you are listening to.

If you want to change your PM to the song you are currently playing in Winamp, I suggest you try the Winamp Media script or the MessengerAmp plugin for Winamp

BTW... Files with ID3v1 and v2 turned off, so files without ID3 information, also have an extra ' - ' in front of the title.

thats because {artist} is left blank in a stream... so {artist} - {title} , will become - stream name , the next version will include a some bbcode like [isnotstream]to fix this

^^ that applies to this aswell.

Hmm, yet another update on my troubles. I didn't notice the "/<function>" commands until I checked the first page just a moment ago, looking for the WMP command. Both the /np & /sendsong commands work beautifully. So, the problem seems to be isolated in the "Remote Commands", am I the only one having issues with the Remote Commands not working?

It might be something isolated on my PC, as I've noticed one other problem with MSN here in the last several days, when a new song plays, MSN shows it in the Now Playing (and after my name on the Contact List), then it disappears as if there's no media playing after anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds after it plays. Irritating, Lol.

Eitherway, maybe the further info might help you find the problem, or help narrow it down to being a problem with my PC.

Sorry for the double post, but given that my other was 4 days ago, I spose it's ok?

Eitherway, I think I have UNCOVERED what was causing my trouble with the Remote Commands! I sniffed it out, I did, I did! Lol. Ok, it seems that the problem occured after installing your next update after Aug 14th, I went back and made a copy of the Script Folder (containing the NEW files) and went to your site and overrode the files in the MAIN folder with all the files from Aug 14th (some being Aug 9th)

The remote commands worked great with the Aug 14th version, so I went in search of differences in the coding that might have caused it. I eventually narrowed it down to the "Main.js" file. Here's the chunk that seemed to cause it:

NEW Version (Doesn't Work)

code:

---

    if(origin != Messenger.MyName){
        if(remoteSong != -1 && remoteSong != ""){
            if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSong.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
                wnd.SendMessage(sendCurrentSong());
            }
        }
        if(remoteSend != -1 && remoteSend != ""){
            if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSend.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
               
                if(!transferSong(wnd,1)){
                    wnd.SendMessage(prefs.get('notrunning').replace('{player}',"unknown"));
                }
               
            }
        }
       
    }
}

And here is the code I replaced it with that now allows it to work:

Aug 14th Version (WORKS!)

code:

---

    if(remoteSong != -1 && remoteSong != ""){
        if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSong.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
            wnd.SendMessage(sendCurrentSong());
        }
    }
    if(remoteSend != -1 && remoteSend != ""){
        if(message.match(new RegExp("^" + remoteSend.replace(/([\[\]\|\)\(\*\?\+\.])/g, '\\$1') + "$","i"))){
           
            if(!transferSong(wnd,1)){
                wnd.SendMessage(prefs.get('notrunning').replace('{player}',"unknown"));
            }
           
        }
    }
}

This may just be a temperary fix. Is it something about my computer that didn't like the "    if(origin != Messenger.MyName){", or is this something that you could fix... either way, I hope my detective work helped you out some how (unless it was just my retarded PC afterall)

all the newbs in the house say yo!

sorry dt, but WMP support isn't happening for me

Windows Vista (6.0.5600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0812
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.246

Windows Media Player 11 I presume?
Is the 'True Launch Bar Remote Control' add-on for WMP turned on in WMP11?
