Congratulations on a fantastic plug-in!

Post by Marvelous »

Just a short note to say thank you, congratulations and good luck with this, and your other projects.
I've only been using Trillian Pro for about a week. Prior to that I used MSN Messenger. I liked the Now Playing function/plug-in in MSN/WMP and was worried that I wouldn't have that feature in Trillian.

It's true that the WinAmp plug-in is also available, but yours is more comprehensive. I would liked it to have worked with Windows Media Player, because that is my default, but I've also made the switch to WinAmp and it's also pretty good.

I do have few questions though;

a) the default listening message shows the Track, then the Artist (Listening: %S% %U%). Is it possible for me to select different ID3 tags to be displayed? i.e. Album, Artist or Album, Artist, Track #?
b) you say that it is possible to edit the URL that is displayed (http://www.cgsoftlabs.ro/images/trilltt.jpg), but I don't see how - could you clarify this please?
c) you also state that you can select random away messages read from an external text file - again, could you explain how I could set this up?
d) what would it take for you to develop plug ins for other media players?

Once again, thank you for your hard work. I'm sure it is making many people very happy.

Hi

Glad to see people which njoy my work.

WinAmp plugin has a little bug ( a window which pop-up each time the away is changed , also this will grab the focus for popup menus and things like this ) very ugly, annoying;

a) you can set those from winamp via Preferences..look there'
b) don't thing I understand u; try to remove "%u%" from "Listening: %S% %U%"..and muy url will not be displayed;
c) create a text file an write the away messages you want; one line = one message; see "status.txt" inside "TrilliWamp" directory; you mau select this file form trilliwamp settings page and enable this option;
d) time, money;

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Your answers were all very helpful.

a) Got it. I see that now. Forgive me. Your instructions in the program are actually very clear.
b) I wasn't talking so much about removing your URL, more programming it with my own. On the link I gave, it shows entirely different URL (http://www.cgsoftlabs.ro/images/trilltt.jpg), how would one go about getting their own URL to display?
c) Again. I think I understand you now (90-95%). Thanks.
d) I think I might be able to help with both of those if you're interested. - Just send me a PM and we'll start a dialogue going :wink:

All the best! Keep up the good work! :D
