v0.4.1 is up now on Gmail. Let me know if this fixed the issue with the "Could not load plugin" message.

Unfortunately it does not seem to...

Hugo_Elbuho · « **Reply #51 on:** May 11, 2005, 05:36:21 pm »

Hmmm... can anybody post a small screenshot of the message?

Thank you!.

Hugo,

Here you go.

After uninstalling 0.3 (which works 100% fine) and making sure it was also uninstalled within MC's plug-in manager I installed 0.41. It seems to be fine but when starting MC it does not appear in the plug-ins tree in the main MC window.

Selecting the plug-in manager shows this screen:

Pressing Start shows:

Anything else I can tell you that might help?

Thanks for your work so far.

P.S. I censored your email just in case you didn't want it shown and then realised it was in your public profile anyway

.

Hmmm... now you gave me some clues, seems like plugin is not being registered in windows' registry.

I'll check that... Thank you Martin!

--------------------
Sorry for the delay guys, it's been a tough week at work

. Hope to fix that this weekend ... after the parties, of course!! Priorities are priorities!!

Take care and thanks for the support

I downloaded the versions from g-mail, but couldnt Media Center (version 10) to recognise it. After a few tries downloaded the version from the J River website, and installed the dot reg file. When i opened Media Center it automatically displayed the same error that Martin H has.

I rectified this by copying the version 3 msnnowplaying.dll file and over writing it with the version that came in the rar from the j river website.

I dont really get how to customise how its displayed though. I'm a little new to this currently it displays it as:

Title - Artist (Year)

How can I change this?

Thanks

Hi Stu,

I'm glad you managed to make 0.3 run on v.10

Actually there's no restriction at all... as far as i know SDK hasn't changed on 11 so it should be ok.

In respect of your question, you'll find the settings window just browsing on the "Plugins" section of the left panel. If you click there then you'll find it opened at the right.

Since there well... it's pretty much about selecting which fields and you want displayed out of 3 possible and the format string.

Feel free to ask if you have any further question

Regards,

Hugo

Ah yes sorry I was being retarded and looking in Tools > Plugins for the option thing and was getting confused when I couldnt get it.

Its all sorted now, liking the cover art changing thing too. Good job, thanks

I noticed that on my pc at work everything works as expected while on my home pc it doesn't. The only difference I can see (same OS, same software versions) is that on my home pc both the plugin and MC are installed to the D: drive while on my work pc it's on the C: drive.
Could it be that the c: path is hardcoded somewhere? I tried puttting the plug-in on the c: drive but that didn't help...And I don't really feel like uninstalling media center...

Hugo_Elbuho · « **Reply #58 on:** May 23, 2005, 08:15:18 pm »

There's no C directory hard coded my friend. Have you checked if .NET Framework is also installed at home?

Let me know...

Hugo

Is the newest version working yet?

Apparantly, but not in the way you imply. After noticing foobar with its playing now plug-in has the same problem, I updated my msn messenger from v.something.something.0777 to v7.0.0.813 and now it seems to work..

JaysonG · « **Reply #61 on:** June 13, 2005, 04:36:14 am »

Hugo 100% given up on getting v0.4 to work now?

Pookus · « **Reply #62 on:** June 13, 2005, 12:40:42 pm »

If you like, you can try my MSN Messenger 7.x plug-in. It's listed in the interface plug-ins section and works with MC 10 and 11.

Hugo_Elbuho · « **Reply #63 on:** June 14, 2005, 03:19:28 pm »

sorry guys. As i told you before it was more like a good will work. I've not had much time to work on this and i'm glad someone has taken the lead to make it work for Messenger. Hope some of the ideas included, most by you, are of some use to Pookus.

Cheers!

Props to Hugo for writing this. I started mine as an experiment in writing a first plug-in. If someone can take a screenshot of Hugo's (it doesn't instantiate for me) and send it to me, I can see which features I can add.

This is from 0.3, the latest one that works: http://images.martinhawkins.co.uk/msn0.3.gif

Looks like I'm missing the cover art, but I think I would need the (unsupported) typelib for that. Thanks for the screenshot!

Bluesman · « **Reply #67 on:** June 17, 2005, 07:17:24 pm »

Hi,
Is the v0.3 available somewhere? I've had no luck using 0.4.
I'm also unclear where to find Pookus' program?
thanks,
Geoff

Sorry Geof for not including the link.

Thanks for taking care of it, Matshif!

Bluesman · « **Reply #70 on:** June 20, 2005, 08:40:41 am »

Pookus,
thanks, got it and working well.

stevescotia · « **Reply #71 on:** November 16, 2005, 02:52:36 pm »

Did anyone ever manage to work out the "could not load plugin" error on v.4? Version 3 works no problem. I'm keen on the cover art as display picture feature that's not currently available on Pookus's plugin.

Hugo_Elbuho · « **Reply #72 on:** November 18, 2005, 02:38:07 pm »

oh my friend... i'm sorry but i've not been into this thing since lots of time ago.

I don't know if Pookus has done some work to his plugin lately.

NeDtHeOnE · « **Reply #73 on:** May 20, 2006, 12:33:32 am »

where can i get the new version or v0.3?
