Issues with NowPlaying bang SetRating

Post by spedrickson »

I see a few other threads with NowPlaying issues, but this seems a bit more specific so hopefully it isn't a duplicate. It does seem unique enough to not post in the other threads, but I could be wrong.

Issue 1:
SetRating doesn't work with foo_cad at all (and possibly other CAD players). Just a simple:

Code: Select all

[!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "SetRating 2"]
does nothing. I tested the same implementation with Windows Media Player and it worked as expected, so it seems to be a CAD or Foobar specific issue. I've never used the feature before so I don't know if SetRating works with Foobar, but it is listed as fully supported on the NowPlaying page so I assume it is supposed to.

Issue 2:
SetRating doesn't work for values above 2 for WMP (and possibly every player).

Code: Select all

[!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "SetRating 2"]
works exactly as expected, but

Code: Select all

[!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "SetRating 5"]
sets the rating to 0 (unrated). Same behavior for SetRating 3/4.

System information:
Windows 10 Pro
Rainmeter 4.2 Beta Release - r3064
Up-to-date versions of Foobar, foo_cad, WMP

Please let me know if any additional information would be useful, or if I'm just missing something obvious. And thanks for the incredibly useful program!
