The RetrOcOlOr player uses the NowPlaying measure (was previously a plugin measure).I am using Windows 11. I was using RetrOcOlOr skin's music player, and it was working fine until recently, it suddenly stopped detecting my Spotify. I am using the Spotify player that was downloaded from the website, not the default Windows one. I tried using other music player skins, but none of them worked. I tried the same Rainmeter version and the same skins on Windows Sandbox on the same computer, and it was working fine in the sandbox. However, on the main computer, none of the music players are detecting Spotify. I tried clean installing Rainmeter multiple times.
Recently ,on Windows 11, there have been some reported issues with skins using NowPlaying with Spotify.
Try using the WebNowPlaying plugin instead of NowPlaying.
To do this, follow the steps below:
1-Install WebNowPlayingRedux.rmskin and the latest version of the WebNowPlaying plugin will be installed automatically:
https://github.com/keifufu/WebNowPlaying-Rainmeter/releases/tag/2.0.7
2-Right click on the RetrOcOlOr player and choose Edit skin.
Replace where you see:
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
with
Plugin=WebNowPlaying
Save the file and then refresh the skin.
Now the skin should work (including the progress bar that was not supported by NowPlaying)
