i'm not sure where to post this but could some one make a plug-in for msn that sets your personal message to what your playing in xbmc, like windows media player’s “what i'm listening too” feature. that would rock. :kickass:

are you running msn on your pc or through some python script on the xbox(not sure thats even possible!
. i wrote an application which scans the pc and if you are running launchcast radio on your pc it will set on msn what songs you are listening to .http://www.geocities.com/bogorman. i could add to this app to also make it wait on a socket or webport and all you do is pass in the name of what you are watching and it will set it on msn. in python is it possible to get from xbmc what is running on it at the current time. cheers

this is allready made. check out the pc remote control for xbmc.
it was me who added the msn code there one time.
http://sourceforge.net/project....=101914
this is a pc client made by nad
if you meant plugin to the msn python script, i have no idea.

i just got that plug and it works great except for one thing... the display tab shows the image 90 degrees clockwise rather than straight... could get a crick in my neck trying that one.

when you start it (if your using one from the last 2 days like i am) just goto the display tab... it seems it takes a screenshot of the screen and displays it in the app. trick is... its displaying this....

mine displays it as it is displayed on tv,
maby something went wrong in the http api, not in the pc app.
i know there are some devs bashing around at the http api's.
what is the build date of your xbmc?
mine is builded mar 21.

awwww. no fair i've been fiddling with this in visual basic 6.0 for about 2 weeks in my spare time trying to get it working. i tried the http server, but i only wanted the song and artist not the all the info it gives you (and i couldnt extract line by line without having the program visible, which i didnt want.) i then tried a socks server and python script, but the server crashed out due to a buffer overflow from the loop that had to be run.
wish i'd looked here first.
noticed you had a vb6.0 version, would it be ok if i created a daemon-like program to just display msn info? fully crediting you of course.

just to be clear.
i have adopted the code to work in httpklient.
the code is made by someone else.
i found it posted out on a website by anonymous users.
so you don't have to credit me :d
what are you talking about, socketserver....
is this a script you made?
socketserver on xbmc or pc?
it shouldnt be any problem parsing out the information you want from httpapi.

sorry yeah i just tried a simple winsock server on the pc to recieve the data sent through a socket script from xbmc, but cos that was looping, the buffer just overflowed.
the only thing i couldnt work out when i was using the http server to get the currently playing info; was how to get just one line of the info (which your code does by using tite = xbmc.getparabyname(lines, "title") ).
so i've just adopted this to run in the background and set the msn now playing info via the above defined strings.
thanks alot.
