Check some other plugins, to see if they are working. WebParser, for example.

The actual skin sort of works?
If I click the grey diamond inside the Player, it opens the media player. (This shows the skin is sort of working?)
And how should I test another plugin?

Not sure if you saw my EDIT above...

And Balala's idea is a good one...

You can also try this code for the player.ini with the variables included (the same as if you included the external file) and it works here on Win10 using WMP. Curious if this version works for you?

Download an appropriate skin (just to promote my own skins, this one for example). Install and load it. Go to [Variables] section and enter some values for Location, Unit and City (if you don't know your dates, just enter Location=USNY0996, Unit=f and City=NY - these variables are perfect to check). Is it working (the skin uses the WebParser to download weather dates from the internet)?

Just tried it.
Nope, didn't work :/
And how can I test another plugin?

Worked perfectly.

Also a question: how is encoded your variables.inc? It should be either ANSI (better), either Unicode. If it's not any of these, save it as ANSI. If neither this won't help, also check the encoding of the Player.ini.

It's in ANSI

Both files? In this case, I resign...

Just to check if the NowPlaying plugin works properly, try the following extremely simple code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasurePlayer]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
PlayerName=WMP
PlayerType=Title

[MeterPlayer]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=MeasurePlayer
X=0
Y=0
Padding=10,5,10,5
FontColor=220,220,220
SolidColor=0,0,0,150
FontSize=8
FontFace=Segoe UI
StringStyle=BOLD
StringAlign=LEFT
AntiAlias=1
Text=Title: %1

It should work with WMP and should show just the title of the song, nothing else. Is it working?
