Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Evan Barter (evandb) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: iChatStatus \"port\" Initial Comment: And by "port" I actually mean "blatant rip", but I digress. For those of you who don't know what iChatStatus is there are brief explinations at: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10115 and http://www.download.com/iChatStatus/3000-2146_4-10264544.html Basically, what it does is it is grab the name of the current song playing in iTunes and sets it as your Available Message (or "iChat status" as they've branded it). I figured since Gaim is the only other client that can see these Available Messages (or is that questionable?) someone should whip up something to stick it to our Mac'ers. Now, to be entirely honest with you, I am not a programmer, hence why I'm posting here to see if anyone else wants a crack. But the way I see it, all it has to do is poll Winamp (I am, of course, a Windows user) or XMMS on an interval and update the Available Message if it's different to the current one. Doesn't seem too hard, especially considering that the Winamp API seems well documented. I guess the other (slightly easier) solution would be to have your player export the currently playing song to a text file (which there are undoubtedly hundreds of plugins to do) and then have the Gaim plugin read the file and do as above. *shrug* As I said, not a programmer. Anyway. That's my idea. Anyone up for it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

Would you be able to release the source? Since I originally posted this message I've got in to C and I think I'd be pretty comfortable hacking your hack. ;) I'd especially like to see your liboscar patch and, although the ability to set available messages via an API call is supposed to be in Gaim2, the devs might like to see it too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Roark (antagonizt) Date: 2005-08-31 18:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231218 it's a hack... but here you go http://software.johnroark.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1073528&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
