Summary: Facebook plugin

Initial Comment:
Plugin to incorporate facebook into pidgin.

Installation:
Save the file to the libgaim/plugins directory
Go to facebook and create a developer api key and signature: http://developers.facebook.com/account.php?action=add_key
Edit the source file and change API_KEY_HERE and SECRET_HERE to your api key and secret. (Around line 36)
run "make facebook.so" in the libgaim/plugins directory and copy the file to your plugins directory

Usage:
When you load the plugin, you should get a notification telling you to go to a link. Click the link and login to facebook. Then click on Close in the notification window.
Now, if all goes well, you can right click on a buddy and click "Assign Facebook User". A list of users should come up. Pick who it is and click OK.
Now when you either get a tooltip of the buddy (keep the mouse hovered over the buddy) or get the user info (right click, get info) you will see a Facebook Status.

Some notes:
This is still in the works. I plan on adding some other features.
I really, really wanted to pull up a list of screen names from facebook, but the API doesn't let me.
Neither I, or this plugin, are in anyway affiliated with facebook, pidgin, AOL or anyone else who might sue me. And I'm broke, so it's pointless anyway.

this seems like a really good plugin. Can you please offer directions or
perhaps make an installation package for windows users? I would really like
to use it. Thanks

Summary: message splitter

Initial Comment:
A simple plugin to split up large messages above a
certain (user-defined) threshold. Useful to avoid
protocol size limitations. Currently it may split
whole words and HTML tags/formatting. Fixes for those
are on the TODO list.

I heard a request for this on #gaim and didn't find any
up to date so I slapped one together.

My first plugin submission I hope I haven't violated
(m)any rules.

yeah, using the code that's posted here I can't make it work. I had
pkg-config --modversion gaim set to the correct version, and ran make
splitter.so and then make install and tried running gaim. Every time I
tried sending a message, gaim crashed, and only when message splitter was
enabled. I'll try the other one and put a stacktrace up later if it still
doesn't work.

The source should work for Linux. Make sure your:

$ pkg-config --modversion gaim

is the current (2.0.0beta6) version. Otherwise, the best way to make the
plugin:

$ cp splitter.c gaim-2.0.0beta6/gtk/plugins/
$ cd gaim-2.0.0beta6/gtk/plugins/
$ make splitter.so
$ cp spliter.so ~/.gaim/plugins/

I should probably include that in the README.

This release snuck up on me. Here is the newest DLL. You guys are right,
the code posted is the newest -- I am working on a few bug fixes and
compatibility issues but it's going to change how the plugin works a little
so I have been hesitant. It's great to see so many people request updates,
I'll work on my turn-around time for releases.

As always, if you have any issues or suggestions post them and I'll try
and get back to you.

I went to the url listed, put splitter-current.dll in my plugins
directory, gaim compiled and ran, however whenever i sent a message gaim
crashed. (using windows xp, gaim 2.0.0beta6, latest version of gtk, logged
onto AIM protocol if it matters, etc etc). Gaim runs fine when i remove
splitter from the gaim plugins directory. Just offering input, as I'm sure
all users of gaim on windows would benefit from having this plugin
function.

In his source code he lists a url where u can get the current version. It
is:
http://ikebo.hypermart.net/splitter/splitter-current.dll
However, it isnt so current. It is version beta5, however i put it in my
gaim plugin directory and it works just fine. No need to updated it i
guess. I was under the impression beta6 checked to make sure all pluggins
had been updated to version beta6, guess not.

I have to agree with the earlier poster, it would be useful to have the

Even if there are aspects of the code that could be better or neater its
still useful to have the source available

Yeah, it appears the plugin slashexec is causing a crash when used with
this plugin. I have a fix for this in the works but I am holding off on
putting it up until I test the splitting algorithm a little more
thoroughly. I'll make sure and take a look at what is going on with OTR
when I do. Thanks for the reports.

Hi,
I am having an issue with the OTR plugin if your message splitter plugin
is enabled
See
http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/pipermail/otr-users/2006-November/000797.html

If I disable the splitter plugin then everything works as expected and I
don't see the ?OTR:<crypted-stuff> in the log window for my own messages

Is there any possiblility that you could take a look at how your plugin
is interfering please

Thanks

Hmm, I can't duplicate the crashing but I will look into it. If anyone
else is having a problem and would like to report a backtrace try using
this dll:

http://ikebo.hypermart.net/splitter/splitter-debug.dll

It's got all the debug info in it so it might show something interesting.
Make sure you remove other splitter dlls so you know which is which on the
list.

Things might smooth out once Gaim 2.0.0 leaves beta.

Thanks for all the support guys. Sorry about the delay on this, I plan on
keeping it up to date with Gaim releases but the last release had some
changes that required a bit of work to get my windows build environment
squared up to. But the beta5 DLL is finally built and the code for beta3
should compile and work just fine still for *NIX users.

I'll try and get these updates out more timely in the future.

It would be nice to see this working with the latest gaim build, the older
version was working just fine until beta 3 (including all of the
nightly/periodic builds available at geddeth) but since beta 4 it doesn't
even show up in the plugin list....

It was very very useful and due to the number of IM protocols that limit
message size I would even suggest that this should be a core part of gaim

v0.95 is the first release that uses Pango to split up
messages in a more language neutral manner.

Try it if you dare. I am expecting a number of bug reports
with this one as I have only tested it in the en_US locale.
Leaving info like locale/OS/Gaim version with the report
would be helpful too.

Hah, no problem. It was a pretty significant bug. I'm just
glad to see others besides myself are using this plugin. I
stuck your name in the contributors list.

There are probably going to be a couple of updates the next
few days while I have some free time. I don't have any new
features planned except for Unicode support at some point.

In the mean time, keep the bugs/requests coming. Thanks and
enjoy.

I finally took a look at util.h. I assume we're talking
about gaim_markup_slice(), right? Did you read the notice
about the offsets being character offsets, not byte offsets,
and are relative to the unformatted version of str?

I've never used that function, nor have I looked at its
code. If it is broken, I'd love to see a patch. It seems to
be used in the command API (src/cmds.c).

There we go, I upped v9 which supports proper HTML
formatting over message splits. This version dropped the
“split around whole word options,” as I think everyone uses
it so it should probably be the default behavior.

It required a lot of changes and I have only tested it a
little, so let me know about any problems.

Thanks for the good words, and thanks for the tip rlaager.
I am surprised I didn’t notice that function before, it is
exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, as it is, it either
serves another purpose or is broken. I fed it a few simple
IMHTMLized messages and asked for splits and all I got back
was some broken closing tags appended to the end of the split.

I re-wrote it, copying the general idea of how it works
(copied a helper function too), and stuck it in this plugin.
I’ll look at it a little more and if it does turn out to be
broken I’ll submit a patch for review.

For what it's worth, I think there might be a function in
Gaim's util.h that splits HTML properly.

I noticed that the message splitter, when splitting pasted
conversations, it will sometimes split the tags for color,
size, etc. If you can, make it find tags and split outside
them. Other than that though, great plugin. It allows me to
laugh whenever people say: "Argh! My message is too long!
Dang AIM."

Thanks again.

The holidays have been pretty hectic over here, but
investigating this bug is my next priority once I get some
free time.

