Plugin NowPlayingPlex

[mistic100]

Hello everyone.

I just finished the first version of a plugin able to query the current playing music on a Plex server.
It works globally like the NowPlaying measure with a few thing missing (a bunch of `PlayerType` not available and no bangs).

It was only tested locally but should works on a remote server too.

Complete documentation and download here https://github.com/mistic100/Rainmeter-NowPlayingPlex

Example usage :

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
PlexToken=XXXXXX
PlexUsername=JohnDoe

[MeasureTitlePlex]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlayingPlex
PlexToken=#PlexToken#
PlexUsername=#PlexUsername#
PlayerType=Title

[MeasureArtistPlex]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlayingPlex
PlayerName=MeasureTitlePlex
PlayerType=Artist

[MeasureAlbumPlex]

Plugin=NowPlayingPlex
PlayerName=MeasureTitlePlex
PlayerType=Album

[MeasureDurationPlex]

Plugin=NowPlayingPlex
PlayerName=MeasureTitlePlex

Substitute="00:00":""

After getting some sleep I realized the current playback is indeed available.

So version 1.0.1 introduces the `Position` and `Progress` player types.

Does this only show the music that is playing, or will it show other media as well? Does it show everything playing? I'd love a skin where I can see everything currently being played without having to go to the plex dashboard or load up tautulli.

It only returns the first media of type "Track" (music) https://github.com/mistic100/Rainmeter-NowPlayingPlex/blob/main/PluginNowPlayingPlex.cs#L183-L184

Changes could be made to return all playing media but I don't really know how this would be implemented... A single measure returns a line-break separated list ? Use multiple child measures with an "Index" property ?

Please open an issue on Github if you have a usage example, I will see if I can implement it.
