Rainmeter Forums

i do no use the folder.jpg/png art, i dont have any image in my music collection, aimp download from internet the cover when i play a song, and save in cache in my hard disk and display it in aimp player.

It depends on the setting od AIMP... Anyway, how is the measure value of [MeasureCover2]?

No,no...what I said is Rainmeter management dialog. Click Rainmeter icon in task tray, and Open log -> Skins -> (your skin) -> Measures -> MeasureCover2 -> value. You can confirm the measure value, ie. actual full path of the cover art.

i found out, is not about extension, is about if amp3 find the cover in the folder already, then provide the correct address to rainmeter, but if aimp use the last.fm plugin to download the cover and cache on system (windows temp), rainmeter dont receive the address of the cover, and the skin use the default one.

so still seems a bug between aimp3 and the nowplaying plugin...

the cover work fine in aimp3, is showing, so seems nowplaying is not 100% complatible with aimp3 last version.

Image format is not the matter? Okay, now I understand what your issue is. But a bit curious... in my case, cached image (something like jpg6FB0.tmp in temp folder) from AIMP4 is shown as cover art in my skin with no problem.

To be clear, please tell us the name of the image file cached but not shown (= file name not handed to [MeasureCover2] measure) for example.

yes, i had some cover, hidden i didint know the presence (https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2012/02/01/removing-windows-folder-jpg-system/), in my music collection, and when i play album with over hidden, aimp use the cover and send to rainmeter the correct adress and the cover was working,. i was thinking was a format issue but i was mistake.

This happen, cover work in aimp, cover is stored in windows temp folder but rainmeter get nothing

It is a name of default image file substituted from null string in [MeasureCover2]. How is the real name of the cached file? It can be confirmed in temp folder.

real name is the name of the file name+ png or jpg depends of extension, in this case:

C:\Users\____\AppData\Local\Temp\04 - Recognizer.png

I don't know why this actual file path is not passed to the measure. As you said, it could be a bug between AIMP and NowPlaying plugin.

I gave up...sorry!