And if you are interested in Gaim plugin development I would
recommend first scanning the FAQ
<http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q93>. If you are
planning on doing it in Windows, then there is a stack of
apps you need to download and install first:
<http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/build.php>.

The gaim source comes with a few example plugins in the
plugins/ dir -- simple.c is the boilerplate for a plugin in
C and a good place to start. From what I understand it is
possible to write plugins in Perl, Mono, and Python (using
PyGaim plugin), I don't know about the current state of any
of those other language bindings for Gaim myself though.

This is a start, if you have any specific questions you can
e-mail me and I'll try and help.

Hey Ike just wanted to see if you have made any progress
with the bug, i know that programming is a challenge, I
just finished my visualbasic.net course at college,
although i wouldnt really call that programming LOL.
working with Gaim and checking around sourceforge has
really shown me how much i might enjoy programming and i
was just wondering if you could recommend anyway for me to
get started writing a Gaim plug-in, is there any tutorials
that you know of off hand that might help me out? off
topic i know but good luck with the bug and keep up the
great work!

I updated the source for use with 2.0.0beta1 and uploaded a
pre-built win32 DLL for windows users.

I am still looking at away-related bugs. I wasn't aware of
any away functionality this plugin interacted with. Thanks
for bringing this to my attention and the further
correspondence. I will have a more complete
response/solution in a few days hopefully.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to
maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to
continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin
and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days.

Ok well i am new to this whole bug reporting part but i am
experiencing a problem with both the win32 prepared .dll
and the one 0.8.150.dll listed below. I had planned to use
this plug-in to split mainly away messages, i usually like
to just throw up whole song lyrics but with the limits in
place i often had to cut songs in half or edit them. So i
intalled your plug-in, posted a long song lyrics as an
away message and then i attempted to IM myself on a
different account to the away screen name (both on gaim)
the bug cause gaim to completely crash. If you need any
more information or a log file just tell me how to obtain
it and ill be sure to post it up for you, but other then
that great idea for a plug in and i cant wait till it
works!

I *finally* got the crash to reproduce and I think I tracked
the bug down and fixed it. It�s hard to tell for sure if it
was the main cause because it�s so hard to reproduce, but a
big crash bug was fixed in v0.8 either way. You guys can
probably tell better than me.

Thanks a ton for the support on this one, itchysoft_ant and
mgilb81. I never would have found this bug without the
feedback and reports. I listed your names in the ChangeLog
and README files.

I FOUND OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK WITH IMAGEIM AND WITHOUT
CRASHING! I just opened up Preferences, turned off ImageIM,
IM a bot(you might not need to do this, I dont know if this
"workaround" will work without doing that or not), then turn
on ImageIM and voila. The problem is fixed. I dont know if
Gaim will crash if you restart it and IM someone without
using my "workaround" and Im not going to try to see if it
will or not either :P. I hate having to open up task
manager to close down Gaim whenever I want it to close. It
always comes up with some stupid "Illegal Operation"
message. Stupid Windows.

The RPT is a big help though, thank you. I sent an e-mail

Forgot to add, my splitter settings are,

300 characters, 1000ms delay and I am splitting around
words. Sometimes the crashes occur when I send much much
less that 300 chars, eg a simple line or url, or just type
1<enter>2<enter> etc and so on really fast.

That would be very helpful, I didn't realize there was a way
to get a backtrace for a win32 client short of installing
all the build dependencies.

I am working on the issue, I appreciate the notice about the
imageim plugin possibly conflicting, thats a good place to
start.

The splitter plugin is completely self-contained but it does
emit a lot more signals now than it used to, I think that
might be playing a role. I'll follow up on this issue.

Perhaps obtaining a backtrace RPT might help ike_ figure
this one out. Have a look at

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/#debug

Also, it might be helpful to reproduce this error while no
other plugins are loaded?

I've had some strange crashes in teh last week or so,
atfirst I thought it was message splitter but the crash
report pointed to imageim plugin.

Of course it could be both affecting each other...

I am using the Windows dll version of this plugin. My
settings are as follows:
Letter Count: 786
Delay Time: 500 ms
And Split Around Words.

I have many plugins installed on Gaim now, so if you think
that there might be conflicting plugins here, then just tell
me and I will provide you with all of the plugins that I
have, and their corresponding settings.

Yikes, thanks for the report. I had a feeling the big
changes I have been putting in lately may lead to some
problems. I'll spend some time trying to reproduce the
problem.

Are you running the win32 dll? What kind of settings do you
have set up in the plugin (split-size, delay-time)?

After I close out of Gaim 1.5.0 about 3 or 4 or so times,
whenever I try to messenge someone, Gaim crashes, and I have
tracked down the source of the crash to this plugin. I had
to unenable it so I could messenge people again. I think
that this is something that needs to be fixed ASAP.
Especially if youre like me and you install plugins for Gaim
all the time which requires you to restart Gaim. When I
reenabled this after unenabling it(without restarting my
computer or anything) it still crashed Gaim. People can
send me messages and stuff, but I cant send them any
messages without Gaim crashing. Right now this plugin will
remain disabled until a updated and hopefully less bug free
version of it comes out. I think that this plugin will help
me out a lot when Im typing long messages to people and
stuff, which is why I hope that I can safely reenable it
when the next version comes out so I can use it.

I�m surprised it worked at all for chats, I only had support
in for IM conversations. But I can see why it could be
useful on IRC occasionally so I popped in chat support in
v0.7. I�ll lay off the updates for a while and work on
rlaager�s suggestions. Those are good ideas.

If anyone has any more, lay them on me.

Seems to be working ok after some intial testing. I can now
avoid being kicked from irc for excess flooding immediately,
although it does happen eventually for larger amounts of text.

Do IRC servers measure how much text you send over a certain
time (in multiple msgs) as well as in one msg? Seemed so to
me, and if so, then it looks like this tool won't have such
a bad potential for abuse.

Thank you for the effort you've put into this, the plugin
will help alot when pastebins arent an option.

I haven't looked at this plugin, but it sounds useful in concept. I may
try it at some point, but I'm going to note my suggestions before I
forget them. First, I hope you're using the Pango functions to break
text, so that whitespace is handled properly across all languages.
Second, it'd be nice if the size were customizable on a per-account
basis (and since I haven't looked at this other than the text here,
forgive me if it's already implemented).

Hah, yeah, this plugin definitely has the potential for
malicious use. Thats probably the reason one isn�t included
with all the other default plugins. But hopefully most gaim
users are mature enough to play nicely.

.6 is up and it has the delayed sending option. Lemme know
if there are any problems, I haven�t tested it too thoroughly.

Been working great for me. Any chance of adding an optional

Thank for the good words. It encouraged me to get off my
butt and update the plugin a little.

v0.5 can optionally split messages while not breaking whole
words now (split at nearest whitespace < split size) by default.

This tracker page is the primary source for this plugin, I
will make sure it says most up to date.

You kinda screwed up the alias thing. If you specify an
alias under accounts and then you enable the message
splitter plugin, the alias you specified isn't recognized.
Other than that, very useful and I like it.

