That's ok, maybe it will be corrected in the future by the related developers. The important thing is that it works, so at least there's a good base to have. Personally, I consider these drawbacks to be small, but it's true that they would be needed for complete skin information / control. Thanks again - good job!keifufu wrote: ↑May 11th, 2023, 6:58 pm The position/duration issue is unfortunate, can't do anything about it if players/plugins don't provide that info to Windows.
It's the same with events like setposition, Playpause, etc. as they also need to be provided to windows from the player.
At least for events, WNP 2.0 has new measures like "SupportsPlayPause" etc to let skins know if the current player has support for it.

Re: Media Player Plugin
Multiple artist names not showing in 'Windows Media Session', showing only the first artist name. I use Spotify and I just uninstalled Spicetify after this update. Everything is good except the artist's name.keifufu wrote: ↑May 10th, 2023, 8:18 pm It's out now!
If you run into any issue with it, please open an issue on GitHub ^^

Re: Media Player Plugin
It seems there isn't anything I can do about this. The windows API only allows for one artist to be specified and it seems Spotify only reports the first instead of joining multiple artists with commas :/Tezz95 wrote: ↑May 13th, 2023, 10:17 am Multiple artist names not showing in 'Windows Media Session', showing only the first artist name.

Re: Media Player Plugin
So is it possible to allow WebNowPugin to fetch data from multiple sources? In my case everything from Spotify Desktop (with Spicetify) except Album art and only Album art from Windows API. Then everything will work perfectly.

Re: Media Player Plugin
Just an idea... you could mass change the artist tags in your audio files to use a character that can be interpreted as not an artist separator by the API... there are software that could possibly do that (MP3Tag?)...

Re: Media Player Plugin
Yeah, I can change it for offline mp3 files, but it's not possible for online music (in my case Spotify).Yincognito wrote: ↑May 14th, 2023, 10:06 am Just an idea... you could mass change the artist tags in your audio files to use a character that can be interpreted as not an artist separator by the API... there are software that could possibly do that (MP3Tag?)...

Re: Media Player Plugin
Yep, indeed - a good reason to prefer the former and be able to control your own life and possessions as you want.
