Cleartext/Spotify Not Working(Again)

[y0himba]

Hello. New to the boards, so hopefully this is the correct place for this post.

Within the last 24 hours, once again the Cleartext plugin has stopped working with Spotify. It only displays "Fetching..." however other players such as Winamp, Foobar2000, and AIMP work.

I have tried the following:

• Reinstalling Spotify
  Reverting to an older SpotifyWebHelper.exe
  Reinstalling the Cleartext skin
  Refreshing the skin

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My spotify skin is working fine...

would you mind post your skin code?

[y0himba]

What file should I copy/paste?

[winterwulf]

What file should I copy/paste?

You need to get the content of the .ini file of your skin.
Right click the skin, select "edit skin" from the context menu and it will open the skin code with you standard txt editor.

Then copy and paste it here with Code display:


will look like:

Code: Select all

 your code

It is working fine here, you said you already tryed to substitue the welbhelper.exe and i didnt worked...

maybe check what you get from the log window
on the rainmeter main window click open log, and take a screenshot of the errors that are showing there.

Also take a look at this topic:
https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=17077&start=550

hope this helps

[y0himba]

Okay, tried that. Also removed Rainmeter and all skins, removed Spotify, reinstalled everything. Still not working.

• Cleartxt v3.2.3
  Rainmeter v4.0.0 beta r2627 64bit
  Windows 10 build 14393

Any other ideas? Again, thank you for the help.

I'm not using Spotify, so I can't help specifically, but maybe you could try another Spotify skin. Eg, you have a such skin on the following link: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=94631#p94631
Download and install it, then see if it's working. Is it?

Check this:



Then post us this log, with only the spotify skin running, if posible.



maybe with this we could figure out what is going on

[y0himba]

I have no idea what happened, but it starting working after a restart for a Windows update. Thank you for the help!