Summary: Instant Math (LaTeX) plugin

Initial Comment:
This is a plugin which uses LaTeX to render math
expressions in IM and chat conversations. It has been
inspired by Kirill Zorin's TeXIM plugin (to which,
great thanks; I have borrowed ideas from it, and its
source was very helpful in understanding the weird
intricacies of using images in Gaim) and also by the
KopeTeX plugin for Kopete.

It supports both Gaim 1.x and 2.x (it has been tested
mostly with Gaim 1.5.0, 2.0.0-beta3 and beta4.)

It is intended to be compatible with both TeXIM and
KopeTeX, and supports all three existing syntaxes:
KopeTeX-style "$$MATH$$", TeXIM-style "\tex TEXT", and
the older-TeXIM-style "/tex TEXT". KopeTeX-style
equations -- the most friendly syntax, in my opinion --
can be embedded in longer messages (up to a maximum of
16 equations per message.)

Two different security models are supported:
- a simple blacklist of forbidden commands (I have
collected a list of these from various sources; I'm no
TeX guru, and I'd really appreciate comments from
someone who is.)
- the highly-secure (though more limited in
functionality) 'texvc' tool from the MediaWiki project,
which parses everything beforehand and checks all
commands against a whitelist.
In addition, the plugin allows you to enable/disable
LaTeX on a per-conversation basis. LaTeX is enabled by
default for all conversations, but you can change this
through the preferences.

Finally, this plugin is somewhat more customizable than
either of its predecessors.

DEPENDENCIES:

- LaTeX
- dvipng (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dvipng/)
- texvc (optional; part of the MediaWiki package from
http://www.mediawiki.org/)

INSTALLATION:

An autoconf/libtool-based package; if you've installed
Gaim from source or you have the 'gaim-devel' /
'gaim-dev' package, simply do a './configure; make;
make install', or 'make install-user' to install to
your home directory.

If you do not have the development files installed and
you don't want to install them (e.g., you don't have
root access and don't want to fool around with
installation prefixes) then:
- Download, extract and configure the sources for your
version of Gaim
- Configure the plugin using './configure
--with-gaim-source=/path/to/gaim-X.Y.Z', compile and
install as usual

WINDOWS USERS:

I have not tested this plugin at all under Windows; I
don't own a Windows machine. However, I see no reason
why it should not work. If you are a Windows user and
willing to test, drop me a line.

I am a Windows user.

I compiled and tested out your plugin, and it's working quite nicely.
Unfortunately, there are a few problems; in Windows, whenever g_spawn is
called (3 times per LaTeX processing), a console window opens. It seems
that this is due to Gaim being compiled with an old version of GTK since
the problem seems to have been fixed in 2004/2005. However, recompiling
Gaim and your plugin with the latest GTK and glib does not seem to do
anything. There is another LaTeX plugin for Gaim called gaim-latex that
gets around this by calling a Windows API function to spawn a new process.
It should be possible to use the Windows API to call the spawn the process
without opening a console, and it might be possible to alter the code and
compile it with the latest version of glib so that glib handles it
correctly. Unfortunately, I do not know much about either the Windows API
or GTK/glib, so I cannot offer any suggestions at this time.

The other problem is that there there is no error stream in Windows, so
error messages are printed straight to the output. This does not seem to
cause any problems other than that error messages cannot be displayed when
they are turned on.

When I get a chance, I will try to look into this, but I cannot promise
anything.

By the way, a friend of mine is using the plugin in Linux and the \tex and
/tex directives do not seem to work, only $$, which means that he can only
use the plugin for math. Also, if you update the plugin, could you add a
way to set the maximum message length in the settings? The current maximum
is a little low.

Something is broken with this file attachment thingy -- I don't know if
it's a problem on my end or SF's, but 8 bytes of garbage seemingly got
added to the end of the file. There's nothing missing, though. With GNU

I'll take your word for it that we discussed this before
since I don't remember doing so. Also realize that gaimosd
isn't dead, it's just lacking active work, I released a
version that worked with gaim 1.0.0 which should Just Work
with gaim 1.1.0 (and if it needs any updating the updating
should be trivial). But as I probably said the last time,
feel free to keep working on this, it's no skin off my back.
So have fun.

BTW, this is the same question you've raised when I've
initially started the project :-)
The reason is that the overral design of the gaimosd is so
complicated (for such a simple task) that I didn't found it
nessesary to try and revive it and opted for a fresh

Is there any particular reason you chose to write your own
plugin rather than just use/modify the already existing
gaimosd plugin (http://gaimosd.sf.net/)? I'm just curious.

Luke was referring to the release of Gaim 2.0.0 beta 1. You
should make sure your plugin compiles and runs successfully
against that.

This worked just fine.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to
maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to
continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin
and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days.

I'll take your word for it that we discussed this before
since I don't remember doing so. Also realize that gaimosd
isn't dead, it's just lacking active work, I released a
version that worked with gaim 1.0.0 which should Just Work
with gaim 1.1.0 (and if it needs any updating the updating
should be trivial). But as I probably said the last time,
feel free to keep working on this, it's no skin off my back.
So have fun.

BTW, this is the same question you've raised when I've
initially started the project :-)
The reason is that the overral design of the gaimosd is so
complicated (for such a simple task) that I didn't found it
nessesary to try and revive it and opted for a fresh
redesign instead.

Initial Comment:
Gaim's Yahoo chat function should have a YahElite Mode in which you can ignore all PMs from non-friends unless the person gives a password in the PM like NOSPAM. This will harden gaim against most common "boot" attempts. See YahElite at www.yahelite.org.

juliovega: I emailed the maintainers of Gaim and was told this feature
would be handled by a plugin, the purpose of my original comment was to
suggest that somebody (not me because I am not a programmer) should write a
plugin to do this. If you've ever been in a Yahoo chat room when some silly
script kitty comes in starts booting people, you know the value of
YahElite. Gaim can do the same thing if it would just have a toggle that
causes it to default to ignoring PMs from non-friends (at least under the
yahoo protocol).

Initial Comment:
A simple plugin to split up large messages above a
certain (user-defined) threshold. Useful to avoid
protocol size limitations. Currently it may split
whole words and HTML tags/formatting. Fixes for those
are on the TODO list.

I heard a request for this on #gaim and didn't find any
up to date so I slapped one together.

My first plugin submission I hope I haven't violated
(m)any rules.

The source should work for Linux. Make sure your:

$ pkg-config --modversion gaim

is the current (2.0.0beta6) version. Otherwise, the best way to make the
plugin:

$ cp splitter.c gaim-2.0.0beta6/gtk/plugins/
$ cd gaim-2.0.0beta6/gtk/plugins/
$ make splitter.so
$ cp spliter.so ~/.gaim/plugins/

I should probably include that in the README.

This release snuck up on me. Here is the newest DLL. You guys are right,
the code posted is the newest -- I am working on a few bug fixes and
compatibility issues but it's going to change how the plugin works a little
so I have been hesitant. It's great to see so many people request updates,
I'll work on my turn-around time for releases.

As always, if you have any issues or suggestions post them and I'll try
and get back to you.

I went to the url listed, put splitter-current.dll in my plugins
directory, gaim compiled and ran, however whenever i sent a message gaim
crashed. (using windows xp, gaim 2.0.0beta6, latest version of gtk, logged
onto AIM protocol if it matters, etc etc). Gaim runs fine when i remove
splitter from the gaim plugins directory. Just offering input, as I'm sure
all users of gaim on windows would benefit from having this plugin
function.

