MSN Messenger Music Plugin for Last FM Player?

I was just wondering if there were any plans or if there could be any plans to develop a plugin (or add it internally) to update a MSN Messenger PSM with the song.

Probably not, since it'd involve including microsoft into things and that would probably not go without some nasty pricetag...

But then again...

Anyone..?

belsammael what are you talking about? MSN have a nice open way that opens up for plugin support.

As deplorableword stated, plugins for this can be found at various sites. Mess.be. I will recomand installing the "msn plus!" plugin @ msgplus.net, that plugin opens msn up for a new brand of plugins. (also including a crap load of other stuff you might not need)

It's possible using LastFMProxy and streaming to Winamp or Windows Media Player

you can use the toaster plugin for winamp to let it update your current playing song displayed by msn.
but i guess you werent talking about that...
im not sure if its possible to have a last.fmplayer to msn display plugin... partly because its a streaming device, not exactly an audioplayer, but then again, it does contain information about the played song...

Agree!

Yeah it would be cool if there was possible to have a plugin in last.fm player that would show what songs you are listening to on messenger...

That is the only bug about the last.fm player. It is a very cool player.

You can find the (relatively) simple C++ code for a MSN plugin at my site www.deep-space-5.org/msnmusic

It's written to be used as a mIRC DLL, but coders/programmers out there should be able to extract the neccesary bits without any difficulty.

To get the up to date playing information for the Last.fm player it needs to make the session string or playing song available somehow. If it would write either to file it would be fairly straightforward. The alternative is to do the same thing as for the old Audioscrobbler scripts and just get it from the recent song feeds, which is not as accurate.

Displaying Last.fm current song on MSN

I got it working for me , but only when using Winamp.

Basically you need to download LastFMProxy from http://vidar.gimp.org/lastfmproxy/ and install it, that gives you a url stream that you can use Winamp to open with. You will need to download and install Python as well, just read the README in the LastFMProxy folder for details.

Then you download the Toaster plugin from winamp.com and open the url stream with Winamp. It will then show you the track info from Last.fm that is currently playing in MSN Messenger. You will see something like "ArtistName - TrackName (last.fm) - Internet Radio"

If you use Windows Media Player, all you see is "last.fm" on your messenger.

Update: LastFMProxy

defsafe : I'm not sure, i only get that when it is actually buffering the stream , but it disappears once it actually starts playing. :).

Oh and the next version of LastFMProxy (alpha 5) is out at http://vidar.gimp.org/lastfmproxy/, I had a few problems connecting to the stream recently, but it worked after i upgraded the lastfmproxy.

BTW you can try and edit the info that is displayed in msn to make it look nicer and shorter. Go to options > preferences > plug-ins > general purpose. Click the toaster plugin, configure then the "Extra" tab . For mine, I changed the Artist field to "$if(%ishttp%, %artist%, - %artist%)" and the format field to "{0} {1}", so that you don't have the "- Internet Radio" at the end on your Messenger.

Not sure if something like this has been done before (I admit, I didn't actually look around), but I put something together that might be of interest. Just a little proggie that grabs the feed text file from the last.fm server and populates the MSN personalised message. You can change the update interval as you wish.

Have a play with it and let me know what you think - [No Longer Available]

Please help =)

nanabite, when I downloaded your program I extracted it to my desktop and ran last.msn but it says I need to install .Net Framework v.2.0.50727. Do you know what that is and where I can get it?
