I wrote a Lyrics Meter a while back that uses the iTunes and WebParser plugins to display lyrics on the side of my screen. It works by using the iTunes plugin to pull a string of text from the current song's "Comments" section which is actually a filepath to a text file holding that song's lyrics, writes the filepath string to a variable and then parses the file using the Web Parser plugin and using the new variable as the URL.
It worked great for a while, but ever since one of the updates (either for Rainmeter or iTunes, I don't remember), it "flickers" or toggles on and off quickly constantly. I think this has something to do with the update intervals (right now it's set to Update=1000), but I'm not sure why it only started doing it recently; I haven't touched the code since I finally got it working sometime last August. Any ideas how to fix this?
Here's what it looks like. Everything under "LYRICS" is what flickers:
