NowPlaying Plugin - MusicBee Problem

Post by tinytinysky »

Hi, I'm new to Rainmeter and also this NowPlaying Plugin.
I have tried to set it up with MusicBee but putting CAD as playername doesn't seems to work. it works with WMP.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks :-(

Have you checked that you have the latest versions of Rainmeter (2.1 beta r834) and MusicBee (1.2.4176) installed?

Do you have the 'cd art display' plugin enabled in MusicBee (Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins)?

I've also observed that MusicBee doesn't send song info properly when it's running as an administrator. (This is MusicBee's fault, not Rainmeter's. CAD proper can't see it either.)

Thanks for letting me know about this. I've implemented a NowPlaying-side fix that solves partly solves this issue. In the next beta release of Rainmeter, things will work as expected when Rainmeter is running as an admin process and MusicBee is running as a normal process.

Fixing the other way round (when MusicBee is running as admin and Rainmeter is running as normal) will require a MusicBee-side fix. I sent the MusicBee dev a message and I would expect this to be fixed in the next update of MusicBee.
