WMPuICE WMP plugin somehow ends up disabled

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. having pidgin 2.5.6 with all the standard preferences installed
2. having musictracker 0.4.18

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expected to see the track length but all it says is "0:00". It does
show the title and artist.

What version of musictracker are you using? What version of pidgin are you
using? On what operating system?
pidgin 2.5.6 with musictracker 0.4.18 on XP
What media player are you using?
WMP 11 (11.0.5721.5260 to be precise)
What IM protocol(s) are you using?
MSN

Please attach or paste output from pidgin's Help/Debug Window (be careful
to remove any protocol usernames you don't want made public)

Fixed: needed to enable an iUCE plugin or something and know it works. Strange 
thing
is, when I installed pidgin it all worked fine but suddenly it didn't, until I
enabled the other plugin

Thanks for the bug report.  There does seem to be some situations where the 
WMPuICE
plugin doesn't get enabled by default, or spontaneously disables itself somehow.

If the WMPuICE plugin is enabled, musictracker falls back to using the 
'Messenger
compatible' WM_COPYDATA interface, which doesn't provide the track length.