In his source code he lists a url where u can get the current version. It
is:
http://ikebo.hypermart.net/splitter/splitter-current.dll
However, it isnt so current. It is version beta5, however i put it in my
gaim plugin directory and it works just fine. No need to updated it i
guess. I was under the impression beta6 checked to make sure all pluggins
had been updated to version beta6, guess not.

Yeah, it appears the plugin slashexec is causing a crash when used with
this plugin. I have a fix for this in the works but I am holding off on
putting it up until I test the splitting algorithm a little more
thoroughly. I'll make sure and take a look at what is going on with OTR
when I do. Thanks for the reports.

Hmm, I can't duplicate the crashing but I will look into it. If anyone
else is having a problem and would like to report a backtrace try using
this dll:

http://ikebo.hypermart.net/splitter/splitter-debug.dll

It's got all the debug info in it so it might show something interesting.
Make sure you remove other splitter dlls so you know which is which on the
list.

Things might smooth out once Gaim 2.0.0 leaves beta.

Thanks for all the support guys. Sorry about the delay on this, I plan on
keeping it up to date with Gaim releases but the last release had some
changes that required a bit of work to get my windows build environment
squared up to. But the beta5 DLL is finally built and the code for beta3
should compile and work just fine still for *NIX users.

I'll try and get these updates out more timely in the future.

It would be nice to see this working with the latest gaim build, the older
version was working just fine until beta 3 (including all of the
nightly/periodic builds available at geddeth) but since beta 4 it doesn't
even show up in the plugin list....

It was very very useful and due to the number of IM protocols that limit
message size I would even suggest that this should be a core part of gaim

v0.95 is the first release that uses Pango to split up
messages in a more language neutral manner.

Try it if you dare. I am expecting a number of bug reports
with this one as I have only tested it in the en_US locale.
Leaving info like locale/OS/Gaim version with the report
would be helpful too.

Hah, no problem. It was a pretty significant bug. I'm just

There are probably going to be a couple of updates the next

In the mean time, keep the bugs/requests coming. Thanks and

I finally took a look at util.h. I assume we're talking
about gaim_markup_slice(), right? Did you read the notice
about the offsets being character offsets, not byte offsets,
and are relative to the unformatted version of str?

I've never used that function, nor have I looked at its
code. If it is broken, I'd love to see a patch. It seems to
be used in the command API (src/cmds.c).

There we go, I upped v9 which supports proper HTML
formatting over message splits. This version dropped the
“split around whole word options,” as I think everyone uses
it so it should probably be the default behavior.

It required a lot of changes and I have only tested it a
little, so let me know about any problems.

Thanks for the good words, and thanks for the tip rlaager.
I am surprised I didn’t notice that function before, it is
exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, as it is, it either
serves another purpose or is broken. I fed it a few simple
IMHTMLized messages and asked for splits and all I got back
was some broken closing tags appended to the end of the split.

I re-wrote it, copying the general idea of how it works
(copied a helper function too), and stuck it in this plugin.
I’ll look at it a little more and if it does turn out to be
broken I’ll submit a patch for review.

I noticed that the message splitter, when splitting pasted
conversations, it will sometimes split the tags for color,
size, etc. If you can, make it find tags and split outside
them. Other than that though, great plugin. It allows me to
laugh whenever people say: "Argh! My message is too long!
Dang AIM."

Thanks again.

The holidays have been pretty hectic over here, but
investigating this bug is my next priority once I get some
free time.

And if you are interested in Gaim plugin development I would
recommend first scanning the FAQ
<http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q93>. If you are
planning on doing it in Windows, then there is a stack of
apps you need to download and install first:
<http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/build.php>.

The gaim source comes with a few example plugins in the
plugins/ dir -- simple.c is the boilerplate for a plugin in
C and a good place to start. From what I understand it is
possible to write plugins in Perl, Mono, and Python (using
PyGaim plugin), I don't know about the current state of any
of those other language bindings for Gaim myself though.

This is a start, if you have any specific questions you can
e-mail me and I'll try and help.

Hey Ike just wanted to see if you have made any progress
with the bug, i know that programming is a challenge, I
just finished my visualbasic.net course at college,
although i wouldnt really call that programming LOL.
working with Gaim and checking around sourceforge has
really shown me how much i might enjoy programming and i
was just wondering if you could recommend anyway for me to
get started writing a Gaim plug-in, is there any tutorials
that you know of off hand that might help me out? off
topic i know but good luck with the bug and keep up the
great work!

I updated the source for use with 2.0.0beta1 and uploaded a
pre-built win32 DLL for windows users.

I am still looking at away-related bugs. I wasn't aware of
any away functionality this plugin interacted with. Thanks
for bringing this to my attention and the further
correspondence. I will have a more complete
response/solution in a few days hopefully.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to
maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to
continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin
and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days.

Ok well i am new to this whole bug reporting part but i am
experiencing a problem with both the win32 prepared .dll
and the one 0.8.150.dll listed below. I had planned to use
this plug-in to split mainly away messages, i usually like
to just throw up whole song lyrics but with the limits in
place i often had to cut songs in half or edit them. So i
intalled your plug-in, posted a long song lyrics as an
away message and then i attempted to IM myself on a
different account to the away screen name (both on gaim)
the bug cause gaim to completely crash. If you need any
more information or a log file just tell me how to obtain
it and ill be sure to post it up for you, but other then
that great idea for a plug in and i cant wait till it
works!

I *finally* got the crash to reproduce and I think I tracked
the bug down and fixed it. It�s hard to tell for sure if it
was the main cause because it�s so hard to reproduce, but a
big crash bug was fixed in v0.8 either way. You guys can
probably tell better than me.

Thanks a ton for the support on this one, itchysoft_ant and
mgilb81. I never would have found this bug without the
feedback and reports. I listed your names in the ChangeLog
and README files.

If there are any more problems/suggestions don�t hesitate to

I FOUND OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK WITH IMAGEIM AND WITHOUT
CRASHING! I just opened up Preferences, turned off ImageIM,
IM a bot(you might not need to do this, I dont know if this
"workaround" will work without doing that or not), then turn
on ImageIM and voila. The problem is fixed. I dont know if
Gaim will crash if you restart it and IM someone without
using my "workaround" and Im not going to try to see if it
will or not either :P. I hate having to open up task
manager to close down Gaim whenever I want it to close. It
always comes up with some stupid "Illegal Operation"
message. Stupid Windows.

I am having a heck of a time trying to reproduce this crash.
The RPT is a big help though, thank you. I sent an e-mail
to your SF account. The easiest way to get in touch with me
is probably through mine. Heh, and yeah, I am usually
pretty slow to respond on #gaim, but if I catch the message

Forgot to add, my splitter settings are,

300 characters, 1000ms delay and I am splitting around
words. Sometimes the crashes occur when I send much much
less that 300 chars, eg a simple line or url, or just type
1<enter>2<enter> etc and so on really fast.

ike_ I've tried to ping you a few times in #gaim but it
seems you're always afk. I've got a few backtraces from the
last few days that might help.

