Is there some reason why the album art is not working?

- 2.3.0 beta r1229 32-bit (Feb 26 2012)
- NowPlaying.dll v. 1.1.3.7
- iTunes.exe 10.5.3.3
- Win7 32-bit

Trying to convert my audio player skin from iTunes plug-in to the NowPlaying plug-in

Cover art shows with iTunes plug-in but not with NowPlaying.

I also tested the Enigma music skin as well as Soita. To my surprise neither of these show the cover art either!

Downloaded and installed the Soita skin (which of course uses the NowPlaying plug-in) and when trying to load it... Rainmeter crashed. Trying to re-start Rainmeter... crash on load.

Opened the Soita ini and edited the Player=none to Player=iTunes

Rainmeter re-started correctly.

So, I gather that the NowPlaying plug-in had a catastrophic failure with an invalid entry in the Player variable... ?

Just so I can stop bugging you about it, once this is implemented will the (beta) documentation be updated to reflect it?

I have already implemented year and track number support for a few players, but I chose to wait until I have most of the players done. Been busy with tests at school, but I'll get them over with this week. Highly likely that they'll be in this Sunday :)

I checked the file and it seems that the file track metadata is not encoded correctly. Winamp, iTunes, and Windows Media Player display "Çì¾îÁö´Â ÁßÀÔ´Ï´Ù" as the track title.I manually changed the track title of the track to "한국어/조선말" with Mp3Tag and that displays fine. This suggests that the problem is with the file metadata -- not NowPlaying.
