When do You plan to open source? Approx. at which version?

Hehe. When did open source become the natural development for every soft project?

I've cleaned up code so that it can go public now without major embarrassment - version 0.5 will be released with the source code. Thanks for asking.

Sharing the source code has been already requested before, but I did not give any specific time frame then, so that's why the question was asked I guess.

Quote from: DotpitchWhen using wav-writer or another encoder, xmp-scrobbler obviously sends the info to Last.fm. Is there any way to avoid this behavoir? (And I mean other than manually removing the plugin from the DSP-section :P). Or is there no way for the plugin to determine the output-device? In the latter case, perhaps a request to Ian ::)?

There isn't any way for the plugin to know exactly where the output is going, but I guess one could detect the fact that it's not normal playback by the fact that the data is arriving more quickly than it normally would :)

Just started using this plugin, works great for my mp3s, but for wma files it seems to be sending the album name as the title and nothing for the album (I have all the tags filled out)

I know that Ian updated xmplay so that the wma tags were properly showing in the libraray, but that doesn't seem to have filtered down to audioscrobbler for whatever reason. Guessing that xmplay doesn't update the plugin properties or audioscrobbler cheks a different field or something  ???

Cheers for the good work  8) ;D

Aaah, that's just my short memory, I forgot to include it in 0.4. I'll fix WMA tags stuff and include it in 0.5. Thanks for reminding and sorry for inconvenience.

No inconvenience and definitely no need to apologise, keep up the work my good man  :D

Have you ticked the "enable" box in the plugin config? Also, what do the last 20 or so lines say in your log file. You can view the log file from the plugin config dialog.

My opinion that products SHOULD NOT be open sourced (it is lame in fact), but libraries and technologies MUST BE. It always was that way and should remain the same forever. Or we still lived in before-stone-age (: I see plugin as a library, because it extends functions of XMPlay and it is not self-complete product. Another example is firefox. I'm absolutely not interested in its source. But I've modified Gecko a bit for my needs when I used it for my project.

Version 0.5 (with source code) is in town, news update as always in the first post of this thread.

Notice: It's up on the Support Site. (Who else thinks it would be useful to have an option NOT to include signatures for posts like this? I always feel like I'm occupying more space than needed.)

It's fine, we have plenty of space here  :D

Quote from: Auxyagood, what compiler do You use?

See the first post, section "Source code". I use Dev-C++, which is bundled with MinGW.

I finally decided to try and I got it working immediately. Very nice job with the plug-in, it's truly wonderful!

I do have one suggestion. I think it would be great if the plug-in could look up overrided tags from XMPlay's playlist. What do you think?

Sure, seems like a reasonable idea, I will include it as an option in the next release.
