Now Playin Lite

Now Playin is a Kopete now listening script, designed by Amy Brodzik, available in a "lite" version. This script is similar to the original script but comes with certain options preconfigured. The options include setting the status prefix to "Now Listening: ", disabling the status change to away, setting an away message, and disabling avatar setting.

The lite version of the script does not come with a config dialog, as the developer is not familiar with Kommander. Essentially, this script changes the status message to display the song a user is listening to. It does not modify the nickname or avatar. Those requiring these features can download the full version above, or modify the script themselves. Additional features have been removed from this script for simplicity's sake. Those interested in the additional features can find them in the full version.

The author aims to offer a modified and streamlined version of the script that enhances its functionality. The free version now clears the status message when the user hits 'Stop'. Additionally, logging to the log.txt file has been turned off by default. Although Kopete has a now playing plug-in, it does not work with file types such as tracker modules.

The script's requirements include Kopete and Amarok for playback. Overall, those looking to enhance their Kopete experience will benefit from this script, and its lite version offers a clean and simple method for displaying users' current audio tracks.
