I use this syntax with foobar:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume +5"]
RightMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume -5"]
MouseScrollUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume +1"]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume -1"]

Rainmeter can be picky about quotation marks; it's a good habit to use them to group items, whether you think they are needed or not.

YES, that works! Thank you very much!

I actually DID try adding brackets and quotation marks like this for example:

Code: Select all

MouseScrollUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume" +5]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!CommandMeasure "mPlayer" "SetVolume" -5]

But of course i didn't get the quotation marks correct. dammit!

Well, anyway, Thank You Very Much eclectic-tech! Appreciate the quick response

You're welcome... I had to "experiment" too when I was converting to !CommandMeasure from !RainmeterPluginBang...
Finally got it to work!

Running iTunes 11.0.4.4 and the newest build of Rainmeter/Enigmia. The NowPlaying plugin doesn't read anything from iTunes, and I have it selected as the player under Options.ini

It worked with the previous version of iTunes, could we get an update for NowPlaying? Thanks <3

The iTunes upgrade process occasionally breaks the interface NowPlaying uses to communicate with iTunes. I suggest you try reinstalling iTunes.

That worked, thanks a ton!

Poiru, two questions.
Is there any ETA on a genre tag? There were some posts about it a few months ago, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have all my skins with position as "on desktop". This seems to work fine for the most part. However, when dragging the selection box passes below the album art i've displayed. It goes over the other skins just fine, it seems to be just the album art that covers the selection box. Is there a fix for this?

Not at the moment, sorry.

Can you post or point to the skins in question?

Hello,
Does the "SetRating" bang still not work for foobar? If so, will the plugin be updated?
I tried it with Rainmeter r1842, r1950, foo_cad 1.0.2 and foobar 1.2.4.

I habe a problem with Foobar2000, my NowPlaying Plugin doesnt re-send the correct state

Code: Select all

[mPlayerState]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = NowPlaying
PlayerName = [mPlayer]
PlayerType = State
Group = UpdateMeasureGroupPlayer
UpdateRate = -1
OnChangeAction = [!UpdateMeterGroup "StateSubscriber" "#CURRENTCONFIG#"] [!Redraw "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]

to reproduce

• Start Player (state 1)
• Pause Player (state 2)
• Next Track (now change)

the player will start again, but the state won't change. Is this a bug in foobar (latest) or the plugin (latest) or me

to clarify the updaterate is set to -1 because its updated via the main player OnTrackChange

Code: Select all

[mPlayer]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = NowPlaying
PlayerName = CAD
PlayerType = Title
TrackChangeAction = [!UpdateMeasureGroup "UpdateMeasureGroupPlayer" "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]
