Of course!

Hi guys! Need some help with the plugin... I'm using the original Enigma skin that comes with it.. edited the measures to suit the plugin.. here's the thing.. the information only updates after some few minutes and it doesn't update my album cover while the previous 1.2.2.0 did.. skin update is set to 0...

my albumart is in the default location rainmeter/spotifyplugin

here's my measure script

[MeasureMediaPlayer]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
PlayerName=Spotify
PlayerType=FILE

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


[MeasureAlbum]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=AlbumName


[MeasureArtist]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=ArtistName


[MeasureCover]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type=AlbumArt
Res=60


[MeasureTimeDuration]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=Length


[MeasureTimePosition]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=Position

[MeasureTimeProgress]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=Progress


[MeasureState]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=Playing

[MeasureRepeat]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=REPEAT

[MeasureShuffle]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin
Type=shuffle

[MeasureVolume]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=AudioLevel
Port=Output
RMSAttack=150
RMSDecay=300
RMSGain=2.5
PeakAttack=20
PeakDecay=1000
PeakGain=2.5
Type=RMS
Channel=Sum

edit: It works better if i run .raptor's spotify player along.. only skips a few seconds compared to minutes

Does it lag behind or just spend some time "connecting"? There is some authentication being done with Spotify servers, so a few seconds might be expected, but a full minute or more is way too much.

For some reason my plugin doesnt update anymore. Does someone know why?

Code: Select all

[MeasurePlayer]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type = TrackName
Substitute = "":"N/A"
UpdateDivider = 10

[MeasureArtist]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type = ArtistName
Substitute = "":"N/A"
UpdateDivider = 10

[MeasureCover]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type = AlbumArt
Res = 300
Substitute = "":"#SKINSPATH#FlatInfo2\@Resources\images\nocover.png"
DefaultPath = #SKINSPATH#FlatInfo2\@Resources\Default.png
CoverPath = #SKINSPATH#FlatInfo2\@Resources\Cover.png
UpdateDivider = 10

So I'm VERY new to Rainmeter, and that very well may be the issue, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. Here's the whole skin, so if I'm just missing something basic, please tell me.

Code: Select all

[MeasurePlayer]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
PlayerName=Spotify
PlayerType=TITLE

[MeasureTrack]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
PlayerName=[MeasurePlayer]
PlayerType=TRACK

[MeasureArtist]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type=ArtistName
Decimals=2


[MeterPreviousTrack]
meter = image
ImageName = Rewind.png
x = 0
y = 0
w = 128
h = 128
AntiAlias = 1
LeftMouseDownAction = [!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "Previous"]

[MeterPlayPause]
Meter=image
ImageName=Untitled.png
x=120
y=7
w=90
h=110
AntiAlias=1

I'd love a copy of your skin if you're sharing it!!

I'd love a copy of your skin if you're sharing it!!

I haven't really finished it yet as there are still a few things I'd like to change but I cba to fix it atm and I don't really know of a good way to do it. You can have it as it is anyway.

I'd love to have an easy way of rounding off the bars that doesn't use like 15% of the CPU to do so.

As it is right now I probably won't release it either as I'm really not happy about the bars and until I can get that fixed I got bored of playing with it.

EDIT: The .zip is kinda a folder within a folder within a folder. Just reinstalled Windows so I didn't have WinRAR installed to .zip it, just dig through the folders and dig out to bottom one and copy that to the skins folder. I don't have Rainmeter installed either currently so I couldn't make it into a skin so you'll have to install the skin from the first page of this thread to get the .dll files.

Thanks! I'll see if I have a chance to play with it in the next day or two

Yeah... needs a bit of work -- not sure of the cause just yet but it's creating strange redraw issues on my system and I couldn't unload the skin with a right click (or any Rainmeter skin for that matter)...

Right click is set to refresh rainmeter because sometimes the plugin stops working when switching audio input, you can just disable that if you remove "RightMouseUpAction=!RefreshApp" under [Rainmeter].

The skin itself has worked flawless for me. The issues I had was making it look the way I wanted it to.

The redraws was probably from you right clicking the skin as it refreshes everything.

Of course!
