Hallo Poiru,
in Windows 7 (64 bit) there are 2 program directories for 64bit/32bit programs:
"Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)".
So the bangs !CommandMeasure "MainMeasure" "OpenPlayer"/"TogglePlayer" don't function,
if a 32-bit program (e.g. AIMP3) is installed in Program Files (x86).
Maybe you can correct/extend the search for the player program.
It is currently April 26th, 2024, 1:45 pm

NowPlaying gets the AIMP path from the registry. Can you check what you have at:bek88 wrote:Hallo Poiru,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AIMP3
(using regedit)

Re: NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support
Well, the uninstall string is completely missing
Perhaps it's a not completed uninstall from AIMP2.
I found some rests in the registry.
I will completely scan the registry and remove these residuals.
Then I will unstall AIMP3 und make a fresh install.
That didn't help
I inserted "InstallLocation" and "DisplayIcon" manually with Regedit
and now it works

Re: NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support
Hello poiru, it seems to be that NowPlaying.dll isn't working with WMP when I run Rainmeter with administrator rights. How can I fix this?
By the way, I need to run with admin rights to quickly switch themes with my meter

I'll take a look at it.Krainz wrote:Hello poiru, it seems to be that NowPlaying.dll isn't working with WMP when I run Rainmeter with administrator rights. How can I fix this?
Do you mean when switching themes using SkinInstaller.exe /LoadTheme? Could you create a new topic for this in the appropriate place?Krainz wrote:By the way, I need to run with admin rights to quickly switch themes with my meter
Alright. I'll install AIMP3 later on and make it work without needing to manually add registry entries. And, by the way, you can always use the PlayerPath optionbek88 wrote:Then I will unstall AIMP3 und make a fresh install.

I just formatted my computer and forgot to backup my skin. How do I display the album art that is in the folder of the track being played? file name is folder.jpg.

Really? Thank you!poiru wrote: I'll take a look at it.
Well, surely I would, but I don't see the part of having to run as an admin as much of a problem.poiru wrote: Do you mean when switching themes using SkinInstaller.exe /LoadTheme? Could you create a new topic for this in the appropriate place?

Re: NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support
@poiru, I finally added NUMBER and YEAR measures to my lightly-modified Rainify media player skin, and I noticed the YEAR string displays 0 if the date tag is empty or contains something screwy. Is that preferred over returning an empty string like the PLAYER, ARTIST, and ALBUM measures? A zero in the track number meter makes sense to me, but it looks a little strange for YEAR and makes substituting in "N/A" more difficult. Not a big deal, I'm just curious.
By the way, I've got some date tags like "2010-10-05T07:00:00Z" and "2010-01-19" and YEAR will still kick out "2010" without choking. That rocks.

It is intentional. You can use the following to substitute it:Matt wrote:@poiru, I finally added NUMBER and YEAR measures to my lightly-modified Rainify media player skin, and I noticed the YEAR string displays 0 if the date tag is empty or contains something screwy.

Code: Select all
Substitute="^0$":"N/A"
RegExpSubstitute=1

Re: NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support
Thanks. Clearly it's time I learned more about substitutions and regular expressions.