I've also tracked down some of your other plugins and have
been using for example /broadcast. Anywhere you and I could

That would be very helpful, I didn't realize there was a way
to get a backtrace for a win32 client short of installing
all the build dependencies.

I am working on the issue, I appreciate the notice about the
imageim plugin possibly conflicting, thats a good place to
start.

The splitter plugin is completely self-contained but it does
emit a lot more signals now than it used to, I think that
might be playing a role. I'll follow up on this issue.

mgilb81:

Perhaps obtaining a backtrace RPT might help ike_ figure
this one out. Have a look at

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/#debug

Also, it might be helpful to reproduce this error while no
other plugins are loaded?

I've had some strange crashes in teh last week or so,
atfirst I thought it was message splitter but the crash
report pointed to imageim plugin.

Of course it could be both affecting each other...

I am using the Windows dll version of this plugin. My
settings are as follows:
Letter Count: 786
Delay Time: 500 ms
And Split Around Words.

I have many plugins installed on Gaim now, so if you think
that there might be conflicting plugins here, then just tell
me and I will provide you with all of the plugins that I
have, and their corresponding settings.

Yikes, thanks for the report. I had a feeling the big
changes I have been putting in lately may lead to some
problems. I'll spend some time trying to reproduce the
problem.

Are you running the win32 dll? What kind of settings do you
have set up in the plugin (split-size, delay-time)?

After I close out of Gaim 1.5.0 about 3 or 4 or so times,
whenever I try to messenge someone, Gaim crashes, and I have
tracked down the source of the crash to this plugin. I had
to unenable it so I could messenge people again. I think
that this is something that needs to be fixed ASAP.
Especially if youre like me and you install plugins for Gaim
all the time which requires you to restart Gaim. When I
reenabled this after unenabling it(without restarting my
computer or anything) it still crashed Gaim. People can
send me messages and stuff, but I cant send them any
messages without Gaim crashing. Right now this plugin will
remain disabled until a updated and hopefully less bug free
version of it comes out. I think that this plugin will help
me out a lot when Im typing long messages to people and
stuff, which is why I hope that I can safely reenable it
when the next version comes out so I can use it.

I�m surprised it worked at all for chats, I only had support
in for IM conversations. But I can see why it could be
useful on IRC occasionally so I popped in chat support in
v0.7. I�ll lay off the updates for a while and work on
rlaager�s suggestions. Those are good ideas.

If anyone has any more, lay them on me.

Seems to be working ok after some intial testing. I can now
avoid being kicked from irc for excess flooding immediately,
although it does happen eventually for larger amounts of text.

Do IRC servers measure how much text you send over a certain
time (in multiple msgs) as well as in one msg? Seemed so to
me, and if so, then it looks like this tool won't have such
a bad potential for abuse.

Thank you for the effort you've put into this, the plugin
will help alot when pastebins arent an option.

I haven't looked at this plugin, but it sounds useful in concept. I may
try it at some point, but I'm going to note my suggestions before I
forget them. First, I hope you're using the Pango functions to break
text, so that whitespace is handled properly across all languages.
Second, it'd be nice if the size were customizable on a per-account
basis (and since I haven't looked at this other than the text here,
forgive me if it's already implemented).

Hah, yeah, this plugin definitely has the potential for
malicious use. Thats probably the reason one isn�t included
with all the other default plugins. But hopefully most gaim
users are mature enough to play nicely.

.6 is up and it has the delayed sending option. Lemme know
if there are any problems, I haven�t tested it too thoroughly.

Been working great for me. Any chance of adding an optional
time delay between each block of text? Useful to avoid
getting kicked for flooding, although I guess such an option
might be considered a potentially evil tool...

Thank for the good words. It encouraged me to get off my
butt and update the plugin a little.

v0.5 can optionally split messages while not breaking whole
words now (split at nearest whitespace < split size) by default.

This tracker page is the primary source for this plugin, I
will make sure it says most up to date.

You kinda screwed up the alias thing. If you specify an
alias under accounts and then you enable the message
splitter plugin, the alias you specified isn't recognized.
Other than that, very useful and I like it.

Here's a patched version of libmsn.dll for build
version 1.5.0 stable. Just find gaim/plugins in your
distribution and unzip the libmsn2.zip into that directory.

The new version of libmsn.dll resolved bug #1540454.

The libmsn.dll will be replace by the patched version
from the zip file. A copy of the modified source code
for nexus.c is also included in the zip file.

Thanks to Andrew Neitsch (neitsch) for compiling and
packaging the patched libmsn.dll.

See ya...

Big big changes!

Linux support with direct support for XMMS, Amarok, and Rhythmbox or file
support. It will set your buddy icon from Amarok or from amazon.com. I
would imagine that it will build from source for most any *nix OS.

Direct support for XMPlay and Yahoo! Music Jukebox added to the Windows
version.

More info on the Custom format strings from INSTALL.txt

You can change the layout of the track string that is displayed by
changing the
format string in the options.

%ar% - becomes Artist
%al% - becomes Album
%so% - becomes Song Title
%bn% - becomes a Beamed Note symbol
%en% - becomes an Eighth Note symbol

Text between {p} and {/p} is used when the player is paused (if you want
to have
it blank use a space). Likewise text between {q} and {/q} is displayed
when the
Player is not running or stopped (Quiet). The paused and quiet format
strings
must be after the playing format strings.

Example:
I am Listening to "%so%"" by "%ar%"" {p}I am Paused{/p} {q}Quietly
sitting{/q}

when playing becomes: I am Listening to "Song Title" by "Artist"
when paused becomes: I am Paused
and when not running becomes: Quietly sitting

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 =)

It is probably possible to add Rhapsody... 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"

Would it be possible to add support for Rhapsody? I think
Rhapsody is basically a fancy version of Real player so
hopefully it wouldn't be to hard.

Apart from the foobar2000 thing mentioned earlier, there is
one other annoyance (which has been mentioned earlier),
which is when you type /track. 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.

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.

Thanks again for the fix.

I seem to be having issues too.

Firstly, what I'm running:
Foobar2000
Gaim 2.0b3 w/ the plugin running

The plugin works fine, till someone talks to me, then Gaim
decides to crash.

The crashes do not occur when I do not have the plugin
installed.

title, it makes arisit-title a link to a amazon.com search
for the album. i'd rather have it j/ display it.

say "I am listening to %artist - %track (%album - %

I took a look at the /track code, and I think you might be
able to get around the slash command pref trouble by
registering /track as a command Gaim recognizes via
gaim_cmd_register(). (see
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3

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.

/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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

Howdy -

I was enjoying this plug-in thoroughly (with GAIM 2 beta 2
on Windows XP) until the first time that WinAmp played a
track with an accent in the song title. 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!

What is the possibility of making this plugin work with an
alias, rather than setting it in the profile?

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

Most of the time I want somebody to quickly know what I am
listening to, but I don't want to proclaim it to the whole

I haven't had time to make any real improvements yet. The

It doesn't get the album art from amazon. The code you saw
is a feature I would like to add at some point that would
find album art for tracks that don't have it.

So how's your Linux programming? 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.

I'll look into figuring out how to prevent it from bringing
you back from away...

In the mean time another update!

