Here is a nice plugin for pidgin that displays the music track currently playing in the status message. Works with Amarok, Rhythmbox, Audacious, XMMS, MPC/MPD, Exaile, Banshee, Quod Libet. Reproducible: Always

Awesome, thanks for the ebuild! It works great on x86. I'll try it at home on my x86_64...

Awesome, I can confirm it working on x86_64 with MPD. However, is it intended that I don't see the status information in pidgin's status selector but rather only my contacts see it? It would be nice to be able to enable viewing this. Otherwise, awesome plugin.

Upstream are now providing this ebuild on their site as pidgin-musictracker. It is currently at version 0.4.8. It's actually not working for me on amd64 with Audacious 1.5.1 and Pidgin 2.5.1. Pidgin crashes when you play a track. See the link. I also noticed it installs an empty /usr/share/aclocal folder though. Not sure why. http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-musictracker/issues/detail?id=28
Upstream has fixed the crash problem in SVN now. (-:
Created attachment 169346 [details] x11-plugins/pidgin-musictracker-0.4.11.ebuild Attached the latest .ebuild Thanks for spotting the issue with an empty /usr/share/aclocal, this is a problem with the makefile, which I have fixed upstream.
You tried to change the URL field from http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ to http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-musictracker/ , but only the assignee or reporter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user may change that field.
