Spotify Plugin Released! Now with less bugs!

[JoshuaVL1988]

You forgot to specify "Type=" in both mDuration, mAlbum and mArtist. For the track name, that would be a little different as we need mPlayer to stay the way it is. If we change mPlayer the pause and play buttons will stop working. My suggestion is to add:

Code: Select all

[mTrack]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type=TrackName

Put it just between mArtist and mPlayer to keep things organized. Then we need to change the actual meter as well:

Code: Select all

[Track]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=mPlayer
FontFace=Calibri
FontColor=180,180,180
X=40
Y=7
W=215
H=18
AntiAlias=1
FontSize=11
ClipString=1
StringEffect=Shadow
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,200

to

Code: Select all

[Track]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=mTrack
FontFace=Calibri
FontColor=180,180,180
X=40
Y=7
W=215
H=18
AntiAlias=1
FontSize=11
ClipString=1
StringEffect=Shadow
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,200

Sweet! Thank you soooo much! It works perfectly now! =D

Hi, is it possible to fix this and if how?

The Album image is getting huge and covers the rest of the buttons etc..

If i didn't misunderstand the documentation you probably didn't specify H and W, causing it to scale to the image size.

Great plugin, everything works ! One question tho..
do you plan implementing some lyrics functionality ? Or does anybody know some lyrics plugin/skin that works with spotify ? SCaLPI does not work for me anymore..

Hello, I found a mini spotify player skin on DA and figured 'd try to fix a issue it's having. Basically, it doesn't show the artist name or track name. Here's the ini for it. Maybe you can show me what edits need to be made?

Haven't looked into this at all, and got no plans to do so either. Unless i get a lot of free time i need to get off my hands

Ya i got it to work. had forgotten about that page til the moment i posted the help request, lol. went back to that page and got it done. Artist name apparently shows up as the length of the song but i'm guessing that's a spotify plugin thing. the last skin i modified to work with the spotify plugin had that ame difference, lol.

Works just fine here, do your code look more or less like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureArtist]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=ArtistName
Substitute="":"Artist"

Has this broken recently? I noticed for the past week or so that the progress bar, playing status, and title/artist are not returning properly. Progress is NaN, playing is always 0, and on rare occasion the track/artist shows up, but is doesn't change.

I am not really sure when this started, since I didn't bother to fix it for awhile, but I have tried updating my SpotifyPlugin.dll to no avail.

Any idea what is wrong?

I just really have no idea what has changed to break this in recent times. It worked fine before, but now it does not (with no changes made on my part).

Shortened code, if that is useful. Only shows parts related to SpotifyPlugin.dll and a small piece with general rainmeter settings.
