KDE-Forum.org

I am using kopete 0.12 and kde 3.5.1 on a SUSE10.0 box. My media player is amarok 1.3.8. Configuring the "now listening"-plugin does not work at all. I want the plugin to show the following pattern as my status message (I set the plugin for using amarok as specific media player):

Kultur: %artist | %track

However, this pattern is only shown for about half a secind after the track changes. The nezt moment, it is reset to

Now Listening: %track - %artist (%album)

What can I do to get the plugin working properly? If I send the information using /media in the chatwindow, it is displayed properly as

Kultur: %artist | %track

Any help is appreciated.

Well, after restarting kopete, the plugin now works correctly, at least most of the time. The away message is now displayed as configured. But as soon I advance to the next track in my amarok playlist, it once again changes to

Now Listening: %track - %artist (%album)

It doesn't matter, if the former track has finished and the next one is being played or if I manually advance to the next track during playback of the former one. I have to restart kopete again to have the plugin display the message correctly.

So, I am still looking for a solution to get it work properly.

I finally found out that my status message is correctly displayed. My contacts see what I configured to be my status message. Only kopete's stauts bar is not displaying what I want to be displayed. Somewhat ugly, but I'll be able to ignore it as long as my contacts see the proper message.
