You are right though, WMP support is lacking. I got it to work after installing the renamed "Windows Live Messenger Music Plugin" that came with the latest version of Windows Live Messanger. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2007-02-03 00:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 Originator: NO antagonizt, thank you for a cool little plugin. One request that I would like to make, if you get the chance, is to allow for the ability to customize the message output, using placeholders. So, you could configure to display the title, album, and artist, using %t, %al, %ar, for example. Format: %u is listening to %ar - %t (%al) Outputs: <username> is listening to Artist - Track (Album Name) Thanks again =) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2007-02-02 22:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 Originator: YES 2.0.0 beta6 release * build for beta6 * fix several crash bugs http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.92.zip?download ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-10-27 20:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 2.0.0 beta4 release * build for beta4 * added option to remove amazon.com links from text replacement and userinfo http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.91.zip?download ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: mookieproof (mookieproof) Date: 2006-10-21 21:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1626587 Sadly, doesn't seem to be working with 2.0b4? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jiaz1 (jiaz1) Date: 2006-05-26 00:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1511044 sorry. i thought the plugin was causing the crash, but now it appears okay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-05-26 00:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 jiaz1, I'm confused?

I'll look into it. I'm thinking of adding a "Custom" option where the user finds the Window class name of their favorite media player and specifies the format of the title string. For example Winamp would be: Window Class: "Winamp v1.x" String Format: "%num%. %artist% - %album% - %title% - Winamp" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: GRAD (gradvmedusa) Date: 2006-05-22 06:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1526497 Would it be possible to add support for Rhapsody?

Is it possible for you to make it simply type out the Song, and not link to Amazon? Or perhaps have the option of choosing whether or not to do link to Amazon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: hazexp (hazexp) Date: 2006-05-14 08:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1483851 Fixed all errors I had. Thanks for the fix. Only slight annoyance I have is the lack of foobar2000 0.9.1 song detection. However, an easy workaround was using the winamp API plugin for foobar.

I only have one question. Is it suppossed to put the track info in the user info in the form of a link? Instead of simpley say artist - title, it makes arisit-title a link to a amazon.com search for the album. i'd rather have it j/ display it. other than that, thx. *claps* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-13 11:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 new release 0.8 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.8.zip?download * allow /track replacement in chats * add official gaim cmd alias for /track * fix for stupid bug causing loss of status/info when itunes art was enabled ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ZAP (michaelzap) Date: 2006-04-09 03:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1079093 Ditto the Paused/Quiet text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2006-04-09 03:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 Maybe it would be a good idea to allow the /track text to be configurable?

