Video Player

Post by Pielo »

Hello,

At first, sorry for my bad english...

I search a Videoplayer for my Desktop. Or there is a possibility for the nowplaying Plugin with Winamp, vlc or wmp to playing Videos?

The NowPlaying plugin is not a videos player (neither audio player). Instead it can control a running player, whatever would be that (if it's supported).

If you have Windows 8.1 or 10, you might look at Tubey to play YouTube videos in a desktop window.

I use the old Sidebar Player Gadget from Windows Vista. It is possible to get the gadgets working in Windows 8 & 10 (a little searching of the web can help, but I'll post a couple of links here)

This is where the gadgets are...

This is how to get them working...

This program downloads your YouTube videos and converts them for you (and yes, it actually works)...

Those gadgets have nothing to do with Rainmeter, so I think here is not the proper place to ask this. On this forum you'll get help for Rainmeter. Sorry...
