Now Playing by hcs at 11:29 AM EDT on August 31, 2005

Here's my winamp plugin that will update a server with what you're currently playing. It can be used with anything that will accept the title in the URL.
Specifically I've set up a service to store these. Use a URL like:
http://www.halleyscometsoftware.com/nowplaying.php?user=username&pass=password&msg=%s
in the configuration for the plugin. Use anything for the user name and password, the first time you use them they'll be added to the database and subsequent attempts to use the account with a different password will fail. Then you can link to the image with:
http://www.halleyscometsoftware.com/nowplaying.php?user=username

Use!

And feel free to test here!

Sweet, it keeps title formatting.
Way more rux than my previous now playing script.

Here's a variation of it (drawing by me):

also new since a few hours ago is wrapping.



to get UNKNOWNFILE's alternate display add &mode=1 to the image URL.

It'll wrap only where there is a hyphen surrounded by spaces, which it will remove from the display. This is often used to seperate track, album, and artist names so this is a logical step.

If anyone else should come up with a different display that might be interesting let me know.

Well, after many attempts I have not been able to add in an offline message option.

I was however able to add in a spiffy logo and copyright info.

Get this (cheap and useless) new version (if you can even call it that) here.
(edit - fixed link.)

For an offline message you'd just make it post "Offline" instead of "Nothing" in quit().
If I understand you correctly.

Will it appears to work ok for you guys :)

fixed some bugs with wrapping in the PHP

New version, update is now in a seperate thread so it doesn't freeze winamp if your connection is slow or something.

by hcs at 8:32 PM EST on November 9, 2005

New version, fixes a fairly nasty bug where it would continuously update the server, and I've got 100,000 HTTP requests to prove it.
