That will be our next step. From the Plugins & Addons section of the Forum, you can get a Spotify plugin, which I suppose it'll work much better with Spotify than the NowPlaying plugin (however I can't test, because as I said, I don't have Spotify installed). I'll write a small code for this and will post it soon. Just keep one eye on this thread.

I'm not sure I'll be able to do more with this, because not having a such device, it would be hard for me to test what going on. I tried to google the internet, searching a possibility to re-read the LED.ini and resend the data to the device, but had no success. Do you know a way to do this (maybe with a command line)?

I already had the 'Spotify Plugin' installed...
I changed your code to

Code: Select all

Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll

now it sort of works......
Instead of the:-

• Artist: 'A Singer'
  Title: 'A Song'

I get:-

• Artist: 04:30
  Title: 04:30

The Length of the current song playing in both headers Also on the LED Panel, we getting closer

I wouldn't have a clue where to start I've been using Rainmeter for just over a year and I'm only just figuring out how to change Fonts & Font colour

Ok, here is a very simple code, using the Spotify plugin. If you have it installed, this code should work, but not having installed Spotify, I couldn't test it. Please check and tell me if it's working:

Code: Select all

[MeasureArtist]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type=ArtistName

[MeasureTrack]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SpotifyPlugin.dll
Type=TrackName
OnChangeAction=[!WriteKeyValue MessageInformation TextMessageContent1 """"[MeasureTrack]"""" "#@#LED.ini"][!WriteKeyValue MessageInformation TextMessageContent2 """"[MeasureArtist]"""" "#@#LED.ini"]

This code should write the appropriate information (the name of the artist and the title) to the LED.ini file.
Still looking for a simpler way to send the information to the device. You have no idea how to do this?

For sure it isn't, but although I'm seeking the proper command (we'd need a command line) to refresh the shown information, I can't find it. It seems that, at least for now, you'll have to stick to the found procedure (closing and reopening the LED.exe). Sorry...

Yes, it seems you'll have to.
And I'm glad that, at least, partially I could help.

Anything you want to show, you'll have to just write the needed information to the proper option(s) of the LED.ini file (TextMessageContent1 and TextMessageContent2 options of the [MessageInformation] section), then restart the LED.exe app.
