How long is long? I know there's a limit on the length of your media, but I'm unsure of the limit...it's reasonable enough d'oh.

long like this
PROJECT SOUL the PRIMARY SOUND BOX -SOUL EDGE~SOUL CALIBUR I & II-

is your plugin detecting the maximum amount of characters that it can display in msn? because i used the other most used plugin (foo_msnalt or something) and it cuts the album name.
i guess i just answered myself...when the album is too long to fit in msn now playing message...it doesn't display it.

No, unfortunately I didn't try and limit the number of characters.
I'll try and find out what the maximum length is...though my first hunch would be 256 .

It's not the highest on my priority list d'oh...hardly do we have any songs that are past the limit - besides, the now playing feature on MSN was only designed to have title and artist.

works great! I'm just wondering what the character limit is, some of my songs has long names and it refuses to display unless I shorten it.

Hi,
Thanks for this nice plugin.
I have a small suggestion: the preferences page should be located in the "Tools" category, that's where other "now playing" related plugins such as AMIP or Audioscrobller put their prefs.

It would also be nice if the plugin could report information about streams, i.e. not the item's name but the playing track.

Updated to 1.0.7 (I don't know where 1.0.6 went :x).

Fixes a bug where a crash may occur in very rare cases, reported by Peter. Thanks!

This is very odd then... I've never had any problems downloading any components from the developers here.

I respectfully ask for a mirror of the file, please!

I can't edit this last post or I would, sorry. I had a friend download it for me. Still very strange O__O

The limit seems to be rather a lot less than 256. It won't even display 200, although the limit does seem to be more or less in that area.

Love it. Better than the other plugins I've tried. I like that I can customize what's shown.

Great plugin, thanks for your hard work. If I may, can I suggest a feature for the next version?

As much as I like my music, some of it is too embarassing to have others see! 

I therefore wanted to use a code which gave me, say, 5 seconds to decide whether it displays or not. I tried this:

Code: [Select]
$ifgreater(%playback_time_seconds%,5,XXX,YYYY)

XXX being the information, let's assume %title% - %artist%, YYY eventually being nothing at all.

It seems that in Foobar, the aforementioned code can only be used in the status bar and main-window title. I'm guessing  this is because they focus only on the currently playing track, or constantly re-evaluate the code? Could a similar feature be included in the next version of your plugin, so that code like the aforementioned can work as intended?

Thanks a lot, I hope this is possible!

This code
Code: [Select]
$if(%ispaused%,,%title% '-' %artist%)

doesn't really work. The song title disappears on pause as it should, but does not re-appear when playback is resumed. I had to leave a space between the two commas, but that still sends a space character to WLM's display.

Using Win 7, WLM 9, Foobar2000 0.9.6.8, foo_wlm 1.0.8.
