Mond player not working

[KrispyaKaza]

So basically, everything in the player works and can control Spotify, but the time on both sides are 00:00 and the progress bar doesn't move along with the song, it just stays at the beginning and can't move (I already have Spicetify and WebNowPlaying installed and configured but it still doesn't work), so what's the fix?

I'm not using Spotify so am not entirely sure, but as far as I can tell, since the Player skin of the Mond suite uses NowPlaying measures, and these measures are not entirely supporting the Spotify player, this is the cause of the issue. Unfortunately for a Spotify player, the measures can return only the name of the artist and track (in this case, these are returned by the [MeasureArtist] and [MeasureTitle] measures), but not the progress (which should be returned by the [MeasureProgress] measure). There probably no solution to can get this to work with Spotify, at least not with the NowPlaying measures.

(I already have Spicetify and WebNowPlaying installed and configured but it still doesn't work)

But did you added the appropriate measures to the skin, to work with any of these plugins?

No media player will work this way with Spotify, you only get basic controls with artist and track.

1. If you want to use only Spotify as a music player:
Right click on the skin and choose Edit skin.
Replace, in all measures, where you see Plugin=NowPlaying.dll with Plugin=WebNowPlaying
Then refresh the skin.

2. If you want to use and other music players (WindowsMediaPlayer, MusicBee, AIMP ....) go to Documents \ Rainmeter \ Skins \ Mond \ Player and make a copy to the Player,ini file and name it for example PlayerSpotify.ini. Then open the PlayerSpotify.ini file and make the change from point 1.
At the end right click on the Rainmeter icon in the Taskbar and choose Refresh all.
Now you have 2 players, one you use for Spotify and the other you use for other music players

A lot of progress, everything works in the player except the beginning time, instead of showing how much into the song I played, it shows the total song length, I want to fix this :

Everything works BUT the meter and time on the left stop after 2 seconds and don't move again unless I pause and unpause the song

It works well for me.I don't know why it doesn't work for you.
Try restarting Rainmeter...

If restart of Rainmeter (as suggested by xenium above) didn't fix the issue (and I think it didn't), post the code of your skin please, or, especially if the skin uses some resources, pack the whole config and upload the package here, to can check it.
