Hello Sarge,

Something's odd about the way AMIP updates my Gtalk status with fb2k 1.1.3. When it tries to update the status, the Gtalk status dropdown shows up on top of whatever I'm doing (see attachment), and the fb2k UI "freezes" until I click on said menu or switch to any other window. The status isn't updated, anyway.

I also attached my plugin.ini file. Any thoughts?

regards,

-- ariel

Do you man that it works with AMIP from Winamp? Plug-in code is the same so it should work or not work from all the players. Weird.

Oh no, I meant that plain-vanilla WinAMP (an old version btw) can update the status in Gtalk. It must be a different method instead of simulating user input (socket?), since the dropdown doesn't show.

The foo_winamp_spam page in the fb2k wiki says:

The component works primarily by creating a window with the Winamp 1.x classname and setting the current song title to it. This allows programs to find the Winamp window handle in order to send further messages.


Tomorrow I'll use Winspector or something like that and see if that's how it does it.

Yes, it uses the different method to pretend Winamp and GTalk takes song info from it. AMIP works the other way.

Confirmed:
CODE
Class Name: Winamp v1.x
Text: 1. Los Pericos - Complicado y aturdido - Winamp

Would you consider, instead of simulating user input, creating an invisible "window" to do this? I mean, both solutions are rather hackish laugh.gif
