is 1.3.4 the same as the one we got from updating 1.3.3 in beta?

I have a bug to report. Its a bit strange, and i have no idea why its happening.

I have the default player set to Winamp. I also play stations from LastFM from time to time (like right now). Winanp is currently stopped. I start playing something in LastFM, and it will display in the PSM, instead of Winamp. I close Winamp, and the PSM reverts to <enter a message blah blah> After switching tracks, the new song info is displayed again (but still with Winamp as the selected player).

When I actually do switch to the LastFM player, it shows something similar to Diagnostics - undefined or undefined - undefined, until the next track is played.

switching back to Winamp again, shows as nothing playing until the track changes in LastFM again.

Did you understand all my gibberish?

Hey guys,

I ran into a bug after i updated from 1.3.0 or 1.3.3 (not sure) to version 1.3.4.
My hotkey no longer seems to work!
I've tried changing it as well as reinstalling the script but all to no avail.
It used to work without any problems at all before.
I use Winamp 5.5 for playing music and nothing else.

Im using:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Windows Live Messenger 8.1
Messenger Plus Live 4.23.0.276

Are you by chance trying to use the Global Hotkey in a messenger window? If so, then that's your problem, it no longer works in Messenger Windows, you got the other two options anyway. If your trying another window like Notepad or Firefox for instance, then there might be a problem.

Certain you haven't installed or changed another program that might be using the same hotkey and causing a conflict?

Other then that, I have no ideas.

-dt-, what's new in 1.3.4? Unless the release notes from Markus' screencap is those of 1.3.4, I didn't get an update window even when checking for update from versions 1.3.2, so... *Shrugs*

Hmm, you seem to be right...
It works fine in notepad.

I honestly want to keep using the Global Hotkey in a messenger window...so is there any change i can downgrade to 1.3.3 or 1.3.2?
Can i still download those somewhere?

If you want to go back to a version that still has this capability, then I believe you would need to go back to 1.3.0, I've been using 1.3.2 since -dt- released it on here as a 'Test' version or whatever and that's when I noticed the change. I even brought it up in this thread at the time.

A friend of mine was still able to send me the 1.3.0 version.
Thanks for the quick info though!

Hmm.. I didn't even know Now Playing has a global hotkey function. I always use Winamp Global Hotkeys to copy the song title.

To set Winamp Global Hotkeys:
Go to Winamp Preferences (Ctrl+P) -> (General Preferences ->) Global Hotkeys

and set a key for 'General: Copy title'

This works in every application or game I know (because it just copies the song title to the Windows clipboard. You have to paste it yourself).

It's found under the 'Misc' tab. Just FYI.

If somebody spams you with !sendsong you send them the file multiple times. Could you limit to one send at all?
