Growl/GNTP for Songbird HenningStummer

Sends GNTP (Growl) notifications on e.g. track change


Growl/GNTP for Songbird



Description

Sends GNTP (Growl Network Transport Protocol) notifications when e.g. the playing track changes.

Requires a version of Growl that supports GNTP, such as Growl for Windows (http://www.growlforwindows.com) or a development build of Growl on OSX (http://growl.info).

Comments, suggestions, and bug reports are very welcome!




Release Notes

  • Corrected variable for new line '%NL%' in the description table
  • Fixed missing leading '0' if the seconds of a song where smaller than 10 (e.g. '4:03')
  • Added new variable for rating to be displayed as stars (e.g. '***' for a rating of 3)
  • Added localization for fr-FR

Doesn't seem to work on MacOS 10.5.7 with SB 1.2b1. It installs correctly, but I got no notification (my other Growl apps work without problem).

are you running a dev build of Growl? the instructions say "Requires a version of Growl that supports GNTP, such as Growl for Windows (http://www.growlforwindows.com) or a development build of Growl on OSX (http://growl.info)." - the latest public release of Growl on OSX doesnt have the GNTP support included yet.

True, I am using 1.1.4. However, I can't find the development build even on the developers part of the site, do you have a direct link?

check the second post in this thread - i think you can grab the necessary code from bitbucket:

Apparently the thread does not exist anymore. Mind providing an updated link to a dev build? Either way, would I need to compile source code? I'm not very techno-savvy so if that's the case I'll need instructions on what to do with it. But I'm really glad someone is working on Growl notifications for Songbird again. Thanks.

here is a better link: http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20013#p116242

from the sounds of it, yes, you would need to build from source. unfortunately, i dont have any instructions on how to do it (i am a lowly Windows user).

Using Growl 1.2 on OS X 10.6.1. The add-on installed correctly, I see it in the Growl.prefPane, settings seem to be correct, but no notifications.

About MAC users: This add-on uses the GNTP protocol. This is currently available in Growl 4 Windows only. The Mac version of Growl will support GNTP in one of their next versions. Please check www.growl.info for updates.

@sauerkraut: What german language? I compared this and your current versions: Except of the creator tag inside the install.rdf are all files identical?!

Great Add-on, thanks!
However, I mainly use embedded cover art (resources) and these do not display.
So I made some modifications to display them as well :)

How could I sent you the code so you can integrate my changes in your next release (if you want to) ?
