I'm running 1.0.25.127.g58007b4c of Spotify and 3.3.1 r2602 64-bit (Mar 18 2016) of Rainmeter and music info is no longer showing up
Anyone else having this issue? I tried re-installing the plugin and while the player shows up fine (along with the visualization) there's no track/artist/album info any more...

Yeah. Spotify just updated for me this morning, and now it's broken for me as well.darcilicious wrote:I'm running 1.0.25.127.g58007b4c of Spotify and 3.3.1 r2602 64-bit (Mar 18 2016) of Rainmeter and music info is no longer showing up

Here's some ideas that might work:
1. Try using a different skin that supports the spotify plugin. (If you try one of the other ideas below I would recommend trying this again.)
2. Reinstall the Spotify plugin (I'm guessing you've already tried this but it wouldn't hurt to try again)
3. Try running Spotify through a program called Toastify (link). I generally use it to run Spotify so I can get "toast" notifications when Spotify starts playing a new song. (Make sure Spotify does NOT run at startup. Toastify when launched will automatically load Spotify)
4. OPTION A: (Recommended for Advanced and Experienced users only)
Go to %APPDATA%\Rainmeter\Plugins (assuming your not using a portable version of Rainmeter) and delete any plugins you do not use. Restart Rainmeter and see if the issue is resolved. If not you continue deleting individual plugins or go to Option B. You could also see if there are newer version of the plugins available.
OPTION B: (Recommended for New and Inexperienced users)
Completely uninstall Rainmeter (including all skins). After uninstalling check and make sure that in %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%\Documents there is no folder named Rainmeter. If there is, delete it. Reinstall Rainmeter with the skins and plugins that you specifically wanted to use. Make sure the skins and plugins you install are the latest versions.
Hope that helps!

Re: Spotify Plugin Released! Now with less bugs!
First, thanks for taking the time to list all those options. It's been a busy week and I just now had a chance to start trying them only to discover everything is working correctly now! Perhaps a small blip on Spotify's end, who knows?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Re: Spotify Plugin Released! Now with less bugs!
So I've gone through most of the pages here to check out if a fix was found yet for track information updater, but did not find a conclusive fix.
I'm currently using Monstercat Visualizer, so it should be showing track information, pause/play buttons and the equalizer. Strangely enough however, only the equalizer works (perfectly even). Pause/play buttons do not show at all, and track information is updated only once every few minutes.
Have tried variations of rainmeter/spotify/administrator start up, but to no avail. I have the newest (beta) version of Rainmeter, most recent Spotify plugin and the newest Spotify application update. I have also tried several other music player skins, but Monstercat was the one that seemed to work best.
Anyone got any clue as to what I could try next?

Hello,
I have a question. Does the spotify plugin support the repeat and/or shuffle buttons? I have a spotify player skin that I'm using but those two buttons are only ones I am unable to get working. If they are supported can someone please show me how they work? Here are the measures currently being used by those buttons. [Mind, they are mostly in Spanish so it's kinda tricky for me since I'm not fluent in Spanish O_o... Also, this skin seems t use two seperate copies of each, one in Spanish and the other in English...

You should not be using Plugin=NowPlaying, but Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.
@Chryses
I suspect you have the exact same problem, if not you should post your .ini file here.

I've tried that as well but it still won't work. Here's the .ini for the music player skin.raptor wrote:@JoshuaVL1988
