i wanted to download a spotify media player skin i found, and when i laid out all the widgets i realized that i couldn't get it to connect to spotify bc i needed to install the spotify plugin.
so i went ahead, downloaded the version Spotify_Plugin2.1.6-beta.3 and installed it. when i installed it, all my widgets disappeared and rainmeter closed.
i reopened the app like normal and it worked for like 10-25 minutes, but then disappeared and shut down again. this time i couldn't open the app again because it would just close.
the icon disappeared from my tray and everytime i opened the app it would appear for a few seconds then disappear again.
i really don't want to use spicetify because i'm not sure if it's bannable (which is lowkey silly? like imagine getting banned from a music app) so is there any way i can fix this without using another plugin or app.

I don't use Spotify so I'm oblivious to the related stuff, but you can check the beginning and end of this thread for more possibilities in that regard: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=26619
Or, you can wait for the users Xenium or keifufu to advise on that in detail...

The Spotify plugin has been deprecated for a long time. This means that your music skin is very old if it uses this plugin.
To remove this plugin, right-click on the Rainmeter icon in the taskbar and choose Exit, then go in
C:\Users\Your UserName\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Plugins and delete the Spotify plugin.
The easiest way to use Spotify Desktop Player with Rainmeter is to install the latest version of the WebNowPlaying plugin and install a recent music skin that supports WebNowPlaying.
The music skin you installed must be modified to work with the WebNowPlaying plugin.
helloo :3!
