MSN (Now Playing Status Message)

Description

Ability to apply a message to MSN for (now playing) with what ever data supplied to the command via IRC music player scripts. The now playing message should also apply to other clients that accept custom messages with out marking them as away...

maybe a command like "now_playing <message>"

I am sure the community could whip up some nice scripts for various irc clients to use this function.

Milestone: 1.2
Priority: normalwishlist

It doesn't work like that. Priorities in OSS projects are set by the developers, not by the users. You're not a paying customer. If you'd like to become one, things could change. Otherwise, setting milestones is *rude*.

Please fix your bug submission process then, so 'non-paying' customers can NOT select a priority or milestone. If the option is there, I will select it.

Hmm, that e-mail import didn't look so pretty. :-) Anyway, settings milestones as a user in open-source projects is simply not-done, especially for wishlist bugs. Setting a milestone basically means "I expect you to fix my pony before you release version xxx", and I can't think of any OSS author willing to listen to requests like that without some donation. So yeah, I'd make the field read-only if I could...

The priority was the default setting, so that's not what I was complaining about.

This supports status messages now. Support for "currently playing" shouldn't be too hard to add if anyone's still interested. Just post a comment here, until then I'm assuming nobody cares anymore.

I'm still interested - it would be cool to have access to this as then one can attach libre.fm or something to integrate normal scrobbling :-)

Cool :-)

So implementing this by itself is not hard. The problematic part is that this is far from a free-form string. See http://msnpiki.msnfanatic.com/index.php/MSNP11:Changes#With_a_Current_Media for details.

So I guess this is not going to be a "simple to use" feature. :-(

Thanks for the confirmation though. I couldn't really judge how much this is still "wanted". Nobody in my contact list seems to be using it.

Humble suggestion... now_playing "song artist" "song track"... use quoting :p. A little complicated though.

comment:8 Changed at 2012-12-15T17:31:59Z by wilmer

Yup, sometihng like that might be possible. But for now I'm just waiting to see what will happen with MSN/MSNP, with it getting deprecated in favour of Skype.

Nuking this. MSNP isn't exactly 'deprecated' but the newer version of that protocol that skype uses doesn't have this feature, so it's not worth bothering about.
