How to run Windows Media Player from the Neonspace/AudioPlayer skin?

[kharon00]

Currently, I don't know how to add an MP3 playlist to this interface for it to work. Or how I can edit this interface to play the music playlist on my computer using Windows Media Player? Can anyone help me? I am a beginner, and this is my first time using Rainmeter. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology. I would like to post the code in Notepad. If you need any more information, please let me know. Thank you very much. I'm sorry, my English is not very good. I have to use Google Translate.

Code: Select all

That package makes you pay for upgraded skins and is not in the spirit of Rainmeter.

Most members will not be familiar with, or have installed that commercialized package.

The skin author can answer that.
Ask them on DevArt

[kharon00]

Thanks. I will look into it further.

[eclectic-tech]

Hope you get a solution.
Sorry I couldn't help more...

Currently, I don't know how to add an MP3 playlist to this interface for it to work. Or how I can edit this interface to play the music playlist on my computer using Windows Media Player?

Although I did use Windows Media Player for videos in the past, I am currently a long time user of Winamp for audios and PotPlayer for videos, so I'm not familiar with the playlist format used by WMP. That being said, if I understood what you meant properly, to open / play an MP3 playlist of any kind, you could use the Windows' file association system and just "run" the playlist file on some mouse action or something (after that, you could probably control which of the previous, current or next tracks to play from your skins, based on the shuffle and repeat settings in the player).

For example, left clicking on the meter from the below sample skin opens and starts playing my Winamp playlist:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1

[SomeMeter]
Meter=String
SolidColor=0,255,0,255
AntiAlias=1
Text=Open Winamp Playlist
LeftMouseUpAction=["F:\Audios\Music\- Single -\Music.m3u8"]
DynamicVariables=1

The key is what's in the LeftMouseUpAction option from the meter, which is basically the path to the playlist enclosed between quotes. Obviously, whatever playlist extension you "run" there should be associated with your WMP, but I believe this is by default since it's a MS program.
