The skin needs to support it. You might want to try something like CLN.

Your Soita skin doesn't support it? Also I have a suggestion, when I use the Open Media Player shortcut on the Soita skin, it opens the player in the state it was previously closed in (minimized, maximized), I think it should always open maximized, for faster song and artist selection :)

No, Soita was released before SetPosition was added. I'll update it someday.

I fixed a bug with OpenPlayer (for the next beta). It should fix the issue, but I'll take a closer look and confirm.

With the latest beta, using GetStringValue() when there is no media playing returns 0, but does return "" properly when used directly on a string meter. Don't know if this is a plugin, Lua, or human error.

Started new topic.

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

Any word on j.river media jukebox support? I love that player. The only thing missing from rainmeter is MJ support.

I can use WLM to control the <prev || pause and next> tracks and that's it.

It will not display artist info/track name/duration/vol/etc.

Whoever makes the full support from this will be very appreciated!!!!

It seems that a dedicated plugin for J.River Media Jukebox would be required to get detailed track metadata. I'll take a look at it if I get more requests.

You have to add some lines to the soita code, because the Lyrics feature isn't complete yet and so I think poiru didn't add it to soita.

Code: Select all

[mLyrics]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
PlayerName=[mPlayer]
PlayerType=LYRICS
Substitute="":"N\A"

[Lyrics]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=mLyrics
X=10
Y=150
W=390
H=400
SolidColor=000000EE
FontFace=Trebuchet MS
FontColor=FFFFFFFF
AntiAlias=1
ClipString=1
Text="%1"
Change W and H for your conditions and I would prefer a little button that toggles the lyrics.

Is it possible to have 2 PlayerType values like this:

Code: Select all

PlayerType=ARTIST - TITLE
So that they would be displayed on the same line?
