Dang it. It's because of Spotify? Because it looks like the information is displayed the same way in the program.

For some reason, nowplaying doesn't seem to work with the POSITION option. it used to, but it displays 00:00 permanently.
foobar 1.1.14 beta 2.
latest foo_cad and rainmeter beta.

edit:
disregard this. for some strange reason it's working fine again.

I'm new to Rainmeter and still setting it up on my desktop.
Is it possible to control real player from "Now Playing" skin?

Thanks,

No, sorry.

Hey I used this foobar skin and all the config files: "http://br3tt.deviantart.com/gallery/29497701#/d35fg2d"

But your and all of rainmeter foobar skins rating system don't work for me. I mean I can change the song, I see the song and song's rating, everything is perfect except I can't rate. When I click into the stars It doesn't recognize anything. I used Cad 1.0.2.

one last thing. If you can optionally add lyrics for your plug-in. it will be perfect. I find so much lyrics skin but they are so big and not look so good.

Thanks for your help. Take care. I really obsessed with that rating thing.

Setting ratings is not supported with foobar2000 at the moment.

You can try PlayerType=LYRICS. Note that it is an undocumented feature and is far from perfect.

Thanks for your quick answer. I remembered when I last set up rainmeter. I found a skin with ratings support. But this skin needed to foobar components which http_control and some settings. Maybe you will do this do if this is not too much difficult. Thanks for your good effort and good skin.

Take care

I tried writing a winamp skin with NowPlaying plugin. But I have noticed that if you dont have a mp3 with the ID3 Tags the
Title and Artists are ""

Is there a "pretty" workaround to display only the filename then if both are nil?

Use substitution on the main player measure for example Substitute="":"N/A"
