Now Playing Hack
 

Okay, here's the deal. I want to write a 'now playing' hack for vBulletin that would add your current song playing in WinAmp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc...

It would allow you to add the song to a number of different places - a tooltip in who's online, a seperate forumhome box below who's online, in the users public profile, your choice.

It might have some other features too such as an amazon buy link.

The thing is, to do this I'll have to write plugins for all those media players on top of the hack for vBulletin. And I'm not going through all that work for a couple dozen installs.

So, if the poll hits 200 I'll write the hack.

write it, and i'll install :)

I'm interested. Will probably install especially if it works for multi players.

hey mate, awesome idea

as long as we can select in the ACP where we want this active. So if I only want it shown in the users profile, then have that selected and not the others, etc... Multiple Players is a must. And with the Amazon link, if we can disable that, then i'm installing :D

7 yes votes in 90 minutes, you'll be writing with hack in no time ;)

It would be fully configurable. You could have it display in any or all of the places I described. And if I did the buy link it would definately be optional and configurable.

Sounds like a cracking idea.

Would love to be able to click to buy the single in iTunes as well. This hack sounds like an INCREDIBLE idea!

I'd even be happy with a now playing hack which needs manual entries like this 3.0.x one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59538

i'd defo install

Great idea... so um... did you start coding yet ?! ;)
