Just checked, and only one instance of Rainmeter running.

Also, the copied information like requested.

This seems like a UAC issue. Can you make sure you run both Rainmeter and foobar2000 with same privileges? You probably have Rainmeter running as admin and foobar2000 as normal right now.

You are absolutely correct! I knew it had to be something obvious, I even ran Rainmeter as administrator to see if that would work, but did not think to make sure Foobar was also running the same. Thanks guys!

Glad that solved it. I'll fix this for the next version of NowPlaying and foo_rainmeter.

hi! Can you do something about xmplay?

I have a Player Skin using NowPlaying(WMP) with these measures:
Track;Artist;Album;Cover;Position;Duration;Progress;State;Status;Volume
and a Calc measure to record last none-zero Volume

and few image to click:
previous & next
play/pause
mute/resume volume
+/- volume by 20
open player

now after I close WMP, measures should go "" or 0 or so, right?

1)
but sometimes "Status" stay 1, and "Volume" goes 50
and after this the whole skin won't update when i open WMP again!

2)
some othertimes, all measures stay the same after i close WMP! and when i click that play image on skin, the WMP just come up again! and again when i close WMP & click play!!!
when this happens, i open task manager to check out what's going on, i find that when i close WMP, it did close from my desktop & taskbar, but that wmplayer.exe prosess is still on the task manager, and when i eliminate the wmplayer.exe, it just come up again!!!!

none of 1) and 2) will goes normal after refresh nor refresh all!!
only when i change the Player=(from WMP to foobar or iTunes or some other), or restart RM it self

i'm using the latest RM 2.1.0 r959 64bit

I have exactly the same problem here, i use the 64-Bit WMP and Rainmeter

hi! Can you do something about xmplay?

XMPLAY seems to partially support the Winamp interface (this requires a small change in NowPlaying). XMPLAY hasn't implemented commands (play, pause, etc.) through the Winamp interface.

I'll dig deeper later on.

I have a Player Skin using NowPlaying(WMP) with these measures:
Track;Artist;Album;Cover;Position;Duration;Progress;State;Status;Volume
and a Calc measure to record last none-zero Volume

I'll try to get this fixed for the first 2.2 beta of Rainmeter (which will probably be released in a few weeks).

sometimes PlayerType=COVER will use temp.art when there is no cover art for current track, but this somehow looks odd

then I tried

Code: Select all

[MeasureCover]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
PlayerName=[MeasureTrack]
PlayerType=COVER
Substitute="":"Default.png","%TEMP%\Rainmeter-Cache\temp.art":"Default.png"

now it looks nice when comes up with those tracks which have no cover art, but certain tracks that match to temp.art go Default.png too...

how can i solve this? or can you make that certain cover art named temp.art get another copy of its actual name, and those tracks match to it can refer to that actualname.art?

This seems to be related to WMP, too. Will fix for first public 2.2 beta release.