- more efficient album art icon cache code
- better handling of itunes radio stations
- new option to append the current track to your user info

I think this plugin interferes with away messages. 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.

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 :)

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..

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.

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.

I don't think such a plugin is possible for MSN, Yahoo, or

"Available Message" like AIM.

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.

I did see what you did with the oscar code and thought it

being accepted. I know that the status system is being

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...

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?

Big big changes!

Linux support with direct support for XMMS, Amarok, and Rhythmbox or file
support. It will set your buddy icon from Amarok or from amazon.com. I
would imagine that it will build from source for most any *nix OS.

Direct support for XMPlay and Yahoo! Music Jukebox added to the Windows
version.

More info on the Custom format strings from INSTALL.txt

You can change the layout of the track string that is displayed by
changing the
format string in the options.

%ar% - becomes Artist
%al% - becomes Album
%so% - becomes Song Title
%bn% - becomes a Beamed Note symbol
%en% - becomes an Eighth Note symbol

Text between {p} and {/p} is used when the player is paused (if you want
to have
it blank use a space). Likewise text between {q} and {/q} is displayed
when the
Player is not running or stopped (Quiet). The paused and quiet format
strings
must be after the playing format strings.

Example:
I am Listening to "%so%"" by "%ar%"" {p}I am Paused{/p} {q}Quietly
sitting{/q}

when playing becomes: I am Listening to "Song Title" by "Artist"
when paused becomes: I am Paused
and when not running becomes: Quietly sitting

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 =)

It is probably possible to add Rhapsody... 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"

Apart from the foobar2000 thing mentioned earlier, there is
one other annoyance (which has been mentioned earlier),
which is when you type /track. 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.

Firstly, what I'm running:

The plugin works fine, till someone talks to me, then Gaim
decides to crash.

The crashes do not occur when I do not have the plugin

I took a look at the /track code, and I think you might be
able to get around the slash command pref trouble by
registering /track as a command Gaim recognizes via
gaim_cmd_register(). (see
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3

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.

/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.

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...

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.

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.

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! ;)

Changed versioning... Instead of following the current
version of gaim I've decided to keep my own version number.

Changes:
- Hacky support for WMP
- support for foobar2000
- support for RealPlayer
- fix for that nasty bug with high ascii chars

Howdy -

I was enjoying this plug-in thoroughly (with GAIM 2 beta 2
on Windows XP) until the first time that WinAmp played a
track with an accent in the song title. 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!

What is the possibility of making this plugin work with an
alias, rather than setting it in the profile?

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

Most of the time I want somebody to quickly know what I am
listening to, but I don't want to proclaim it to the whole
world =)

the updated plugin is available here:

I haven't had time to make any real improvements yet. The

encourage anyone that is interested to check out the code
and submit a patch.

It doesn't get the album art from amazon. The code you saw
is a feature I would like to add at some point that would
find album art for tracks that don't have it.

it's great. The only thing I'm noticing is that only some
of the albums are popping up and others are not. Would you
have any idea as to why this would be? I've checked some
that aren't popping up and there is album art for it in the
itunes music store so I'm not sure why it's acting like it
is. Thanks!

So how's your Linux programming? 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.

I think this plugin interferes with away messages. 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.

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..

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.

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.

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...

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?

Initial Comment:
wrote a quick and dirty Gaim iTunes current track plugin.

it displays the current track in Available msg for AIM

I had to modify the liboscar.dll plugin to allow this
functionality

obviously it only works for Gaim win32 with itunes

Big big changes!

Linux support with direct support for XMMS, Amarok, and Rhythmbox or file
support. It will set your buddy icon from Amarok or from amazon.com. I
would imagine that it will build from source for most any *nix OS.

Direct support for XMPlay and Yahoo! Music Jukebox added to the Windows
version.

More info on the Custom format strings from INSTALL.txt

You can change the layout of the track string that is displayed by
changing the
format string in the options.

%ar% - becomes Artist
%al% - becomes Album
%so% - becomes Song Title
%bn% - becomes a Beamed Note symbol
%en% - becomes an Eighth Note symbol

Text between {p} and {/p} is used when the player is paused (if you want
to have
it blank use a space). Likewise text between {q} and {/q} is displayed
when the
Player is not running or stopped (Quiet). The paused and quiet format
strings
must be after the playing format strings.

Example:
I am Listening to "%so%"" by "%ar%"" {p}I am Paused{/p} {q}Quietly
sitting{/q}

when playing becomes: I am Listening to "Song Title" by "Artist"
when paused becomes: I am Paused
and when not running becomes: Quietly sitting

Great plugin! 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!

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 =)

It is probably possible to add Rhapsody... 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"

Rhapsody is basically a fancy version of Real player so
hopefully it wouldn't be to hard.

Apart from the foobar2000 thing mentioned earlier, there is
one other annoyance (which has been mentioned earlier),
which is when you type /track. 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.

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.

Thanks again for the fix.

I seem to be having issues too.

Firstly, what I'm running:
Foobar2000
Gaim 2.0b3 w/ the plugin running

The plugin works fine, till someone talks to me, then Gaim
decides to crash.

The crashes do not occur when I do not have the plugin
installed.

well, .8 seems to work pretty well. I only have one
question. Is it suppossed to put the track info in the user

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*

Maybe it would be a good idea to allow the /track text to
be configurable? For example, I could specify it to
say "I am listening to %artist - %track (%album - %
duration)", or something like that?

I took a look at the /track code, and I think you might be
able to get around the slash command pref trouble by
registering /track as a command Gaim recognizes via
gaim_cmd_register(). (see
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3

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.

/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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

Howdy -

I was enjoying this plug-in thoroughly (with GAIM 2 beta 2
on Windows XP) until the first time that WinAmp played a
track with an accent in the song title. 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!

What is the possibility of making this plugin work with an
alias, rather than setting it in the profile?

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

Most of the time I want somebody to quickly know what I am
listening to, but I don't want to proclaim it to the whole
world =)

Well the Gaim 2.0.0 beta1 came out last night so... here is
a release that doesn't cause it to freeze up on you.

Somebody ask for this so....

I've updated the plugin to use the Gaim 2.0.0 status API.

you can download cvs builds of Gaim 2.0.0cvs here:
http://geddeth.dk/downloads/gaim/

the updated plugin is available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_2.0.0cvs.zip?download

This is of course buggy as Gaim 2.0.0 is not even in beta
yet so use it at your own risk... the code is in cvs on the
project page

I haven't had time to make any real improvements yet. The
code is in CVS on sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/currenttrack) and I
encourage anyone that is interested to check out the code
and submit a patch.

It doesn't get the album art from amazon. The code you saw
is a feature I would like to add at some point that would
find album art for tracks that don't have it.

I have a question. I've been running this using iTunes and
it's great. The only thing I'm noticing is that only some
of the albums are popping up and others are not. Would you
have any idea as to why this would be? I've checked some
that aren't popping up and there is album art for it in the
itunes music store so I'm not sure why it's acting like it
is. Thanks!

you got it to display into the userinfo which is nice. but
it still brings you back from away when the song changes.
maybe you could make it stop displaying in the availabele
when you are away.

So how's your Linux programming? 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.

I think this plugin interferes with away messages. 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.

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..

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.

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.

I don't think such a plugin is possible for MSN, Yahoo, or

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.

I did see what you did with the oscar code and thought it

being accepted. I know that the status system is being
rewritten entirely, I'm just getting a little antsy waiting
for it. ;)

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...

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?

Protocol plugin

2007-03-21T05:04:17Z

Hello,
I want to write a protocol plugin, for one popular Slovak webchat, so
some http requests with cookies,POST/GET variables, etc. and probably
HTML parsing will be needed.
I would like to write it in python, but i can't even get pygaim
working, and documentation is.. none :) Another possibility is TCL.
Is it possible to write protocol plugin in this language? I could
write it in Perl as well.
At least I surely can use C, but my C skills are not very good, and
for text parsing Perl seems to be ideal choice.

So the question is, which language should I use? Is it possible to use
something other, than C?

Summary: Linkify - perl plugin to linkify text

Initial Comment:
ABOUT

ChatZilla (a part of Mozilla) had a neat feature that I
missed in GAIM:
whenever someone typed something like "bug 1234", it
would wrap it in
a link to http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1234 , so I
could just click on
it to see the relevant bug. I liked the feature enough
that I decided
to write a plugin for GAIM to do it. Of course,
there's no challenge in
just creating bugzilla links, so I spent too much time
making a general-
purpose user-definable link-wrapping script. (:

HOW TO USE IT

Create a text file in ~/.gaim called linkify.cfg .
Within it, put
regexp-URL pairs like this:

# Lines with '#' are comments
bug\s+([0-9]+) http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$1

Backreferences to the regexp are substituted into the
URL as needed.
Only you (and your GAIM logs, if you use them) will see
the linkified text;
other people in the conversation won't get the extra
link garbage
on their screen. (Which is just as well, since it's
probably text they
typed which is being linkified!) This also means that
you get handy links
even in IRC chats, where HTML is meaningless.

Linkify won't linkify text that's already in an <a>
tag, or text that's
part of an HTML tag. Linkified text is given the class
"gaim-linkify"
to distinguish it from other links.

CREDITS

Thanks to Nicholas Killewald for help allowing
user-definable backreferences.
Thanks to the GAIM team for making such a useful program!

I am running Gaim 2.0b6, and would like to note that messages that I send
to others are not linkified in my window, in either IRC chats or IM
messages. In the perl script, the following lines can be found:

# Attached to receiving-chat-msg, so chat messages you receive
# (including those you type yourself) are linkified.
sub linkifyChat {

and

# Attached to displaying-im-msg, so IMs you type are linkified.
sub linkifyMyIM {

However, this is not working in the latest release (I am unsure about
previous releases). It would be wonderful if this did indeed work for
messages that I send out.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to
maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to
continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin
and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days.

Version 0.005 URL-encodes non-alphabetical characters, for
safer URLs (particularly when using them with a command-line
utility). Also takes care of problems when ' or $ were in
text to be linkified.

!!NOTE!! Because of this URL-encoding, linkify now requires
URI::Escape and Encode in order to function. I believe
Encode is in Perl by default, and that URI::Escape is in
perl-URI.

Linkify doesn't properly URL-encode non-alphabetical
characters. This can cause problems with quotes or if used
for Wikipedia links. I'm investigating possible solutions.

Version 0.003 fixes a bug where already-linkified text could
get re-linkified (possibly even corrupting the tags) if
multiple rules applied to the same chunk of text.

Initial Comment:
Gaim's Yahoo chat function should have a YahElite Mode in which you can ignore all PMs from non-friends unless the person gives a password in the PM like NOSPAM. This will harden gaim against most common "boot" attempts. See YahElite at www.yahelite.org.

Summary: Gaim crashes when I check Current Track plugin box

Initial Comment:
I just installed the latest version of Gaim and extracted the plugin to the plugins folder. I can open the plugins menu and see it there, but when I check the box next to it, to enable it, Gaim crashes and the Send/Don't Send error message pops up. This plugin looks awesome, and thanks for making it. Do you know what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Chip

Summary: Extended Preferences Plugin

Initial Comment:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim-extprefs/

Gaim Extended Preferences is a plugin that takes advantage of existing gaim functionality to provide preferences that are often desired but not are not considered worthy of inclusion in Gaim itself.

This has been a dormant plugin for sometime, but there are now (drum roll) future plans for some new features.
If you would like to see a feature added, please add a feature to the Extended Prefs Tracker or let us know if you find any bugs!

This plugin works with Linux and Windows and I can supply a dll for gaim2-beta6 if people do not know how to compile the plugin in cygwin. It is suggested to get the CVS code before the final 0.6 version is released to get a working dll.

Keystroke Logging Plugin

2007-03-07T20:04:54Z

Hi!

I'm working on a software project for Cornell University's Information Science department where volunteer experimental subjects will use a gAIM plugin to rate the content of their messages (for example, they will send a message and then have to give it a rating of 1-5 in terms of deception). However, in addition to this, the professor in charge of the project wants to be able to log all the keystrokes of the users as they enter messages (again using deception as an example, this is supposed to enable the researcher to see if a subject used backspace more in a more highly deceptive message, etc.)

Can the keystroke logging be done inside a plugin without having to modify the actual gAIM source? I've been looking at the signals, and there doesn't seem to be a signal sent out that would enable this to be done inside of a plugin.

Thanks!

I cannot recall having made any changes to the code as it is published on
this page, after october last year. Due to other time consuming activities
I have mostly neglected this project and am not in the position to pick it
up again soon. Should I decide to continue working on this project I will
most likely, due to the small code, little complexity, programming errors
(such as the use of access();) and poor (if at all) documentation, rewrite
it. However, should you continue to debug it, I would kindly like to
request that you send me a digest of major changes made to the code, so
that I can gain a better understanding of how someone else would tackle the
code.

Did you make any fixes since october last year?
I've just decided to wake up my gaim/ql integration, and decided that your
code looked at least as promising as my own. Probably partly due to the
fact that it was originally inspired by my code :)

Anyway, so far I've integrated your code into the my autotools setup, and
made various fixes to inclusions and such. The plugin however crashes
whenever I issue a command in a gaim conversation. Before I proceed with
debugging, I wanted to know if you have any changes that I should know
about?

Decided to upload the most recent version of the plugin.
It's a complete rewrite so it shouldn't crash as much
anymore :-). The fields in the notification message have
been changed slightly and it's now possible to dynamically
set your Gaim avatar (per account) as the current album art
(requires the QuodLibet plugin "Picture Saver" to be enabled).

The .so file is compiled against a recent svn version for x86.

Heavily inspired by Boll Overgaard's original gaim-ql
integration.

I've previously created a small gaim plugin for use with
Quod Libet. Perhaps we should pool our efforts and create a
more complete Pan/Quod Libet integration?

My plugin is at
http://soren.overgaard.org/cgi-bin/index?t=gaim_ql

Let me know what you think.

made various fixes to inclusions and such. The plugin however crashes
whenever I issue a command in a gaim conversation. Before I proceed with
debugging, I wanted to know if you have any changes that I should know
about?

Decided to upload the most recent version of the plugin.
It's a complete rewrite so it shouldn't crash as much
anymore :-). The fields in the notification message have
been changed slightly and it's now possible to dynamically
set your Gaim avatar (per account) as the current album art
(requires the QuodLibet plugin "Picture Saver" to be enabled).

The .so file is compiled against a recent svn version for x86.

Heavily inspired by Boll Overgaard's original gaim-ql
integration.

I've previously created a small gaim plugin for use with
Quod Libet. Perhaps we should pool our efforts and create a
more complete Pan/Quod Libet integration?

My plugin is at
http://soren.overgaard.org/cgi-bin/index?t=gaim_ql

Let me know what you think.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to
maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to
continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin
and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days.

I just tested this on win32, and it works fine. A quick
glance at the plugin reveals it doesn't handle the
formatting, so you should turn off the 'Send default
formatting with outgoing messages'.

I've NOT used Windows since long, I however can guess that
the right place to install user plugins for WinGaim should
be something like:

C:/Documents and Settings/<YOUR_HOME_DIR>/Application
Data/.gaim/plugins/

For debugging click Buddy List>Help>Debug Window in Gaim or
run Gaim from Command Prompt as follows:

gaim -d

Plz check whether perl interpreter is installed on XP.

wrote a quick and dirty Gaim iTunes current track plugin.

it displays the current track in Available msg for AIM

I had to modify the liboscar.dll plugin to allow this
functionality

obviously it only works for Gaim win32 with itunes

More info on the Custom format strings from INSTALL.txt

You can change the layout of the track string that is displayed by
changing the
format string in the options.

%ar% - becomes Artist
%al% - becomes Album
%so% - becomes Song Title
%bn% - becomes a Beamed Note symbol
%en% - becomes an Eighth Note symbol

Text between {p} and {/p} is used when the player is paused (if you want
to have
it blank use a space). Likewise text between {q} and {/q} is displayed
when the
Player is not running or stopped (Quiet). The paused and quiet format
strings
must be after the playing format strings.

Example:
I am Listening to "%so%"" by "%ar%"" {p}I am Paused{/p} {q}Quietly
sitting{/q}

when playing becomes: I am Listening to "Song Title" by "Artist"
when paused becomes: I am Paused
and when not running becomes: Quietly sitting

Great plugin! 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!

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 =)

Yes, I would definitely love the ability to format my

It is probably possible to add Rhapsody... 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"

Would it be possible to add support for Rhapsody? I think
Rhapsody is basically a fancy version of Real player so
hopefully it wouldn't be to hard.

Apart from the foobar2000 thing mentioned earlier, there is
one other annoyance (which has been mentioned earlier),
which is when you type /track. 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.

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.

Thanks again for the fix.

I seem to be having issues too.

Firstly, what I'm running:
Foobar2000
Gaim 2.0b3 w/ the plugin running

The plugin works fine, till someone talks to me, then Gaim
decides to crash.

The crashes do not occur when I do not have the plugin
installed.

title, it makes arisit-title a link to a amazon.com search
for the album. i'd rather have it j/ display it.

I took a look at the /track code, and I think you might be
able to get around the slash command pref trouble by
registering /track as a command Gaim recognizes via
gaim_cmd_register(). (see
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3

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.

/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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

Howdy -

I was enjoying this plug-in thoroughly (with GAIM 2 beta 2
on Windows XP) until the first time that WinAmp played a
track with an accent in the song title. 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!

What is the possibility of making this plugin work with an
alias, rather than setting it in the profile?

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

Most of the time I want somebody to quickly know what I am
listening to, but I don't want to proclaim it to the whole
world =)

It doesn't get the album art from amazon. The code you saw
is a feature I would like to add at some point that would
find album art for tracks that don't have it.

So how's your Linux programming? 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.

I think this plugin interferes with away messages. 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.

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 :)

Another update, the plugin can now set your buddy icon based
on the album art from iTunes.

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..

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.

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.

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.

I don't think such a plugin is possible for MSN, Yahoo, or

"Available Message" like AIM.

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.

I did see what you did with the oscar code and thought it

being accepted. I know that the status system is being
rewritten entirely, I'm just getting a little antsy waiting
for it. ;)

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...

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?

Initial Comment:
wrote a quick and dirty Gaim iTunes current track plugin.

it displays the current track in Available msg for AIM

I had to modify the liboscar.dll plugin to allow this
functionality

obviously it only works for Gaim win32 with itunes

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 =)

It is probably possible to add Rhapsody... 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"

Apart from the foobar2000 thing mentioned earlier, there is
one other annoyance (which has been mentioned earlier),
which is when you type /track. 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.

I took a look at the /track code, and I think you might be
able to get around the slash command pref trouble by
registering /track as a command Gaim recognizes via
gaim_cmd_register(). (see
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/api/cmds_8h.html#da94c2b2d0eaf1f530081d91ddadcfd3

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.

/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.

Right, that's a feature of this release. Type "/track" and

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.

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! ;)

Love the new release man. GJ. I have a couple of questions
though.

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?

Just thoughts/suggestions that might be thought about in
future releases. Love the plugin man. thanks!!

Ok new release time...

Changed versioning... Instead of following the current
version of gaim I've decided to keep my own version number.

Changes:
- Hacky support for WMP
- support for foobar2000
- support for RealPlayer
- fix for that nasty bug with high ascii chars

get it here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_0.5.zip?download

have fun

Howdy -

I was enjoying this plug-in thoroughly (with GAIM 2 beta 2
on Windows XP) until the first time that WinAmp played a
track with an accent in the song title. 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!

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...

Thank you

Some people have noticed a bug where the buddy list
disappears and the UI becomes unstable. Here is an attempt
to fix it... people that download and use this version
should let me know if fixes the issue. If it turns out to be
fixed I'll include the changes in the next release.

What is the possibility of making this plugin work with an
alias, rather than setting it in the profile?

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

Most of the time I want somebody to quickly know what I am
listening to, but I don't want to proclaim it to the whole
world =)

that will be worked out when it comes out of beta.

A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your
plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy,
we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to

Somebody ask for this so....

I've updated the plugin to use the Gaim 2.0.0 status API.

you can download cvs builds of Gaim 2.0.0cvs here:
http://geddeth.dk/downloads/gaim/

the updated plugin is available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/currenttrack/currenttrack_2.0.0cvs.zip?download

This is of course buggy as Gaim 2.0.0 is not even in beta
yet so use it at your own risk... the code is in cvs on the
project page

I haven't had time to make any real improvements yet. The
code is in CVS on sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/currenttrack) and I
encourage anyone that is interested to check out the code
and submit a patch.

It doesn't get the album art from amazon. The code you saw
is a feature I would like to add at some point that would
find album art for tracks that don't have it.

I have a question. I've been running this using iTunes and
it's great. The only thing I'm noticing is that only some
of the albums are popping up and others are not. Would you
have any idea as to why this would be? I've checked some
that aren't popping up and there is album art for it in the
itunes music store so I'm not sure why it's acting like it
is. Thanks!

you got it to display into the userinfo which is nice. but
it still brings you back from away when the song changes.
maybe you could make it stop displaying in the availabele
when you are away.

So how's your Linux programming? 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.

I think this plugin interferes with away messages. 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.

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..

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.

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.

I don't think such a plugin is possible for MSN, Yahoo, or

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.

I did see what you did with the oscar code and thought it

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...

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?
