First of all thanks a lot for this plugin. 

There is a quirk: If the text contains a bracket ("(" or ")") it isn't displayed. E. g. it isn't possible to use something like

Code: [Select]
(music) %artist% - %title%


If the %artist% or %title% contains a bracket it does't work either.

I would attribute that to a fundamental intended behaviour of foobar2000, not anything specific to this or any other third-party component…

Title formatting code uses some special characters which cannot be used in plain text, but you can use them inside single quotes:

'These characters normally have special meaning: ( ) , [ ] $ %'
…if it were not for the fact that this should not affect text retrieved from metadata fields.

Ok, '(music)' works but there is still a problem if %title% contains a bracket. Is there a workaround?

What I know about displaying brackets is: don't use ( or "(" BUT '(' . Single quote is the way to display it.

Actually it's an ampersand (&) causing the problem. I got confused because the title I was playing contains brackets and an ampersand.

But I didn't manage to escape the &. This is what I'm using, now:

Code: [Select]
'(music)' %artist% - $replace($meta(title), '&', '+')


&&, '&', ''&'', ''&&'' didn't work as a replacement.

Great, I had the issue with & for a while but was busy enough not to care about it. I also changed line for artist with

Code: [Select]
 $replace($meta(artist), '&', 'feat.')

Thanks leiwa for the help.

Unicode musical notes should work with no problem!:
♩, ♪, ♫, ♬

Hello!

My friends said me, that updates to news from foo_skype annoying them, because they see only my foo_skype status updates but not other news from other people.

Can I turn off news updates to "Skype Home" page? And left only status changing without updates to "Skype Home" page?

The other day I was thinking on this subject, and decided to disable foo_skype, due to the fact that on the main page of my friends, those stupid "news" look like spam.
The news on the home page to disable not only possible, if you block your own're friends.

yeah would be better if we could prevent it from sending those status info to news section.

-> Imagine you listen to 10 songs & put pause/play/stop multiple of times, the news would be overloaded with status updates.

Would be nice if a way was found to either:
- prevent sending status update to news, or
- simply delete the previous news update, every time the plugin events add one.

Thanks for this PlugIn.  I have a problem with it, it seems it is not working in Skype version 6.22 and Foobar v1.3.7.  Is anyone using it with this configuration?

Thanks.

It is working for me in newest Skype 7.3 and was always working, except for above problems with key symbols (discussed above).

All these years and I never actually needed it to pause for Skype calls because I usually turned it off.  Now days I've been using the feature a lot. I like that it pauses, but I HATE that it resumes when a call ends. Especially when skype disconnects or a call is ended when I'm away for a second. I don't see an option to disable Resume, only Pause on call start. Is there a way to do this?

Not working in Skype 8. Looks like they ended API access and that's not possible anymore.

Just here to confirm what Studio 308 is saying. I haven't actually used Skype in years but I updated just to check and it definitely isn't working anymore.
