Re: Spotify Plugin Released!
I'm back!
There seems to be a month or so with less work coming up, so i decided to continue development here! Have attached a new version below, would love if you guys could try it.

Re: Spotify Plugin Released!
I just installed the new plugin and loaded a skin that uses it and there is no crash now! So far so good, I'll post an update once it's been running for awhile..raptor wrote:I'm back!

At least i can get into that now, as i think the crashing have been solved (to some degree).

Been running it for a little over an hour now without problem. Also, the crash on wake issue is gone.

Well, it stood overnight here, so i don't know how much of an issue it will really be, but i find it annoying anyhow. And no, disabling and enabling the skin seemed to fix it (refresh did not).exper1mental wrote: Wait what? Like after a couple hours u have to reboot rainmeter to keep using it?

Re: Spotify Plugin Released!
After running it all day and putting the computer to sleep for the night, Rainmeter did crash on wake this morning. After reloading Rainmeter I put the computer to sleep and woke it up again, no crash that time... Aside from that it's been running great..raptor wrote:Well, it stood overnight here, so i don't know how much of an issue it will really be, but i find it annoying anyhow.

EDIT:
The plugin doesn't seem to handle 'local' songs, it doesn't display info or art from them now and causes Rainmeter to become really sluggish until the song is changed.
Here's my Spotify plugin debug log:
6:48:07-08 is with a regular Spotify song. 6:49:42 and beyond is with a local song (not to be confused with an offline Spotify song).

Re: Spotify Plugin Released!
I was pretty sure this was working last time the plugin did what it should...
Now it seems like Spotify doesn't broadcast its data at all when playing local songs. I could always stop the crashing and such, but there would be no progress or other info when playing local songs :/

Perhaps it's a new bug with the Spotify player?.raptor wrote:I was pretty sure this was working last time the plugin did what it should...

To me the biggest priority should be getting the plugin consistently running smoothly without lag (like from local songs) or crashes, so pp like me who make skins can safely release ones using this plugin w/o needing to warn pp of potential crashes.

Re: Spotify Plugin Released!
Hi! I would like to ask if I can include your plugin to my skin? It's really awesome
