O.P. "now playing" script
Hi to all!
I hope this is the right place to write this. If not, I am very sorry.
I just installed the script "now playing" and I am having some issues here...
My main reason for instaliing this was the option "activate what I am listening" without using the bad windows media player. This script it is said to allow us to use the winamp. Anothe nice thing is that he changes our picture, replacing it by the cover of the music that is playing at the moment. very good :) This is working, but the music "that I am listening" doesn't! I am seeing it but my friends tell me that they can only see this "now playing  - ". 
Instead of the name of the music, they get a empty space.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Another thing: as we all know, without any script, this "now playing" feature works with windows media player (or itunes...), so now i have this doubt, should I , while using this "NOW PLAYING" deactivate this original option in the messenger menu?

Thanks in advance for those who may try to help me here.

Thanks for trying to help me, but i give up. That link didn't showed me nothing useful. I still can't see the music in my messenger. After reading pages and pages, I give up. it's not worth it. I am pissed of with myself for spending so many hours in this and with no results.
bah...

CALLIBAN, add yourself to your contacts list, that way you'll be able to see what your contacts can see, so you won't need to ask them.

I don't know if it's a problem with the script or a problem with WLM, but it may be worth reinstalling WLM in case, as well as doing the same with the script.

Thanks, man.
The strangest thing is that I can see (and of course my friends too...) the  little arrow but in its front there is no music name .
I only have "»-"
:(

Another strange thing: If i press this "-" I am directed to google page!! why ?! Could  it be something with the winamp itself? I've been looking...

And finally: I was thinking, what if I am wrong? With this script, my friends are supposed to see the song that is playing, right? Like before with windows media player...right?
I am asking this because the description of the script says something about sending the music we are listening to a friend...

You need to read what the script actually does before attempting to use it.

It allows you to change the format of the music in your personal message, as well as the (!WAT) command - which sends the artist and song title to your friends in a conversation ... and many other functions.

Have you opened the configuration yet? If not, you need to do so from the Scripts menu.

You need to select which player you're using from the Main tab, as well as check 'Enable updating your Personal message to your current song' from the PSM tab, etc. ...

messenger plus! > preference & options > General > Scripts

click on Now Playing in the list.
click Edit at the bottom where it says "Developers Only"  [Create New] [Edit]

at the top it says "Current Script File:" scroll down to "main.js"

at line 237 in main.js

replace the code with this

code:
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} {1}", parseSongFormat(player,playerName,format));

and click Save All
