NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support

[Grantp]

Could you try removing the %TEMP%\Rainmeter-Cache folder?

That's worked all my albums now showing correct art.

Thanks you for your time and help much appreciated.

Hi! First of all, fantastic plugin.
Second, are you considering adding compatibility with Google Music? There's a fantastic desktop app made by ~vhanla over on DeviantArt (link) that might make it possible to acquire the playing information with Rainmeter. Unfortunately, I've tried every PlayerType so far and none works. Compatibility with Google Music would really help with a new skin I'm developing!

Thanks a ton!

Hi,

Google Music support is not planned at the moment due to the lack of a Google Music API. The desktop app you linked is basically a internet browser that displays one page (music.google.com). The author has "Application messaging support" in his to-do list, so there is a possibility that NowPlaying could work with his desktop client in the future. I will try to work with him and see where it leads.

Thank you very much, and I hope you keep an eye on Google since I'm sure they'll be releasing an API when the beta closes

It seems that Apple decided to change things in iTunes 10.5, which breaks compatibility with NowPlaying (and other programs such as CD Art Display). Hopefully I'll be able to find an alternative solution.

EDIT: Managed to fix this Will post fixed version of NowPlaying.dll later today.

For NowPlaying to work with iTunes 10.5 (or higher), you must install the latest version of Rainmeter 2.2 beta.

Hi to all!
And in particular to Great Man - poiru =)

I have one important question. What about support of cyrillic symbols in NowPlaying.dll?
Plugin works, but measures shows like a "Habra-cadabra" in a TITLE, ARTIST,... values. And filename/path of cover pic's have the same problem. Sadly =|

What media player are you using?

What media player are you using?

I'm using Quintessential Media Player (http://quinnware.com/) =)
Yeah, it's old (not updated from 2009), but i love this Player.
NowPlaying plugin works with it through Winamp-interface.
