Can't get Spotify to work

Post by Flushi »

hey guys, i've been trying for like 3 days to avoid asking a stupid question but i don't know, i just can't get this thing to work.
i'm using Monstercat Visualizer+Spotify plugin (https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=17077) and when i start a song on spotify i just got this
Image
i can do pause/next song/previous song in the square thing and it works, but that's all, it doesn't show anything else.
thanks!

I would recommend checking out the typical steps here: https://github.com/MarcoPixel/Monstercat-Visualizer/issues/40

Also note that if you are one of those that modify your hosts file to block spotify ads that will break the plugin. If you are still having issues after going through all that just feel free to open up an issue on that github repo and marco and I will try our best to help you out more.
