What's New

  • Changed song priority handling; user-played songs should be much less likely to be interrupted by the game. Wedding music and some other things can still do this, though.
  • Added "Now Playing" information to both the player title bar and the game chat window.
    • Displays the currently playing song, whether user-triggered or regular in-game music.

Installation

Preferred

  • Use /xlplugins in game and install from the menu there.
    • Delete any previous manual install first if you have one!

Manual (not recommended)

  • Unzip the attached zip file directly into %APPDATA%\XIVLauncher\installedPlugins

In-game Usage

  • Type /porch in the chatbox to bring up the player (yes I know... 'p' for 'plugin' and 'orch' because I didn't want to make everyone type 'orchestrion').
  • Songs are searchable by game-specific ID, track name, and detail information such as relevant locations or battles.
  • Play a song by double-clicking it, or by selecting it and pressing the 'Play' button.
  • To stop playback and restore the current 'normal' game bgm, press the 'Stop' button.
  • Add or remove a song in your favorites list by right-clicking on it and selecting the context menu option.
  • The "Now playing" text in the chat log, as well as the song name in the Orchestrion title bar, can be toggled from the options menu. Access this by clicking the settings cog next to the search bar.
