Any skin that uses NowPlaying measure can be modified to work with this plugin.
(volume popup in Windows)
Usage
The plugin has the same options as the NowPlaying measure (Rainmeter documentation, however only the PlayerType option and the bangs are used)
For example:
Code: Select all
[mTitle]
Measure=Plugin
PluginName=MediaPlayer.dll
PlayerType=Title
Code: Select all
Measure=NowPlaying
; or
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying
Code: Select all
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MediaPlayer.dll
Sample skin
Limitations
- Not all media players provide information through the windows API, and even for those that do not all the actions are avaiable (for example when playing a song on youtube playback position is not provided). Here you can find a somewhat up to date list of the API functions supported by popular players: https://github.com/ModernFlyouts-Community/ModernFlyouts/blob/main/docs/GSMTC-Support-And-Popular-Apps.md
- The OpenPlayer, ClosePlayer and TogglePlayer bangs as well as Rating and Volume player types are not supported (the Windows API doesn't provide these functions)
- The plugin works only in Windows 10 (most likely version 1809 or newer, however I don't have older versions to test compatibility)
