Media Player Plugin

I think Cover Image scaling is not accurate.

It is accurate. If you're using the original skin, posted in the first post of this topic, try replacing the PreserveAspectRatio=2 option of the [Cover] meter with PreserveAspectRatio=1.

No, it's not working. The image remains the same. Actually, the image was cropped from 3 sides only- left, right and bottom.

Code: Select all

; > Cover
[Cover]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=mCover
H=#Height#
W=#Height#
PreserveAspectRatio=1

I'm sorry, I don't see the problem, at least not with the media files I tried this out. Maybe you could try packing the whole MediaPlayer config (assuming you've altered it in any way), maybe including a media file which you have the problem with and upload the package, to can check.

I didn't change anything about the skin. Everything was original. I was playing with Spotify Desktop.

Sorry, I still don't get the issue, if i replace the PreserveAspectRatio option of the [Cover] meter. I'm not using Spotify, but I don't think this should be a problem. If you can gat the same issue with a YouTube video for instance, a link would be nice. Just to have and can talk about the same clip.

I have tried most of the popular music players and I found only Spotify and Foobar show Album Art on Windows 11 widget. But, unfortunately, this skin shows album art properly only with Foobar and As I told earlier it shows cropped album art with Spotify.

I mainly use Spotify and I have some local music that I didn't find on Spotify (maybe they have some copyright issues). So I use Spotify Music Player to listen to both types of music. Now 'NowPlaying' Plugin is not fully supported on Spotify and it works properly with 'WebNowPlying'. But the problem is 'WebNowPlaying' can't show the Album Art of local music which I play on Spotify. Then I found this 'MediaPlayer' Plugin which fetches Album Art from Windows 11 Widget and my problem was solved. Then I discovered the album art cropping issue and the problem restarted.

Now if you could suggest any other way to show album art on the Desktop from Windows 11 widget it would be great. I don't want to use 2 music players to listen to online and offline music.

Thanks.

Try the following, extremely simple code, which returns only the cover, nothing else:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[mCover]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MediaPlayer
PlayerType=Cover

[MeterCover]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=mCover
X=0
Y=0
W=450
H=300

As you can see, in this case the [mCover] measure returns the cover, which is shown by the [MeterCover] meter. The size of the cover is set to 450 x 300 pixels, by the W and H options of the [MeterCover] meter. In such cases when you set both of these options, the image preserves its aspect ratio.
Is the cover cropped in this case as well?

No, It's not working, After your given resolution, I have tried with many other resolutions to get the exact Cover. But, no, it's actually doing everything on the fetched cropped Cover.

I don't know if this applies to your case, but maybe it's about this?

Check Yincognito's above idea, but I have no more idea about this. Sorry...
