Tested AIMP, Foobar2000, WinAmp, MusicBee, & WMP... I don't have any other players
I used Soita as the skin for all test. Ran in normal, then administrtor mode.
Only WMP refused to work when Rainmeter was run as administrator. Worked when run in normal mode.
All of the others worked in both normal and administrator mode.
So this seems to be related to WMP, as balala said.
Again, I am on Win10 with the latest beta RM.

It means that indeed the WMP is guilty.CyberTheWorm wrote:User/Administrator modes
AIMP - Prev, Next, Stop, Play, Open and Close all work
WMP - Prev, Next, Stop, Play, Open and Close all work
Winamp - Prev, Next, Stop, Play, Open and Close all work
Thanks.

Re: NowPlaying as administrator
Since we're talking about players, I know, as usual I'm going OT... but... a little poll:
1- do you guys create playlists for your players?
2- if so, where do you usually save them?
Depending on your answers, maybe I can save some work.

Thanks CyberTheWorm.
Just to be sure, the "Default location" is the "Music" folder in your user account?

Re: NowPlaying as administrator
Thanks again CyberTheWorm, this is very helpful.
Another question, I forgot:
3 - what player(s) are you using?
P.S. if there's anybody else who's willing to help, is very welcome, maybe I can really try do what I'm thinking*.
* There goes in my never ending and always growing list...

Re: NowPlaying as administrator
Hi,
I use Winamp. In "Administrator" mode, the information are recognized by the skin (player) with Windows 8.1, but not with my Windows 10. I just started the music. I have not tested other options .