(see http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3 for docs) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-07 19:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 rem25, If you can consistantly reproduce this please file a bug with as much detail as possible (OS, Gaim version, plugin version, number and types of accounts logged in, options selected, media player used, specific song title if applicable, and the steps to reproduce) Here is a direct link to file a bug report: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=151509&atid=781222 jaysscholar, please file a bug about the userinfo (see above comment to rem25). If all you are typing is /track make sure you have "Send unknown "slash" commands as messages" checked in your Gaim preferences. duerra, please see above about configuring Gaim for /track if it applies. All, I appreciate everyone who is using/testing and reporting problems with this plugin. Unfortunetly it's just me working on it and I have no QA team so bugs do slip by (often). There were some major changes to the code base for these last two releases and I'm sure there are some bugs to be worked out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2006-04-07 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 /track doesn't seem to work in IRC chat rooms, but at least appears to work for AOL chats. I've not had any other issues, but I don't use it for any other reason, so.... Would be nice to not always have to display a link to Amazon when using "/track", but it's really a minor request, and I definitely appreciate the feature and time taken to implement it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jaysscholar (jaysscholar) Date: 2006-04-07 15:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1343634 is it just me, or does this plugin not work at all anymore? all it does for me is put the album art in the icon. it doesnt put the current track in the user info anymore. and the /track still dont work for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: rem25 (rem25) Date: 2006-04-07 15:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1379699 Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running the newest version on XP and it's great. The only problem is whenever I have the "Query Amazon.com...." box checked, my CPU shoots up to 99% for gaim. Dunno if it's just my machine or if anyone else has experienced this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-07 08:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 WOW That was fast! New version 0.7 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.7.zip?download Upgrade to 0.7 it actually supports "/track" command aliasing. (0.6 just pretended to...) I also added direct support for Musicmatch Jukebox. Hopefully anyone with the update notifications turned on was prompted about this on startup... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-06 18:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 Right, that's a feature of this release. Type "/track" and it is replaced with "artist - title". Make sure to read the INSTALL.txt so you'll have everything set up properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2006-04-06 17:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 For example, I could type "/music" to a buddy, and it would be processed to put insert the artist/track/whatever as a replacement for my text and send that instead. I see so many of these plugins that will place your song as your status message, but it's not something I personally want to broadcast to the world, but something I'd like to be able to inform friends of quickly on command. I don't know if any of you are familiar with Trillian, but essentially I'm looking for something that works similar to the Winamp plugin for Trillian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-06 17:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 what is a command alias? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2006-04-06 13:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 Any word on potentially using this with a command alias, instead of simply as profile text? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-04-06 08:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 New version 0.6 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.6.zip?download Lots of changes and new features * /track in conversation replacement * query amazon.com for album art (all you non iTunes users enjoy) * add amazon.com search link to /track replacement and userinfo * better parsing of foobar, rp, and winamp text * support for "MSN Messenger Music Plugin" API * auto update notifications (so you don't have to check here anymore) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-03-30 21:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 jaysscholar wrote: >Is there a way to edit the font and/or size of the text >displayed?? >Is there a way to not show 'Paused' when the player >is paused? Maybe just keep displaying the last song? The only place the font could be edited would be in the user profile (AIM only). This may be possible when I add support for customizing the track format. It seems lots of folks don't like the "Paused"/"Quiet" messages. I plan on making this customizable in a future release. Now everyone go test this with gaim beta3! ;) John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ZAP (michaelzap) Date: 2006-03-25 15:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1079093 Thanks!

That caused GAIM to crash with an error about needing to provide an Away message. After that launching GAIM would make that or other (similar) errors pop up until I quit WinAmp. Maybe you could sanitize the input text more before passing it on to GAIM so that us furriners could use your plug-in? Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2006-03-06 09:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 can you go to the project page and post this probelm with more detail on the public forum? http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=506117 I need to know what protocols you are using, what options you have set in the plugin options, what media player you are using, if there is anything odd about the track that is playing, if you already have text set in your user info for the affected account, etc...

For example, typing /music would cause the plugin to send a message displaying the artist/album/track/whatever per formating specified in the configuration.

I thought with the gaim-amaroK plugin now floating around I'd have a go at "porting" this. dbus makes it easy to grab the tune out of amaroK and the Gaim-Rhythmbox project (http://gaim-rhythmbox.sourceforge.net/) has been around for ages, and as I check the page right now, it appears it was updated semi-recently with available messages. I've come up against some of the semantics of Gaim plugin developing however. I was going to do something very similar to what you've done with your Windows version. I figure I'll just fork and have the child continually read/update/sleep while the parent waits on the child. What I don't understand is how to properly unload the plugin and kill the child process at that time. If you've got any ideas I'd like to hear them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-27 11:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 I'll look into figuring out how to prevent it from bringing you back from away...

