The .dll has been crashing rainmeter when I start Spotify. I decompiled the .dll via ILSpy and found that this happens because of the following code in SpotifyAPI:
catch (Exception innerException)
{
throw new Exception("Could not launch SpotifyWebHelper. Your installation of Spotify might be corrupt or you might not have Spotify installed", innerException);
}
Also, the rainmeter log is showing an error for every attempt the .dll tries to open default.jpg. this is because of the following code in ImageManipulate:
The slashes should be backslashes, perhaps with escape chars.
I tried to edit the code and recompile it via Visual Studio, but it's kicking back errors that I assume are because I don't have the source code. Hopefully Raptor sees this and can fix these couple things.

I highly doubt that this is the problem. I cant see any issue using the alternative directory separator, and i cant find any evidence for it either. The reason its spamming the error is probably the missing "default.jpg", as written about in the first post.

Can't seem to reproduce this issue on my end. Can you provide OS and Spotify versions?
OS = 8.1
Spotify Premium (IDK if that matters or not, probably not, but w/e) = 1.0.5.178.g885b099b
Got exams coming up, so i can't help much for a few weeks. The only thing i can think of is that you have spotify installed in some other folder then "%APPDATA%/Spotify".
Don't have the source available at the moment, but it goes something like this.
If you for some reason prefer not to have Spotify installed in this location, running SpotifyWebHelper.exe manually should work. Hope this solves your issue, if not i will be back in 3 weeks time.
And yes, premium does matter, as I'm not even sure this works for the free version.
I'm having issues with a rainmeter skin that was supposedly created for use with Spotify but simply doesn't work properly. I honesty for the life of me can't figure it out. The skin is called Spotify_Small. I'll post the contents of the ini file here. Can someone please look it over and provide a fixed ini for it?

My bad, there was a time this plugin was so unstable i preferred to use NowPlaying where i could. Have attached an updated version below. Removed the stars as well, since i have no hope of getting those working.

Have you updated rainmeter to the latest version?
Have you installed the latest plugin from the first page?
Also do you put the plugin inside this folder? (C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins) and not (C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Defaults\Plugins)
Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit system? because if you use a 64 bit system rainmeter must not be installed inside (C:\Program Files (x86))
Hello .raptor. I need help with a skin. I'm trying to get this skin to work with the Spotify Plugin but it keeps crashing rainmeter when I do (sadly I know little to nothing about scripting). I've been trying for quite a while now and can't seem to figure it out. Even the creator of the skin was unable to figure it out (he had been away from creating rmskins for quite a while before attempting). I will attach a .zip file with the rmskin in it. Can you please edit the SpotfyPlugin into it?
