[Release] LH_NowPlaying (v3.00)

[yatzee]

LH_NowPlaying: Foobar detected with no API plugin loaded.

I got this Error, and the Plugin does nothing. (Sidenote: the foo_rainmeter.dll does no longer exist...Edit: Found it and Installed it but still doesnt work ...)

I have recently started using the feature, LH_NowPlaying.

I use it with VLC, 2.0.1.
Web-interface enabled. (I cannot setup the web-interface in this version, other than on/off).

It transfers the time/timeplayed/left.. but not the title and/or filename to show.
As i recall it were the same just before i upgraded VLC.
Anyone els got the problem?

Hey, cool guys!

My Now Playing plugin doesn't load on startup of LCD Host 87% of the time.  I have to manually hit the "load" button in the list of installed plugins.  Any idea why?

[Triscopic]

Not really. I see this behaviour myself.

I think it's related to the way LCDHost protects itself against hung threads: some of the api calls it makes are slow to respond and fall fowl of LCDHost's hanging detection. I think.

What players do you have installed?

[Litcube]

Just Winamp.

I have a slight Problem.
Only a few of my Tracks are Displayed.
For the other Tracks is [Playing] displayed.

Pls help

[micpt]

micpt is right maybe the tracks. some do not. have information.

Hi Guys.

On the Plus side, Alpha 34 does run again on my machine (first attempt, anyway) - thank you very much!

On the Minus side: The NowPlayingAlbumArt is still not working right.  When a track is playing (Winamp), the correct album art is shown is shown.  However, when the Player is stopped, or not running at all, it Shows some static or a distorted part of the remaining LCDHost Screen.  This started somewhere around A29, I think - not absolutely sure, though. It was still alright in A25, which was the last stable build for me.

Example of current Display attached.

Any chance this plugin could support this https://github.com/untamed0/Untamed-Now-Playing plugin for chrome?

It would allow now playing data to be accessible for a lot of streaming media sites. Namely pandora.
It supports outputting to a txt file with basic variables as well as album art downloading.


EDIT: Just been playing around with the dataviewer plugin a bit and it seems to be possible to get it to display this now playing info. Would still be great to see these plugins work together.

So I know that LCDHost is basically abandoned, but I was trying to figure something out for Now Playing. I used to use winamp as my player which worked fine, but recently I started using Spotify. After some searching I have a question: does NP work with Spotify at all, or should I just give up trying to get the two to work?
