2. Think of other fun things to include, as querying the picture of the song playing.
   (But thats just something fancy I would like, tee-hee. After all it would be something thats only interesting for the PHP part I guess.)
3. Maybe more placeholders like [Diff] and [DL] for the user to input.
4. As for the placeholders, I didn't read it anywhere in the app, but you should put a note somewhere what they do and which exist.

Italobrothers - Stamp On The Ground [Insane] [--|------------------]

YayMii wrote:

I'm liking this program (planning to use it as a song display whenever I livestream), but I think I found a bug. When playing through a song, osu!np records the progress bar in the text once you play through 5% of the song (or when the progress bar in the window title updates), replacing the suffix tags:

EDIT: If you remove all of the suffixes, then the difficulty appears at the 5% mark.

Woah, you update fast. Just hours after my post, and you already fixed the issues I found!

As for the suffix data, the only thing I can think of that might be useful is having the mapper's name. Another feature that could potentially be useful would be the ability to export the data in multiple lines. Anyways, keep up the good work!

YayMii wrote:

Just tried the newest version, and I have a few suggestions:
1. Since you already added the commands for songtitle and artist, why not just use one big text field instead of 3 smaller ones?
2. How about 2 different lines for when you're playing a song and when you're not? I have mine saying "Mapped by: [c]" and the "Mapped by:" part shows up even when I'm not playing a song.
3. Maybe save the configuration to a file? My settings seem to be resetting every update.

Primula wrote:

Okis, all your suggestions are now implemented in v1.1, YayMii. :3

I was going to make it possible to do commands like: [Creator: c] so 'Creator:' would only show if 'c' existed, but it's a bit fiddly (very much dependant on what text is enclosed) and not very necessary because I've split the idle and output messages now. Only time something like that is needed is when the information really doesn't exist (some maps don't have creators listed or something? >-<)
I think I could do something like [Creator: <c>] quite easily, I'll get around to it when I have time.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot your error, what exactly do you do to cause it?
Directories are saving fine for me, and it only crashes if the directories are left blank.

Try deleting your old settings file (remove folder: C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Primpri)

Ensure output directory contains the file to output like: C:\Users\..\Desktop\np.txt
Ensure Osu! directory is correct like: C:\Program Files\Osu (no trailing slash)

On the 'Upload' tab, only check 'Playing' and 'Online Status' if you're uploading through ftp.
and ensure the ftp field is an existing web directory like: ftp://host.com/www/np/ (this path varies so you might require something else)

Ensure you're clicking 'Save' when exiting the Config after updating the directories, not 'Close' (might seem obvious >-<)

You'll probably have a lot easier time using the new last.fm scrobbling plus the last.fm api to get currently playing tracks from osu!, if you feel like switching over.

Two more feature requests: is there a way you could give an option to display the beatmap link as osu.ppy.sh/b/# (difficulty specific) instead of osu.ppy.sh/s/# (song specific)? And is there a way you could display the difficulty mods in use? Thanks!
Oh, BTW, I'm not using this for the !np command in chat, I'm actually using it with OBS to display the song title/link on-screen when streaming Some of my viewers were asking how I did it, and I directed them here. Maybe you could include instructions on how to set that up in the OP? I could help, if needed.

Also, thanks for making this tool. I seem to be having a problem with my ftp connection now though it just keeps uploading blank np.txt files

UPDATE: After a while it'll upload non-blank np.txt files however they refuse to be customized xD They just output the Artist and Title

- An option to add a 2nd output file.

I have an idea to go with xformi's idea: How about an option to keep the last-played song in another file? Just in case I begin playing another song and someone asks for the song I already finished.

• ★ Improved efficiency with several features of osu!np (like querying map data, and downloading maps/osu!np updates). The UI should no longer hang for these features, still working on other improvements.
  ☆ Made changes to the command formatting, allowing for text to be grouped with a command so if the command returns nothing, the text will not output at all.
  The new format is: {Prefix[C]Suffix} (The prefix/suffix are optional text)
  Example: {np: [np]} {[diff]} Commands without optional text will still require the {} braces for now, eg: {[np]}
  ★ Support for downloading maps is back using Hexide's mirror, maps will now be correctly named and can easily be installed to Osu!
  ☆ Implemented support for osu!test client.
  ★ Fixed casting error when exporting config.
  ☆ Fixed unhandled exception when attempting to import when no config is found.
  ★ May have potentially fixed the problem which was making few users unable to start osu!np.

• ★ Added ability to optionally downloading maps without video.
  ☆ Added recent updates display to client.

