Media Player Plugin

[Yincognito]

The position/duration issue is unfortunate, can't do anything about it if players/plugins don't provide that info to Windows.
It's the same with events like setposition, Playpause, etc. as they also need to be provided to windows from the player.
At least for events, WNP 2.0 has new measures like "SupportsPlayPause" etc to let skins know if the current player has support for it.

That's ok, maybe it will be corrected in the future by the related developers. The important thing is that it works, so at least there's a good base to have. Personally, I consider these drawbacks to be small, but it's true that they would be needed for complete skin information / control. Thanks again - good job!

Multiple artist names not showing in 'Windows Media Session', showing only the first artist name. I use Spotify and I just uninstalled Spicetify after this update. Everything is good except the artist's name.

Here is the Spotify Screenshot

It seems there isn't anything I can do about this. The windows API only allows for one artist to be specified and it seems Spotify only reports the first instead of joining multiple artists with commas :/

So is it possible to allow WebNowPugin to fetch data from multiple sources? In my case everything from Spotify Desktop (with Spicetify) except Album art and only Album art from Windows API. Then everything will work perfectly.

Just an idea... you could mass change the artist tags in your audio files to use a character that can be interpreted as not an artist separator by the API... there are software that could possibly do that (MP3Tag?)...

No, that's not possible.

Yeah, I can change it for offline mp3 files, but it's not possible for online music (in my case Spotify).

Yep, indeed - a good reason to prefer the former and be able to control your own life and possessions as you want.

Yes, you have made it possible in the latest update 2.0.1.0. Thank you.

Not sure what you mean, it's still not possible
