A NowPlaying like plugin for rainmeter built for getting music info from websites
License: GNU General Public License v2.0
Note: The new version is fully compatible with the old version and is a drop in update. All skins will continue to work as before with the new version
I have no idea why.. but it doesn't work on this version... I tried in on my Normal Firefox Version. and it works there but not on the Developer Edition.
Originally I had planned to have the plugin expose what all controls were available but thought that was to tedious. However having a simple what control set is visible would be nice.
Something simple like:
0 is none
1 is shuffle/repeat controls
2 is rating controls
3 is both.
Then a skin could only expose the buttons that are most likely to be missing in some players.
The skin didn't respond when I playing some music from Youtube. But the skin is still respond to soundcloud. Either the skin example and my edited skin had this same problem. This happen when I playing both the Mix and a single song/vid in youtube.
This is what I used :
I also used the 0.4.7 version of the Companion
The current track position shows the total time since I started playing any album/playlist, not the current position in the currently playing track - see the screenshot attached. (Where it says 12:48 and 413%).
Although plugin says "Connected and sending info" neither Cleartext nor WebNowPlayingExample works.
Yes i did the firewall thing.
And i'm using brave browser if it's important
Hi,
did you thought about adding support for www.di.fm? 🎧
Don't know if its popular enough though 🤔
Regardless of the decision, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLUGIN! 🙏

I don't know what happened, I don't recall updating anything recently but now it seems like it's not working:
Neither WebNowPlayingExample or Cleartext seem to work, but if I start playing spotify, Cleartext seems to pick it up:
As far as I know everything is installed and activated, and Cleartext is configured correctly to use WebNowPlaying as a secondary source and it worked fine before, if I need to provide any log files please let me know.
It would be greate if this plugin could support deezer:
I've been wanting to show the Artist/Song text with Open Broadcast Software Studio, so that I can show it on stream. That would be nice if you could do that

Latest versions of rainmeter, webnowplaying.dll, and webnowplaying companion
The VPN is private internet access, latest version. When I connect, the plugin stops working. Even after disconnecting it still doesn't work. Of course the internet works fine, as do other internet-related plugins. This plugin is the only thing that stops working. The companion says "not connected, click to troubleshoot" which does nothing. Then if I reload rainmeter it sometimes throws an error in the log saying that there were problems loading the plugin or something. I can't remember exactly what it says, and the majority of the time it doesn't mention the plugin at all, it's just kinda failing but not throwing any errors. But at some point, the log said something like I can only define one of port/proxy/domain or something. I'm totally misremembering, but it was something like that. Like the VPN changed some type of network connection property which caused the plugin to fail, and thereafter the plugin just stops looking or something. The first time I noticed this I just restarted my computer and it worked fine after that. The second time I tried closing rainmeter and firefox, then disabling and re-enabling my network adapter. This also worked fine. But these aren't really good solutions, I feel like it shouldn't fail during a VPN connection at all, but if it must, it should be able to boot back up by just refreshing the skin or at least opening and closing rainmeter. It seems to have nothing to do with firefox, I reproduced the issue with chrome too. I also tried connecting to the VPN while firefox was closed, and then opening firefox. Same deal. It's like the plugin is listening for something that it shouldn't need to. I don't have any other VPN subscriptions so I can't test if this is true for any other VPN but I posted here so that users of other VPNs can test it out.
My temporary workaround is to create a second, identical layout, except this layout loads a different music player skin which looks the same, but which has no measures calling the plugin. That way if I connect to the VPN while this skin is loaded instead of my normal music player skin, then the plugin doesn't get loaded at all. And I can safely connect, disconnect, then switch to my normal skin, and webnowplaying initializes just fine. I'm not a huge fan of increasing the number of steps though. If I don't find a better solution to this then I will write a little autohotkey script to automatically switch layouts when I click the VPN tray icon. Still a very imperfect solution, since then I have to be careful not to click the tray icon but choose not to actually connect or disconnect. But the only alternative would be listening for network changes for a trigger, and then I don't think it will switch the layouts fast enough to have the plugin unloaded by the time it recognizes the network change that causes it to break. So really this is the kind of problem that calls for fixing the underlying issue, but I'm not sure if it's my VPN client, or the webnowplaying plugin. It seems like the plugin shouldn't care about my network connection at all though, so even if it is unique to my VPN client it seems like it's due to something unnecessary.
Your chrome extension keeps sending numerous requests. While I normally wouldn't mind that if that's needed for its functionality, I do mind it taking up my dev tools. The console and networks tab of the dev tools keeps getting spammed with your requests.
I believe most extensions use their own background page for requests, so those requests don't show up on other webpages you visit. Perhaps, if possible, you can consider doing the same?
This plugin has relied on the client (aka the extension/app) to cache the data and only send it to the plugin on change. I do not want to change this behavior as I believe send as little communication of the websocket as needed is a good thing. However since other programs have figured out how to emulate the communication of this plugin I feel I should add a check to the album art to prevent needlessly downloading the same album art.
It seems that the Amazon Music and Twitch integration is broken - doesn't deliver any data.
Tested with Rainmeter 4.2 r3064 and Chrome 66 / Firefox 58.
Google Play Music, Soundcloud, Spotify and Youtube work properly.
The album art downloader was hacked together in an hour since I was leaving to visit family and should probably be rewritten instead of just kludging together more fixes. While rewriting it I should at the same time make it so song info does not fight for visibility as often (Possibly by checking who sent new important info last and which if any are visible)
OS: Windows 10
Rainmeter Version: 4.3.1.3321 (64-bit)
I am using the most recent version of the plugin.
When using Soundcloud, the track and artist name still works, but the album art no longer shows up. YouTube works just fine. This breaks in both the example skin and in the Monstercat Visualizer. In the Rainmeter log you get something along the lines of
Unable to get album art from: https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-gv6BU6dXdgHcyD8y-sCsKrA-t500x500.jpg
though the URL is valid and works fine in browser. This happened recently, as I believe it was working just a month or two ago, so it may be a change with whatever Soundcloud API the Extension uses, or it might be an issue with the Rainmeter plugin breaking due to a Rainmeter update.
It works for youtube, soundcloud, and every other one I tried, but deezer won't have the ablum art appear.
I'm not sure of the cause, as I cannot find any reference to this function call in the source code, but it seems this addon somehow causes Firefox to make window.onbeforeunload() a "restricted function". This causes any calls to it to fail as "Error: Permission denied to access object"
This occurs on any website, and can be witnessed simply by trying to view the object or run the function in the browser console.
without the extension installed:
with the extension installed:
This is on Windows 10 Insider Preview, using Firefox 67.0.1 with addon version 0.4.5.
[redacted]
Plex updated and not Showing text for Artist, Album or Song.
even Rainmeter is not showing names for either one using your plugin
When I use this extension and plugin with soundcloud, every variable works except for progress. It should be impossible to give anything above 100, but the only values I get from it are above 100. I'm using the chrome extension.
no info being shown from any website with new Rainmeter 4.4 Beta Release - r3404
Since I wait for return info from the website to update info it is possible for the old volume to be used if you were to send the command twice within the 50ms update window.
While the simple fix would be to assume that the value will change I think if I want to do that I might as well write every command to assume the info will update and rewrite the javascript to resend info if I assumed wrong (and possibly even if I assumed right). This will mean I can lower the refresh rate on the js side and while there is not any noticeable increase in CPU usage from the plugin it would just be nice.
Could you add last.fm support?
what coding languge do you guy use to create add-on's for programs
Any way I could interface with your plugin using Python or have the plugin simply output now playing info to text?
Steps I did to reproduce this error:

It eventually got over it and worked as expected, but I felt like i should open the issue here.
When FireFox switched to web extensions, a lot of people "jumped ship" and moved to other browsers that still supported legacy addons, one of those being Waterfox - a forked version of FireFox.
Given that there is already a companion addon for FireFox and that Waterfox is probably pretty similar, I was curious if a companion addon could be made for Waterfox as well (I can confirm it doesn't work with Waterfox 54.0.1).
Either way, thank you and keep up the great work!!
Since Spotify doesn't return album art for local files, is it possible to detect if Spotify is listening to a local file and then use Spotify's logo as the cover or the DefaultPath? Currently, it shows the previous non local file album art when playing a local file.
Thanks.
It would be great if this plugin could support VK music.
I know that VK is not at all popular in your country, but this is the most popular social network in Russia. Such as facebook in USA :)
https://vk.com
The name of the album on Youtube Music is a circle/dot instead of the actual name.
Works fine on sound-cloud, but no data when playing videos on youtube. :(
I am trying to build the project from source. I am using Visual Studio 2019, on Windows 10.
I cloned the repo and added my api keys, but I get the following error:
syntax error at token '-' in: IL_0029: ldc.r8 -inf
Is this an issue with ILMerge?
i use the spotify web player and its not loading on the latest version of either webnowplaying or cleartext
Not sure which one it is
Is it possible to make tidal work with rainmeter by chance ? - im aware its possible with the web-page version but im curious about the actual client since its more practical. - thanks for your time
it would be great if this plugin could support Plex.tv
I love this and use it for soundcloud and youtube, but noticed my rainmeter apps weren't working with https://www.mixcloud.com and notice that WNP doesn't support it. If you're free please add this site! :D Thanks and love the WNP functionality keep up the good work!
Input error when SoundCloud is selected, and the extension give me this error or 'Needs to update' error.
Integer-value:
SetPosition <100 and it jumps to 0% of the current track.
SetPosition >=100 and it jumps to the next track.
Double-value one decimal:
SetPosition <= 9.9 and it jumps to 0% of the current track.
SetPosition > 9.9 and it jumps to the next track.
Double-value two decimals:
SetPosition <= 1.00 and it jumps to 0% of the current track.
SetPosition > 1.00 and it jumps to the next track.
It seems the dot in the double value gets terminated (I don't use double values anyway).
If you use double-values it will also jump to 0% with the Google Play Music or Youtube, otherwise the bang works properly with these two players.
Tested with Rainmeter 4.2 r3064 and Chrome 66 / Firefox 58.
Chrome Extensions is already installed, but it is not working.
let me preface this... i am not very smart.
i have tried installing manually, and automatically. ive even gotten it to the point where the Magick Album Art visualizer will show album covers when i play a song on soundcloud. But i cant get the monstercat visualizer to work with it, and i cant get it to work with tidal.
i've followed everything ive managed to find online, and am lost.
Would it be possible to include support for Bandcamp?
Thank you for making this extension!
When listening to a "Station" on Amazon Prime there is no "Shuffle" or "Repeat" available. This makes Rainmeter throw both a "Web Side Error:Error updating shuffle for Amazon Music" error and a "Web Side Error:Error updating repeat for Amazon Music" error every 100ms. However, when listening to an album or other playlist where "Shuffle" and "Repeat" are available, these errors do not occur.
The plugin takes up a lot of performance.
It Occupies CPU 10% to 80%.
I tried a lot of skins, but the problem still remains unresolved.
In Rainmeter log Web Side Error:Error updating cover for Spotify. No Album art is displayed from Spotify playlists. This is affected by both the Chrome and Firefox extensions 0.4.6
EDIT: This issue is not occurring with WebNowPlaying Spotify with spicetify-cli.
I was hoping we could get a way to display as a moving bar the progress thru the song. Or if its already possible how would it be done.
Thank you in advanve
Getting approx 20 errors per second (avg of every .05 sec). is anyone else noticing this? it's causing high memory usage.
