Description

Spotify removed the important local API some time ago. This is why all skins broke.
For now we are using a different approach which - unfortunately - needs some tweaking. I hate dependencies but this is the way to go.

It gets harder and harder to keep this skin alive. But it is alive. It is 4 years old by now and still working flawlessly.


The following steps are MANDATORY for a working skin, unfortunately. Read all the instructions first, please!


0. Delete any old version of the old "Spicetify Rainmeter Skin" if you used this skin before.

1. Follow these instruction carefully (5 commands one after an other into PowerShell + Comprehensive Guide available): pastebin.com/87muQXZ2

1.1 If an error occurs at the beginning you need to enable Internet Explorer 11 within the Windows settings and start it once for a properly working PowerShell.

1.2 If an error occurs saying something about a backup, just delete "backup" from the last line "spicetify backup apply" --> "spicetify apply" and press ENTER again

1.3 If an error occurs at the end simply reinstall Spotify as suggested by the script.

2. Install Spotify Control Rainmeter skin.

3. Play a song in Spotify and benefit.

4. After every Spotify client update you need to re-do step #1 (entering all 5 PowerShell commands again)


Features

Custom Right-Click-Menu for resizing (Fully scalable due to vector graphics)

Playback commands for free and premium users with on- and offline Spotify

Completely hidden when Spotify is closed

Thank you, this solution is based on the original one from khanhas I added already. But I linked the guide you mentioned as well! Thank you!

Thanks for your comment


CPU load on Rainmeter as seen on the Taskmanager? Hm, that is weird. My CPU load is under 0,7% all the time, no matter if idling or playing. Especially when idling there shouldnt be a load at all.


Did you disable every other Rainmeter skin except Spotify Control? I'd suggest to wait some time, maybe it's just in the beginning when the plugin deals with the Spotify API.

It's a bug in the Spotify API plugin. Currently I'm on holidays, but I was able to track down the error. It's getting harder and harder to keep this skin alive...



Have a look at the new description for the new approach

Hmm, since the CPU load is a relative value... what is your CPU model?

Okay they are more than overpowered for simple Rainmeter


But since I cannot reproduce any heavy load on the CPU while idling or while playing I really cannot help you, sorry!


Both my desktop PC and my Microsoft Surface Pro are showing the same load with a maximum of under 1%

Is there any way to lock the player into the currently playing mode? (Visible, with the little info tab at the bottom). The changing shape and vanishing when spotify isn't open is causing me some minor inconveniences, and I was wondering if there was a way to change that.

If you dig into the source code within the .ini-files you can change the behaviour of the skin
