Description of problem: enter as status message "%rb". start rhythmbox (for example play "Radio X" from the available radios) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pidgin-2.4.3-1.fc9 pidgin-rhythmbox-2.0-3.fc9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start pidgin with plugin rhythmbox already enabled 2. Give status message "%rb" 3. Start rhythmbox. Start playing a radio station Actual results: Status message is displayed as "%rb" Expected results: Status message should be the name of the radio station or song i choosed to play! Additional info:
This could be a rehash of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452556 Could you check that if you create a new named status, pidgin-rhythmbox works? For some reason the "instant status" you can enter in the text box is never passed to other plugins for processing.
Actually, just verified that on my Rawhide box, pidgin-rhythmbox works fine: pidgin-2.4.3-1.fc10.1.x86_64 pidgin-rhythmbox-2.0-3.fc9.x86_64 The '%rb' in your own status will not get expanded; try looking at it from another computer (or, easier still, start a Bonjour account on Pidgin, install Empathy and set up a Salut account there)