Whenever I click away, it works fine at first, but after a few seconds, the plugin updates the available message, and my loopback contact shows that I am no longer away. I think the solution is to not update if there is an away message present. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ant (itchysoft_ant) Date: 2005-09-24 00:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1186610 Don't use AIM so I'm not using this plugin but I've been following it with interest. Updating the buddy icon is a pretty clever idea, original too. Not seen that in other plugins. Just wanted to say, nice one :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-23 23:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 Another update, the plugin can now set your buddy icon based on the album art from iTunes. download it here: http://software.johnroark.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jaysscholar (jaysscholar) Date: 2005-09-13 20:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1343634 is there a way you can get it to display in another area that's supportted by AIM itself? let's say next to the screen name or in the profile? just wondering ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-13 20:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 it is only displayed in AIM clients that support the Available status message (iChat, gaim, trillian 3.0 etc...) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jaysscholar (jaysscholar) Date: 2005-09-13 03:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1343634 hey, are u sure it works in AIM? ppl who have AIM cant see it. i can see it through gaim but nobody who has AIM can see it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-09 04:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 new version (09/08/2005) fix for long track names not displaying fix for track names with UTF8 multibyte chars added browse dialog for selecting file to get track info from ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nyhil (nyhil) Date: 2005-09-08 10:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1180850 True, msn doesn't support an available message. Actually, to tell the story, I once used "dMSN", which is an msn client, and allows you to add the currently playing song at the end of your nickname. In the software options, where you enter your nickname, you add a code at the end of it, like %winampcurrentsong , %winampsongposition, and so on.. I'm trying it right now and it seems to be working well. This is the thing I've been seeking for Gaim. And as I've seen it in another software, I thought it would be something that could be done for Gaim, though I don't know anything about code and stuff.. PS : if you will excuse my bad english.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-03 19:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 If you have the text file open the plugin will be unable to read from it. Otherwise I'm not sure what could be happening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan Barter (evandb) Date: 2005-09-03 06:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1166467 Sorry to bombard you with comments, but I've got a bug that I can't figure out and I can only reproduce it some times. It does only happen when attempting to read from a file. Basically, it just doesn't update. This screenshot kind of shows it: http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/7434/npbug1vz.jpg It shows a track that was playing and the textfile where the currently playing information is written to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan Barter (evandb) Date: 2005-09-03 05:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1166467 MSN7 does support a "now playing" sort of thing, however I doubt it would be possible/worth implementing in Gaim. Thanks for the new version, antagonizt. I took a quick look around MSDN for information regarding how you could pull data from WMP, but I couldn't find anything. I'll keep looking and report back, along with any other bugs I find. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-03 05:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 nyhil, I don't think such a plugin is possible for MSN, Yahoo, or ICQ. I don't think any of those protocols support an "Available Message" like AIM. evandb, I updated the files on my site. Should fix the problem you were seeing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan Barter (evandb) Date: 2005-09-03 04:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1166467 Bug: Firing up Gaim with the plugin loaded and set to read from file which is empty (I assume the same thing occurs if it creates an empty file) seems to max CPU use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nyhil (nyhil) Date: 2005-09-02 14:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1180850 Hi. I've been looking for a similar plugin for msn. Do you know if it already exists (haven't found it) and/or if it is something that can be done? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-02 04:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 Oh yeah I attached the source and updated the binary package still available here: http://software.johnroark.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-02 04:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 I updated the plugin so that you can use it with Winamp or any other player that will let you save the track name to a file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan Barter (evandb) Date: 2005-09-02 03:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1166467 Whoops, wasn't logged in for last comment. Anyway, there's a slight bug with a plugin with long artists/song titles. It causes the "Paused" message to be displayed. Looking through the code, it's possible that this is an iTunes limitation, but I can't be sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2005-09-02 00:22 Message: Logged In: NO Thanks for this. I did see what you did with the oscar code and thought it was clever, and you're probably right about the patch not being accepted. I know that the status system is being rewritten entirely, I'm just getting a little antsy waiting for it. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-09-01 18:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 It is possible. I'm planning on adding a UI that will let the user select how they want to get the track info. Right now I think it will be directly from iTunes, directly from Winamp, or from a file. I'll update whenever I get a chance to update the code/plugin. I don't think the gaim devs would be interested in the hack... I actually chatted with them a while back and was told that the change I wanted was coming. I just abused the set_chat_topic function pointer so that it could acces the internal oscar code to set the available msg. I'll make a diff anyway... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Evan Barter (evandb) Date: 2005-09-01 10:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1166467 Sorry for spreading my comments across two topics now, but I figure this will be both more applicable and more useful to others here, plus I found the source here. Would it be possible to read from a text file, rather than hooking in to iTunes? That way, people may use this plugin together with something like http://amip.tools-for.net/index.php?content=about and their favourite music player, rather than just iTunes. Also, could you create and submit a .patch for your oscar changes? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=390395&aid=1277781&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