1. Exception while connecting to FTP
   It seems that if you enter invalid information and press the "Start" button of osu!np the FTP function returns an exception. Its not a big deal, but it would be nice if you could catch that.
2. Primary output is overwritten
   If you choose to upload /np to FTP, the primary output (np.txt) is overwritten by default with the same file thats uploaded to the FTP-Server. Thats a bit annyoing, but minor as I did not need the primary output anyways. (As its not using the primary pattern as told in my next point)
3. Customize FTP output
   It would be nice to be able to customize the output thats send to the FTP-Server. Up until now its only the mapset and the Online or Offline status. I'd really like to use the placeholders for diff and so on aswell. (As you overwrite the primary output with this anyways, you could use the pattern for it)
4. Add an "Start osu!" button
   I think this would be handy, as I would only need to run osu!np without any Batch files and the likes, as you already ask the user for the osu! Folder, there shouldn't be a problem finding the osu!.exe. (*´ω｀*)
5. POST requests
   I know you already plan an alternative, but I wanted to throw my idea here anyways, it would be neat if there was an possibility for sending POST requests to web pages.
   With that it would be much easier and much more handy for website users to POST their status to some .php page and save it to a database or output on a website.
   Of course, for savety reasons you should include a field for a "key" that the users defines thats send with the post data, so the user can check it on his backend.
6. Edit:Upload to FTP does not correctly "go offline"
   Another thing I almost forgot to address, I'll explain: If you push the "Start" button nothing happens, this is fine, osu!np will only upload if you actually run osu!, but the thing bothering me is that its only sending an "Offline" message when you close osu!np, its not sending the message if you press "Stop" or if you quit osu!. I would recommend, for consistency, that its also sending the "Offline" message when you quit osu!.

Exception while connecting to FTP

Primary output is overwritten

Add an "Start osu!" button

Upload to FTP does not correctly "go offline"

• ★ Added button to allow user to launch osu!/osu!test (left/right click).
  ☆ Made several changes to make osu!np more efficient.
  ★ Fixed issue causing update setting to be ignored.
  ☆ Addressed exception when attempt to connect to FTP fails.
  ★ Fixed issue causing FTP to overwrite primary output.
  ☆ FTP will now correctly send offline status when the osu! process is not running.
  ★ FTP now uses threading to reduce hanging, only map checking should cause hangs for now.
  ☆ Status messages of FTP will now display on osu!np title to not conflict with other status messages.
  ★ Changed FTP Upload to additionally support uploading Secondary/Previous outputs.
  ☆ Added option of whether to group outputs when uploading to FTP, more info on this in the 'FTP Grouping' section.
  ★ Implemented method for sending status and outputs to a PHP page using POST method, more info on this in the 'POST' section.

..But it worked fine for me in the few tests I did do.. ;---;
And it worked just fine again now.. odd.

Could you send me a copy of your exported config? (with your ftp details removed ofc)

• ★ Changed styles to System defaults.
  ☆ Additional windows (Config/Update/Beatmaps) will now close when osu!np is minimized.
  ★ Additional windows will now retain focus of osu!np main window.

• ★ Make Unicode data output the Non-Unicode variant if it returns nothing.
  ☆ Beatmaps in the download list will now display a green ID if they're already installed.
  ★ Fixed escaping issue with POST requests.
  ☆ Added threading to map checking, no more hanging~!
  ★ Made map checking even more efficient by changing the method used to find and read from maps.
  ☆ Added function for removing characters from MapName before map checking to prevent no map being returned.
  ★ Removed additional blank lines from all outputs.
  ☆ Fixed yet another issue with importing configs.
  ★ Fixed issue related to osu!test (Definitely working now >-<! Thanks to Givenameplz for gifting Supporter so I could debug this)
  ☆ Redesigned MapChecking/FTP/POST functionalities to make them more efficient.
  ★ Added a notice message which outputs whether more than one result was returned when MapChecking. This is a limitation of osu!np due to the nature of how map data is obtained. osu!np does not have access to the ID of a Mapset instantly so it's unable to determine which map is truly being played if there are two or more maps with identical Name & Difficulty. I am currently attempting to figure out a solution for this.
  ☆ Added web status handling to map requests, will now return error if the MapID does not return a preview/download.
  ★ Added functionality for removing Videos (of format avi/flv/wmp/mpg) and Images (of format jpg/png). Only images below the specified Dimensions will be removed (Default: 640x480), and images of which are corrupt for whatever reason will be skipped but the directory of that image will be outputted to the log for manual deletion.
  ☆ Fixed issue which presented an error after closing osu!np while it was still processing. osu!np will now minimize to tray before closing if it still needs to finish processing whatever it's doing.
  ★ Setting osu!np to default settings will now clean up any old settings that have been removed.
  ☆ Potentially fixed error some users may have experienced when attempting to launch osu!np v2.0
  ★ Added better error checking, with more useful output. (If you receive errors, PM them to me)

