NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support

[Silvertree]

Could you try installing this developer version: http://poiru.net/Rainmeter-2.2-r1000-beta.exe

If that doesn't solve your issue, you might want to try a reinstall of iTunes. Updating iTunes is known to break the COM interface (which is used by 3rd party applications to communicate with iTunes) in some cases.

Thanks! Updating to 2.2 didn't really work for me (but I'll eventually upgrade it to 2.2 anyway) but reinstalling iTunes did the trick.

Unfortunately the promised fixes for you two didn't make it in for this beta as I haven't had the time lately. They will be in the beta next Sunday

For NowPlaying to work with iTunes 10.5 (or higher), you must install a fixed version of NowPlaying. The fix will also be included in the next Rainmeter 2.2 beta release due this Sunday.

1. Download and extract nowplayingfix.zip
2. Depending on your version of Rainmeter, copy NowPlaying.dll either from the x32 or x64 folder.
(If you don't know what version of Rainmeter you have, right-click the Rainmeter tray icon -> About -> Version. You should have either "32-bit" or "64-bit" there.)
3. Make sure Rainmeter is completely closed at this point
4. Go into your Rainmeter Plugins folder (usually located in C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins) and paste the NowPlaying.dll file you copied either.

That's it. NowPlaying should now work fine with all versions of iTunes including 10.5.

Ok great news, BUT your link gives this page "oh hai!
i has omnomnom page. sry!!!"

new link please?

The fix has been incorporated into the latest Rainmeter 2.2 Beta. :)

It's still a problem for me. And its not just Rainmeter, CAD stopped working too.
I've uninstalled and re-installed Itunes, and I've updated to Rainmeter 2.2

Switched to J. River Media Center recently and was wondering if there are plans to support it in rainmeter?

I looked at JRMC a while back and even started to work on a plugin for it. Unfortunately limitations in the JRMC API made it impossible to create a full-fledged plugin. I'll contact the developers and see what if they are willing to expand the API in a future version of JRMC.

Didn't make it in for this beta, either I'll get it done tomorrow and post a link here so you guys can test. Sorry for the delay.
