From L33TSig Wiki
Contents |
This is a simple picture guide that will show you how to configure the Now Playing (Currently down/broken/moved) plugin for Winamp to update your signature.
Plugin Installation
Go to http://users.jyu.fi/~ltnevala/nowplaying/ in your browser, and click the download link.
The official site is down, so I've mirrored the download here.
You'll get a page that says this - wait for the download to start,
And save it somewhere.
Run (double-click) the installer
On some versions of Windows, you'll get a Security Warning or User Account Control popup. Click "Run", "Allow", "Continue" or whatever the appropriate button says.
or
Agree to the license
The path to Winamp should be automatically detected - install Winamp first if it's not already installed.
After it's installed, it'll ask if you want to run Winamp. Either click Yes, or Click No and run Winamp manually.
Plugin Configuration
You'll notice a new icon in your System Tray - right click it and click "Configuration"
Click the "Connections" option in the config window
Click "New" to add a new entry. You can add more than one entry if you so wish, but L33TSig only needs one.
In the new window, click "HTTP Post" in the dropdown box
Enter the following settings into the expanded "Add Connection" window
Name: L33TSig
URL: http://www.l33tsig.net/winamp.php
Extra data: pcid=1&username=Name&password=abc123def456
Change the PCID, Username and Password as required. The username and password should be the same as the one you use to login to the L33TSig forums. The password should also be md5'd - use this utility to generate an md5 hash of your password: http://www.fr3d.org/dev/random/md5.php
Once you're done, click "Accept".
You should now have a new "L33TSig" (or whatever you called it) entry in the main Config window. Click "Apply".
Once you've played a file, the data for it should show up on your Dashboard!
Client Tag/Variable Usage
You can view your last submitted data as well as the variable tags to insert into your signature on your dashboard.
Here is a quick example line you could use in your signature - just select the "Custom Text" option and paste this in:
Winamp: {winamp-title} by {winamp-artist} [{winamp-album}/{winamp-songlength}/{winamp-bitrate}kbps]
The above might show:
Winamp: Bullet Proof Skin by Institute [Distort Yourself/4:45/290kbps]