• ★ Fixed the unicode issue again.
  ☆ Fixed issue with Beatmap list being transparent.
  ★ Added option for which output 'previous' should record from in the 'Output' tab.
  ☆ Fixed undesired behaviour of 'previous' output, will now only update when the current map playing is different.
  ★ Added option to choose whether to minimize to taskbar or tray in the 'General' tab.
  ☆ Added 'Debug' output option to the 'Output' tab, will append output log to file every 10 minutes.
  ★ Moved the osu!np Update button to the 'General' tab in 'Config'.
  ☆ Integrated the Beatmaps window into the main window, still need to toggle the 'Beatmaps' button to view it.
  ★ Downloading functionality has been re-designed, it now supports:
  ----★ Simultaneous downloads.
  ----★ Pausing/Resuming/Aborting of downloads.
  ☆ Changed "Preview" button to "Play Song" as it now supports playing full length songs instead of just preview.
  ★ Beatmaps in the list which have been played/downloaded will display in orange.
  ☆ Added dropdown box to select the media to play/download. (Beatmap / MP3 (Full) / Background)
  ----☆ Clicking the 'Download' button will: Download Beatmap / Download Full Length MP3 / Download Background
  ----☆ Clicking the 'Play Song' button will: Play Preview MP3 / Play Full Length MP3 / Play Preview MP3
  ★ 'Play Song' and 'Download' buttons will assume the desired map as the one selected in the Beatmap list unless an ID is defined in the MapID input box.
  ☆ Downloaded mp3's/backgrounds will be saved to the same directory as the directory used for downloading beatmaps to.
  ★ Added capability of stopping a song while it's playing.
  ☆ Added progress display of the song playing.
  ★ Added search functionality to the Beatmap listing to optionally limit results by search terms.
  ☆ Added option for determining what list results should be ordered by. (Date, ID, Name, Index)
  ★ Added button for determining whether to list results in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
  ☆ Beatmap listing can now be aborted during the current page listing.
  ★ Made several changes to the UI of osu!np.
  ☆ All windows can now be resized to meet user preference.
  ★ Fixed issue causing InvalidOperation exception.
  ☆ Fixed issue causing exception on beatmap search, maps with no returned image will now display a default image.
  ★ Fixed issue with 'Default' button failing to reset to default settings.
  ☆ Fixed issue preventing osu!np from removing older version after update.
  ★ Started adding localisation to the config, this feature is not yet functional, check the first post for more details if you would like to help with localisation.

• ★ Added the capability of selecting multiple maps from the Beatmap list in which all selected will be added to the download queue. (Ctrl + Click to highlight individually, Shift + Click to highlight a range).
  ☆ Fixed issue with file names of downloaded beatmaps of which contain special characters.
  ★ Map checking is now compatible with maps of which contain special characters.
  ☆ Map checking now has two fallback methods if the first pattern search attempt fails.
  ★ Map checking will now attempt to intelligently decide a correct map when more than one map is returned.
  ☆ Switched to using beatmap thumbnails provided by Hexide's mirror, as Osu! thumbnails were causing delays in beatmap listing (due to current server issues).
  ★ Added the capability of disabling the listing of thumbnails. Beatmap listing is much faster when thumbnails are removed so this will be useful if you wish to query many maps per page.
  ☆ Increased the limit to the amount of beatmaps you can display per page to 999. This is only recommended when you have the above IMG checkbox disable (you can toggle it during the query and you can abort the query if it's taking too long).
  ★ Fixed issue causing duplicate output when playing full length songs.
  ☆ Fixed issue preventing the Download/Play buttons from functioning if an error occured when attempting to process the selected/specified map.
  ★ Fixed issue causing some controls to display with a classic Windows visual style.
  ☆ Definitely have fixed the issue with the inability for a new version of osu!np to delete its old self.

last version that worked for me was v1.9
Windows 7 x64 SP1 + .NET 4.5

★ Problem: osu!np will throw a System.InvalidOperation Exception and will not startup.
☆ Solution: Ensure that you have WMP installed. (It's installed by default on Windows operating systems but you may have uninstalled it.)

1. Minimize osu!np when starting osu!. (Either to Tray or to the Taskbar, whatever the user did select in the config)
2. Option to also start osu! when pressing "Start". (Or start the output when pressing the osu! logo)
3. and/or:
4. Option to automatically start outputting when starting osu!np. (Alternative to above)

Thanks for the update, but I'm now getting this error when updating:

EDIT: And it seems to not save my "previous secondary" setting.

Wow, you're amazing! Adding features that I'd use even though I didn't know I wanted them. Keep up the good work.

I have a few suggestions:
1. For the standalone player, it should probably have a separate output if it doesn't already (seeing as you don't really need information like the difficulty).
2. Maybe a toggle for osu!test in the database reader? osu!test has its own set of .db files, and that was the original reason why I asked for o!test support in the first place.

And when will the osu! music player be ready. It seems to be interesting.

Not sure why this happened but my config file and my np file both just disappeared and now when I open the program it opens to the task bar but has no window.

Edit: It seems that whenever I load it, my config file disappears.. so I have to export every time I have it opened if I want my settings to retain.
