Winamp song in away message??

[Fedia]

I have been looking all over for that plugin. Today I've found two of thos(!) but noone seems to work :(.. Can someone guide me how to make them show the currebt song in Winamp.

The plugins are:
~~~~~~~~~~

1. Yet Another Winamp Notifier 1.0.1.0
(http://www.miranda-im.org/download/d...iewfile&id=541)

2. WinampNotify 1.7.4
(http://www.miranda-im.org/download/d...iewfile&id=305)



Thanks in advance! :)

[cojones]

did you follow the steps included with the documentation that comes with the plguin(s)

[Fedia]

It said to install it in the default plugins' dir (C:\Program Files\Miranda IM\Plugins). I've even tried to put each plugin in seperate dirirctory.... Nothing....

[Fedia]

Strangly the plugin *wasn't* enabled by default, so I needed to go to Options>YAWN and check "change away message"


Thank you anyway!

u can also use AwaySysMod, and type in your status message the variable %winampsong%, and it will display the current track in winamp..

Did you install a popup-plugin?

PopUp Plus 2.0.3.8:

Both plugins won't work without it.

I think that the first two plugins mentioned (or at least one of them) just pop up telling you the new song name/author and other information.
As someone stated before, a way to achieve what you want (having your song in the status message, wasn't it?) is to use AwaySysMod and Variables plugins (both together) and set the message to the variable %winampsong% in AwaySysMod. Or, there is another way, using Simpleaway (which for %winampsong% does not need the variables plugin, but it does for other variables). I think there's a difference between both ways, but I'm not sure as I don't use this feature myself: with Simpleaway your status message changes everytime the song changes, with AwaySysMod/Variables it only changes when you change status (so, if you changed two hours before it will be the song you were playing 2 hours before!).

Hope it helps. Let me and other users know if this information is completely accurate. TioDuke.

[...] with AwaySysMod/Variables it only changes when you change status (so, if you changed two hours before it will be the song you were playing 2 hours before!).
TioDuke.

No.
It does also change the name if there's another song.
Dunno which version you are using. I'm using 0.3.4.1, because the other ones are more or less buggy.

okay, little tutorial (hope it will be useful for someone)


Song in status messages:
for showing song what is currently playing now use
>>> AwaySysMod 0.3.5.0 (unfortunately it doesn't update song automatically - only when status set) or
>>> SimpleAway 1.6.1.1 (it has auto-update "now playing" function) with the latest
>>> Variables by UnregistereD (my personal respects for that :) )

Put this into options (guess where :) ):

Now playing:$crlf()
$if2(%winampsong%,<nothing is playing now>)

in this case if something is playing you get:

Now playing:
Depeche Mode - Violator (1990) - World in My Eyes

(it's foobar2000 string, player and string tuning dependant)


in case if plays nothing:

Now playing:
<nothing is playing now>

>>> Winamp and foobar2000 0.8.3 (foo_winamp_spam plugin needed) works okay


Popups:
Toaster - exists in versions for Winamp (v0.7.4) and foobar2000 (v0.1.6)

Looks like this (even this default look is pretty good):



>>> WinampNotify v1.7.5 beta - works with foobar2000 too (foo_winamp_spam needed)


foobar2000 only:
>>> Miranda IM Notifier 0.8 - no comments :) just look at this screenshot.

>>> Pretty Popup 1.0.4 - screenshots:

If you use the latest Variables and experience parsing fault in AwaySysMod or SimpleAway then replace "$" symbol to "?", like:

$crlf() => ?crlf()
$if2 => ?if2

(thanks UnregistereD for hint :) )

WinampNotify stopped working for me, actually, for some reason I haven't figured out just yet. I can't get it to give a popup either with foobar and _winamp_spam or with winamp directly. It's probably my fault, like, but it'd be nice to work out what was stopping it working.

_mim_notifier is great.
